Justice League Vol. 1: Origin (The New 52)

“Writer Geoff Johns and artist Jim Lee toss you–and their heroes–into the action from the very start and don’t put on the brakes. DC’s über-creative team craft an inviting world for those who are trying out a comic for the first time. Lee’s art is stunning.” —USA Today “Welcoming to new fans looking to get into superhero comics for the first time and old fans who gave up on the funny-books long ago…. Written by Geoff Johns, with art by the godly Jim Lee, Justice League is a must read.” —Complex Magazine “A good jumping-on point for new customers.” —Paste Magazine “I don’t care that he doesn’t have red trunks, and I don’t care that his suit has a few pointless lines on it to make it look sort of armorish instead of tightsy. I don’t even care that there’s no spitcurl, but just an approximation of one. He’s still Superman and he’s still great.” —Crave Online “A great book.” —Ain’t It Cool News, Five Star Review “A fun ride.” —IGN
