Justice League of America #15

Writer Dwayne McDuffie pulls out the stops on an all out action packed issue of "Justice League of America". McDuffie infuses humor and great dialogue into the wrap-up issue for the InJustice League story. Artist Ed Benes is also in top form producing some great page layouts and action sequences. Ian Churchill's cover was very reminiscent of late 70s and 80s JLA covers - especially seeing Lex Luthor in full battle armor. I liked McDuffie's use of Firestorm here and the comments of the more experienced heros on his use of his powers. It was also nice to see Hal Jordan pop in and the situation with his absence getting comment. McDuffie has a good ear for dialogue and, while there isn't a ton of character development here, he does inch some of the subplots forward during the melee.

McDuffie won me over with this issue. I'm looking forward to a long run.
