And I’m going to include Ross in the problems with the storytelling because he’s co-credited with the story though Krueger wrote the script. I found Ross’ work in the late 1990s to be the lift we needed, alongside Grant Morrison’s out of the post-Crisis malaise DC Comics found itself in.

Marvel uses the speed of Mercury to catch up to the Flash and knocks him off balance with his magic lightning bolt. Justice takes place outside of the regular DC Universe continuity, with most of the characters featured in the story being modern day incarnations of their Silver Age of comic books counterparts. The biggest problem with Ross and Kreuger’s work at this point is how dense and over-crowded the story becomes.

Ross followed this up with the best-selling KINGDOM COME for DC Comics, followed by work on SUPERMAN, BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN which is collected in WORLD'S GREATEST SUPER-HEROES and UNCLE SAM for Vertigo. And also maybe wonder who fired all the nukes because the answer would be a villain, not the heroes.

Green Arrow and Black Canary are attacked by Scarecrow and Clayface, while Hawkman and Hawkwoman are surprised by Toyman and the Atom is shot by Giganta. C. Featured here are the Atom sitting on Wonder Woman’s shoulder, the Green Arrow and Black Canary, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, the Martian Manhunter, Flash, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Zatana, the Red Tornado, and Elongated Man. Mark Waid’s Tower of Babel storyline, where Batman’s intel on each JLA member’s weaknesses is used against them, is trotted out tediously again.
