Written by rising star Steve Orlando (BATMAN, MIDNIGHTER) and illustrated by a league of superstar artists including Ivan Reis (GREEN LANTERN) and Andy MacDonald (DETECTIVE COMICS), this JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. SUICIDE SQUAD spin-off is a JLA for a whole new era--exploding from the pages of the blockbuster DC Rebirth event! The Justice League and the Suicide Squad-the World's Greatest Heroes and its worst-went to war. A team unlike any other rose from the ashes. Batman. Black Canary. Vixen. The Atom. The Ray. Killer Frost. Lobo. Some are heroes, some are villains and some exist in the gray area in between. But the Caped Crusader sees the potential in all of them to show everyday people that their superhuman guardians are just like them: capable of fighting for justice despite their flaws. Batman had better be right, because Earth is about to be invaded by a threat from beyond our universe. The tyrant called Lord Havok and his army of Extremists are out to make the planet safe again-by destroying the free will of all its inhabitants. Can this untested new Justice League help America fend off the Extremists' agenda? And can the Dark Knight contain the Main Man-the living weapon of mass destruction known as Lobo? Discover the answers in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA VOL. 1: THE EXTREMISTS! Also includes JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: REBIRTH #1.… (more)

It shouldn't have worked. It really shouldn't have worked. And yet for the most part it did.

It's yet another team, this time the JLA, not to be confused with just the JL. It's put together by Batman. He starts with the former Killer Frost, now Frost, and then he also gets Black Canary, Lobo, the New Atom, a guy called Ray on board, and Vixen to sorta kindaish lead the team too.

They're supposed to be the team with no masks. Not the 'gods' like Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, as Batman calls them, but the more human heroes (or trying to be heroes). And I think it really does work as that sort of team.

And then they go up against Havok and his team, all of which are more like the Justice League than the Justice League of America, and that was an interesting look at power vs. freedom.

I look forward to more of this, especially Frost, and whatever's going on with Blue Jay (yay Blue Jay!)

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of DC Entertainment. ( )
