hmmm.... this could be interesting.... i don't see this team staying with the government for too long.... but it is definately interesting...

Mostly set-up, but interesting set-up. Keen to see what happens next. :)

Is it bad that I really want Vibe to survive/succeed?

[fungo_squiggly]

Wait, so he just GAVE the kid the Snickers he stole?

Dammit, Vibe! Thanks to your permissive super-heroing, that little punk will probably grow up to be some kind of candy-themed supervillain.

The M&Murderer, perhaps. Or a member of the Reese's Peanut Butter Crips.

Is that supposed to be Amanda Waller? Boy did the reboot do a number on her, she just looks so generic now.
What's up with Hawkman though? I didn't read Hawkman and I don't know what state the character is in after Liefeld got his hands on him.
Stargirl is cool though. I feel like maybe she works better as a legacy character, but I guess it depends on how they work her backstory.
I also like the idea of establishing Steve Trevor as his own character, I mean, it could slip into the territory of making him an ersatz Nick Fury, but he's been a weak character for so long at this point that anything would be an improvement.

What I found unintentionally hilarious (and what's not shown here) is that one of the reasons Amanda Waller decides to form the Justice League of America, and ultimately gets Steve Trevor on board is, because of Superman and Wonder Woman hooking up. Thus once again, even though DC has been going out of their way to ship Superman and Wonder Woman, Geoff Johns--the very guy who made them an item in the first place--is flat out saying it's making things a whole lot worse for everybody. Yeah, their romance is certainly not going to last beyond the Trinity War, folks. Heck, Johns might as well have titled this comic "Super Cockblockers" because that's essentially what this incarnation of the Justice League of America's primary mission really is.

So Darkseid’s invasion is going to be the Nu52’s version of Invasion's Gene Bomb? Unless that will be used just for Vibe's origin and not other hoeres.

Hawkman might be just grabbing random human criminals for some purpose back on Thanagar. Interesting.

Hmm... It's an interesting angle, except that it's kind of a rehash of the plot from the Nu52 Justice League International. Admittedly, it sucked, so maybe they can do better with it, here

My biggest gripe is the idea that Ollie Queen would join a government run super-hero team. I mean New!Ollie has none of the character depth the original had. But it still just "feels" wrong, somehow.

Really DC? You're going to invoke raising the Flag on Iwo Jima but alter the pose so Catwoman is leaning further forward? Where is her other arm?

Someone Hawkeye Initiative this shit.

I know I bring this up a lot but..goddammit this new 52 Green Arrow is pretty much Roy Harper in all things but name and wealth! This version of Justice League is right up his alley, yet DC couldn't think of anything besides Cry for Justice?!...

*sigh*

Sorry. Sorry. Really had to get that out.

[red_cyclone]

Is Stargirl older? She'd always been, I don't know, less polished than this one appears? Here she seems at least 18, or drawn that way, less like a young teenager.

[espanolbot]

Lindsey Lohan? Really? No one more contemporary they could have used? Why not stick some Paris Hilton jokes int here as well while you're at it.

[perletwo]

So Waller's breasts have doubts about Steve's competence, is what I'm getting from the panel right after the Stargirl sequence...?

[bradygirl_12]

Using the Iwo Jima statue pose? Not sure I like that.

Archie's (looks like Comics?) Shop?

Pet peeve: why does Steve have brown hair? BLOND, people, BLOND! ;)

Amanda: *sighs* She has that strained look of someone who lost a lot of weight, so maybe she wasn't always skinny in this Elseworld.

Stargirl is like a cheerful pre-COIE hero. I like that. SO over grimdark heroes!

[junipepper]

Amazing how Catwoman is able to arch her back like that while leaning forward. It takes a lot of upper body strength, which I'm sure is the message we're meant to get out of this image. My, how very... athletic.

Hmm. Especially as she seems to have only one arm.



Iwo Jima. Just -- wrong on so many levels.
