so very short for an origin story, but I liked the art.

We have alien invasion, unexpected allies, unexpected enemies, a lot of mutating and morphing, great action scenes, wonderful art, and a tight story with an ending that promises more in this overlapping world.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite crossovers. (also, it's very nice to see different forms of my beloved turtles)...more

It's an adventure thYou really have to suspend belief when you read this, because while I enjoyed it, the details can really make you stop and wonder.
It's an adventure that takes place in Europe, away from Gotham and everything Batman knows, against a villain that's intent on "undoing all that Batman has done to bring justice". It poses the quesstion to Batman to consider the consequences of his actions. and since it's a bit on the shorter side, it didn't have enough time to be elaborate, and that resulted in some hasty decisions.
The art was wonderful, and Bruce/Batman was angsty as usual. I had some questions along the way, but I feel like I've enjoyed it enough and it gave me the feel of the characters, and that's what I look forward to the most when reading comics...more
a collection of different works drawn by Frank Quitely (none of the works here are written by him, some comics are black and white and others in colora collection of different works drawn by Frank Quitely (none of the works here are written by him, some comics are black and white and others in color). some of them from DC comics (mainly Batman) and others from different series and books he worked on. and scattered across the book are some covers he worked on, (covers I loved: Vamps: Pumpkin time, Transmetropolitan #6, The Authority, his rendition of The Endless, Batman & Robin, the robo cat and dog and bunny, all his covers for Batman and Robin). Truly a great read!
1- The Physicist and the flying saucers: a black and white comic about Bob Lazar, a real figure in America and one of the main people advocating to conspiracy theories about aliens and area 51 in nevada. I didn't know about him before reading this comic
2- New toys: toy story but make it horror! the last panel will keep me up at night!
3- A visit with the hanging judge: no, thank you. literally a judge who was famous for hanging people talking about the different hangings in the US.
4- Salvador dali: a biography of salvador dali, would have loved to see full-pages art of some of his paintings.
5- The Heroic Revenge Fantasy: a short revenge story. I mean, I can't deny that I've had similar fantasies.
6- The Elephant man: really sad, about the life of the "elephant man", who I heard a little about. a man who had many diformities that made life cruel to him.
7- Romancing the Stone: a story about a man who's in love with stone. he gets turned on by anthing stony. streets, statues, anything at all. it's funny at times and really disturbing at times.
8- The Cottingsley Fairy Photos: loved this! a story of two cousins and how they supposedly took pictures of fairies. also based of course on real people and events.
9- Your special day: a mafia story and a wedding story. told through photographs from a wedding from the point of view of a hired killer. very engaging.
10- Ma Barker: interesting story about a criminal family of sons and their mother in the US.
11- Immune: this was terrifying. a story of a plague and immune people, and how the first symptom isn't physical, it's the paranoia. a little bit genius in my opinion.
12- Pavel Navratsky's Pig Pen: an interesting story about a Ukrainian man hiding from the Russian troops and a sad conclusion to his story. reminds me of the classical story about the man who spent around 40 years asleep and went back to his village and found everything changed.
13- Nice Neighbourhood: huh. this was interesting. geezers in a zombie-like state caused by something like viagra. I mean, it's a lesson in getting old.
14- St. Polycarp: The Cult of Saints: religious story about an old saint. liked the art but the story was too short. a small biography piece.
15- Batman: Scottish Connection: there's some gorgeous art in this one, also it's nice to read a Batman adventure outside of Gotham. this one incorporates myths and legends and scottish heritage.
16- Flexibility: about the funny superhero "Offspring" whose super power is flexibility to take any shape and control his body any way he wants, reminds me of Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four. but I loved the aspect of father-son duo, I don't see it much in superhero teams.
17- Watching You: well, this was horrific. a real horror tale of obsession and love and addiction.
18- Glitterdammerung!: this one was too weird for me.
19- Destiny: I'm in love with his art for The Sandman and his portrayl of the Endless. has to be one of my favorite artists drawing these characters. this was perfection.
20- Batman Reborn, part one: in this story, Bruce is dead and Dick Grayson (one of our old Robins and previously known as Nightwing) takes his place, with Damian by his side as Robin. 21- Batman Reborn, part two: delving a lot into the psychology of Damian and Dick, and how each of them deals differently with losing Bruce. 22- Batman Reborn: part three: a bad-ass ending, and it makes me want to continue reading that series
23- Time and the Batman: Today: very short, and we're still with Nightwing as Batman, and Bruce isn't in the picture. also keeping the legacy of "where Batman was born" alive.
24- Snapshot: Revelation! while many of the stories don't really require a lot of background info, I felt totally lost reading this one. ...more

It's very gory, and I can't read more than a volume at a time, but I'm still not gripped by this character, I'm interested, but he's not the best hero (or anti-hero) I read about so far.

Of course this is titled "Origin" as it imagines the first mission that brought the Justice League together to work as a team This was incredibly fun!
Of course this is titled "Origin" as it imagines the first mission that brought the Justice League together to work as a team and the villains they face, but it also assumed that you know a little bit of background about each one of them. My favorite is Batman, so I loved all the snarky comments thrown his way (about his lack of super-human abilities and his deep voice), I could'nt help but picture Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern and Henry Cavill as Superman.
The fights were great and the art was breathtaking, I was memsmrized by some of the full-pages illustrations to take in all the details. And of course, it doesn't have an "ending", because these superhero stories just don't have an ending....more
