My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is good old-fashioned Justice League with all the classic heroes and villains in their original costumes on bright beautiful display. Reading this book is one big dose of nostalgia for me. They even managed to include a 2-page spread of the Hall of Doom which brought back memories of the 70′s Super Friends cartoon!
The story is epic enough to last the 12 issues and the artwork is of the high quality one would expect from Doug Braithwaite’s pencils and Alex Ross’ paints. The heroes look sufficiently larger-than-life, and Ross (as usual) manages to make their costumes look like being a realistic possibility and not silly-spandex. The book does remind me of “Kingdom Come” quite a bit in both story (e.g. the means of control) and look (i.e. costumes and faces) but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I must admit though that it can get a little hard distinguishing faces as characters tend to look alike in some panels, especially the males. And I do think the ending felt a little limp (particularly with regards to the main antagonist) and there was some copping out on the part of the writer. A few events involving death would have been tragic but much more honourable; and thus more satisfying for me.
Definitely a must-read for comic fans! 
). It was a nostalgic event for me and a first – and last- for my kids. From July the train station in Singapore will operate from Woodlands. We rented a car from KL and a house near Morib Beach, visited a couple of homestay kampungs and a gorgeous uncrowded waterfall. The trip was a good break from the office and the fast-paced Singapore lifestyle, but after that it did take me a couple more days to recover from the whole experience. And before you know it vacation has ended and it’s back to work. The second half of the semester starts next week, and I’m as busy as ever.
