The best one yet! - Rated
These were originally published as JLA #34 - #41.

The World War III story is the best one of the JLA series so far. Not only does it bring together many of the previous stories, it also yet again brings forth the basic characters of several of the key JLAers.

This is the end of the world saga foretold in several earlier JLA issues. The Injustice League is back as well, recruiting previous nemesis Prometheis (although Batman, whom Prometheis handily whooped last time, has a few tricks in store for him). The injustice league also rescues General Eiling from an asteroid where he was marooned several issues ago. But the return of the Injustice League isn't the main event; the end of the world as foretold by many (Meteron, Hourman, Zauriel to some extent) is coming, in the form of the aptly named Mageddon. This is the threat that Orion and Barda were sent to Earth to fight, although it seems even greater than their powers.

Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Plastic Man all get to show their character, flaws and all. Again, this is what makes JLA among the best graphic novels: the heroes have character flaws, even Superman, and the JLAers sometimes dig into each other.

The best bit is Batman, the king of despair, helping Superman, the eternal optimist, overcome mental anguish caused by Maggedon.

The worst part of the JLA is all of the changes that happen in the characters own comics. Diana is back as Wonder Woman, replacing her mother with no explanation. Other characters wander in and out (though there is some great interaction with Huntress, Superman and Batman).

Fav panel: pg 176: Zauriel, getting volunteers from the Pax Dei!

The Biggest Baddest coolest Super hero comic of all time. - Rated
I know the Watchmen is more intelligent, the Authority more original, and X-men more complicated, but this is the most exciting comic ever written.

Building up to this for 25 odd issues, Morrison just goes mad, for his final story line and makes every story you've ever read, seen or heard seem small and subtle. This redefines epic.

More fun than most summer blockbusters, just buy this and enjoy. It ain't rocket science, but it's fun.

An epic tale and a cast of thousands grasp your attention. - Rated
The tale is one of then biggest in DC's history so far. All the right ingredients are here: destruction, amazing odds, action, personal battles and the death of a well loved hearo ( I won't say who). All this adds up to an amazing story that is secured by the art work and pace. The bad guys are good as well: promethius who took down the league single handed, the indestructable general and an all new baddie: Queen bee. Go now and buy this masterpiece
