30 issues later, the relaunched ‘Justice League of America’ title still hasn’t recaptured the grandeur or urgency of the previous JLA monthly, or at least the Morrison, Waid and Kelly issues. The current Justice League’s lineup is okay, but the adventures don’t really make the reader care for the characters. The focus on Black Canary, Firestorm, Vixen, Hawkgirl and Red Arrow is good, but the drama often feels forced. The Jim Lee-esque art offers little variation in body types and facial structures, and sometimes impedes the narrative with unnecessary, ‘90s-ish pinup shots. This title really needs to improve.

They'll be changing the lineup again soon, right?
I dropped this book before Brad Meltzer ended his run, took a peek recently because of the Milestone characters appearing and it still didn't get me interested. The story seemed to fly in all directions, and the art didn't help, too. Maybe they can get Dale Eaglesham now that he's off JSA. That guy knew how to draw a team book.
Yup, I think they're removing Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman for a while.
The Milestone thing was interesting when it started, but it fizzled quickly.
Dale Eaglesham... I think he'll be drawing the Fantastic Four monthly soon. I agree, he can draw a team book. Love his JSA and Villains United issues.
