Ramifications of the mini Justice League: Cry for Justice were spoiled about a month prior to its last issue in the regular Justice League book, also by James Robinson. But that’s only a fraction of the stunning conclusion; there are still some surprises in the last two issues of the seven-parter. Before all that, the reader has to endure the first five meandering, less-interesting issues and blog-like commentary by the author (pages that could have been devoted to the expansion of the story, maybe even the inclusion of Batwoman, as previously planned). Still, Robinson’s insights are valuable, and there are short, helpful character histories by Len Wein. Robinson introduces a more proactive team fighting a more invincible Prometheus. Mauro Cascioli provides vibrant artwork; Scott Clark later helps out the artist, his simpler style noticeable but still colored to look as painstakingly rendered. Not a bad miniseries, but it could’ve been told in fewer issues.
