Justice League Cry For Justice #2 (OF 7)

Did James Robinson decide to write a parody of bad nineties ‘extreme’ books and forget to tell everybody? Because if we are supposed to take Cry for Justice seriously... This comic is  filled with so much poor writing and nonsense that it is approaching Jeph Loeb on Hulk levels. Oh look two of our lead characters randomly meet up on Blackhawk Island (of all places) and decide for no real good reason (and in a way that really seems at odds with one of the characters supposedly long lived and learned nature) get into a fight before discovering that they are conveniently not only both orgasming lately whenever the word justice is mentioned but also both after the same group of still wholly undefined badguys. You know a book that is supposed to be all about heroes getting proactive and taking the fight to the villains would be well served by establishing by the end of issue 2 a memorable villain to play with. Oh and the less said about the threesome debacle the better. News flash DC: women don’t just exist to be used sexually. You’re welcome. Oh well at least the art is pretty and that is all that really matters. Right? If you want read the real superhero book about a immortal talking gorilla who used to be human being teaming up with an alien (or alien like figure) as part of a team trying to really fight evil, go read Agents of Atlas and leave this travesty alone.
