It is true that the main thing is the characterization, it was a truly character driven story and this first book only just scratches the surface of what these characters have to offer. This run defines these characters for decades, J'onn J'onzz specifically, this is his run on the League, his and Maxwell Lord`s.

The big problem was that DC rebooted "most" of their individual heroes after the CRISIS but did NOT reboot their teams. This is where the problem came in for adding the big guns to JLI at the start. They had to retcon Black Canary in Wonder Woman's place in JLA history and J'onn for Superman.....etc. Now Wonder Girl debuted before Wonder Woman....etc. CRISIS created even worse problems for Titans with Donna Troy's ever changing origin and LEGION with the equally eternal Superboy problem. Not doing a full reboot was the problem here.

@101Mant 3 жыл бұрын

DC never wants to reboot everything since some things are always successful. So the reboots are always a band and and the cracks start for show and then the solution is another reboot. It was reboot fatigue that eventually killed my interest in DC comics despite loving some of the characters and still watch shows and movies.
