It's not just a standard superhero comic in the traditional sense, which I thoroughly enjoy, but one that has a lot of layers to it that you can have conflicting opinions about.

What They Say:
The Pykkts are attacking Earth. As the only warrior in all the cosmos to ever defeat them, Adam Strange leads the planet’s mightiest heroes in all-out war! The only thing is, evidence is mounting that Adam’s victory on Rann may not have been everything he says it was. There is time unaccounted for, circumstances left unexplained. Even Batman has started to wonder about his friend. Sure, they are fighting side by side right now, but who will answer for all the things that got them here? Why, Alanna Strange, of course! It’s time for the Rannian princess to go out and set the record straight. The hit series continues on a bimonthly schedule.
If the history of
Zack Snyder’s Justice League feels as if it stretches back a long time, spare a thought for the comic book at the heart of it. DC’s
Justice League of America debuted in 1960, with the team actually making its first appearance earlier that year in
Brave and the Bold #28.
In the six decades since, the team has been relaunched, rebooted, dissolved, and remade on multiple occasions, with all manner of heroes running through its line up, as the group has moved from the Northeastern coast of the US to the moon and back in terms of home locale, with just a brief stopover in Detroit during the 1980s. They’ve seen some changes, to say the least.
Best Comic of the Week:
Strange Adventures #8 – Things have been slow in this series from time to time, but now, as the Pykkt invasion of Earth reaches critical levels, we get closer to learning some truths about what happened during the war on Rann. Tom King started suggesting early in this series that Adam Strange might have been lying about that war, and it looks like we might get to see what really happened very soon. Having Mitch Gerads and Evan Shaner trade art duties on this book was a brilliant decision, and I find myself more intrigued by this book than ever.
