The Injustice League: Less Than the Sum of Its Parts
Dwayne McDuffie's run on "Justice League" gets off to a big start, with the Injustice League capturing the Justice League. The last time that Lex Luthor and the Joker teamed up in "Infinite Crisis" they put a bullet in Alexander Luthor's head. Here, though, they're far less vicious--Luthor won't let any of the other villains harm their Justice League foes until they've captured Superman. Most of the villains don't have much dialogue; the Joker, in particular, has only a couple of lines and is pretty inconsequential to the storyline. The entire story is somewhat pointless, and its only novelty is that it is a lead-in to the JLA: Salvation Run (Jla (Justice League of America) (Graphic Novels)) series.

The superfriends vs. the legion of doom
Did you like Superfriends? If so, then you will enjoy this. If not then you will want to stay far away. Almost gave it 3 stars but the art is worth an extra star.

Slightly disappointing
Dwayne McDuffie, one of the creative minds behind the great Justice League Unlimited animated series, begins his run on Justice League of America with The Injustice League, which is more of an ode to the Superfriends cartoons of old than anything else. Lex Luthor unites the super villains to form The Injustice League, consisting of heavy hitters including Joker, Bizarro, Killer Frost, and more besides; and they start systematically taking on the Justice League. While the idea is fun and enjoyable to a point, the storyarc as a whole just comes off as kind of boring. Not a whole lot happens in these pages, and things sadly don't develop well or go anywhere either. That being said, what saves The Injustice League from being comic fodder is the spectacular artwork from artists like Ed Benes and Mike McKone, whose work make The Injustice League worth checking out for alone. Other than that though, The Injustice League is worth a look for JLA devotees, and can be passed by pretty much everyone else.
