Superman,
alone among the JLA, felt that Aquaman didn't die during the
alien invasion of Earth. His faith is rewarded with evidence
that Aquaman was instead hurled 3000 years back in time. Now
the JLA must stage a daring rescue mission - despite Green
Lantern's premonitions that this mission will cause his own
death...
The
Obsidian Age is
an extremely entertaining read. And the artwork is worthy
of merit too - but then it could be the new settings that
bring a new look to this JLA collection. Oh, and don't worry
if you are not up to speed with the events that unfolded during
the alien invasion of Earth. It's not essential that you followed
that storyline.
All
your favourite heroes are present and correct. And, just in
case you have been on Mars for the last few years, there is
even a handy list of whose who at the front of this graphic
novel.
In
places The Obsidian Age is almost cinematic in its
framing and it made me realise that a JLA movie has been greatly
overlooked. Hopefully that will be rectified very soon.
The
conclusion has a "Oh my gawd!" revelation to it
that will have you itching to get hold of the second collection.
Well, it did me anyway.
One
of the better JLA collections to be released recently.
