I debated picking up this book. I knew that I would probably pick it up in trade if not in issues, but I gave in and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad that I did. Robinson so deftly crafted this story that I could feel the tension at the JLA Satellite. He was able to create a feeling that something big was happening, but without resorting to a big brawl between heroes. (Which I think we’ve seen too much of lately.) Robinson focused on the friendship between Hal and Ollie which is legendary, but new to me. This issue then moves on into introducing and setting up the rest of the team. These little vignettes were the perfect introduction to these characters who might not be known to all. In addition to the story, the art was amazing.  It has a painted look, but I don’t think that it is.  Also, the additional material in the back was great. Overall, this was a solid beginning to a mini with a lot of promise.
