May 6, 2010 10:22 am It sort of touches on the 'right of first use,'  which reminds me of the arguments that go all the way back to the days of tape recording LP albums (someone will need to explain the technology to the younger crowd.  'The Man' worked very, very hard to show that it hurt the industry, but, there were some studies showing that it actually encouraged sales.  I wonder if the same concept applies to comics?

April 8, 2010 10:31 am Yes.  I love this run.  I've been grabbing some out of the bargain bins and have gotten adicted.  To me this is what comics should be.  And you've really nailed the 'why'.  I think Robinson had a chance to do something really good by reestablishing the new JLA and developing the characters.  Something like the 80's JLI did after The Crisis.  Thanks for the reminder that I need to go bin diving again.

I can't remember who made the comment (some filmmaker or writer) that the key to translating a book to screen is to capture the essence of the book.  The best example I can think of is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  So I'm glad to hear it keeps true to the book.

 Left turn?  I found the change in Watchman more than acceptable, if not better to interpret for the mainstream.  It was very consistent with the concepts given at the end of the book.  Personaly I would argue that it was better in some sense but that's personal.

 Excellent review.
