JUSTICE LEAGUE #14
by Geoff Johns, Tony Daniel and Gary Frank
Justice League #14. As with issue 13, it's a mix between a corny story, good art, and a decent backup story.
Geoff Johns makes this book incredibly corny and overdramatic again. The Cheetah isn't an interesting villain at all, whose motives and goals are cliched supervillain fare. Johns ends the issue with an overdone scene between Superman and Wonder Woman, and has Batman just watching them like a creeper. The Flash makes the same mistake, and the way they take Cheetah down is completely unjustified.
However, Tony Daniel's art looks even better than ever. He draws an awesome Batman, and his portrayals of the different characters aren't overdone.
The backup story is actually pretty decent. The latest chapter of the Shazam! saga delivers a funny and grim debut of Black Adam in the real world, as Billy and Freddie spend their money earned from saving people. Gary Frank's art looks pretty good, with his detailed Andy Clarke-esque style, though some facial expressions look incredibly awkward, stiff, and sometimes, even lifeless. However, when he hits, he captures emotion perfectly.
Justice League #14 is an okay buy, since the story is incredibly disappointing. However, the art looks AWESOME, and the backup is interesting.
STORY: 1/5
ART: 5/5
BACKUP: 3/5
VERDICT: 3/5
