\"Justice,<\/p>\n

By Jim Krueger<\/strong>, Alex Ross<\/strong> & Doug Braithwaite<\/strong> (DC Comics)
\nISBN13: 978-1-84576-630-6<\/p>\n

The Big Finale to the epic battle between the Super Powers of the DC universe reveals the dastardly master-plan of Lex Luthor and the alien computer intelligence Brainiac as the resurgent heroes – each clad in personalised Battle Armour (Gotta Collect ‘Em All!) – go into concerted action to save the world not just from the depredations of the desperate villains but also the now real imminent threat of nuclear destruction.<\/p>\n

Thrilling and sumptuously fulfilling it should nevertheless have been with us a lot sooner in this overlong and meanderingly padded tale that comes so close to being great comics but instead looks like a wish list for a toy-factory or DC Direct.<\/p>\n

I truly understand that it’s a tough commercial world and that lots of fans love the toys, gadgets, statues and what-nots that are part-and-parcel of modern comics publishing. I just worry that when peripherals begin to dictate the content of your product then you have a product that’s no longer able to sustain itself.<\/p>\n

In this case that translates into three superb creators spending a lot of time getting it almost right, but failing to make the kind of magic that inspired them to get into the business in the first place\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and surely that’s a long term goal comics can’t afford to lose or forsake?<\/p>\n
