Justice League: Generation Lost, Vol. 2

This is the second and final volume of the 24-issue maxi-series JLA Generation Lost . This goes back to a version of the Justice League that was created in the 1980s by J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire. This was an incarnation where the justice league was mostly composed of secondary heroes and the general mood was sit-commy. In this new outing, one of the main members of that league has gone bad and wants to change the world, using many of the heroes from that incarnation to do so. Simultaneously, he made the world forget who he is and that he ever existed. It is the heroes' job to revert this and stop him. Unlike its inspiration source, this is a fairly gritty and humourless comic, where drama and super-heroing take the centre stage. If you like super-heroes and the JLA, there are worst things that you can do than read this book. Both the writing and the drawing are competent.
