Book Review: Justice League Unlimited Vol. 1 by M. Waid et al.

Justice League Unlimited Volume 1: Into the Inferno written by Mark Waid, art by Dan Mora, and colors by Tamra Bonvillain

The Justice League has reformed and includes every meta-human on Earth, earthling or not. They've banded together just in time to face The Inferno, a mysterious organization that is heavily financed, highly powerful, and completely random. They're after South African mines, the Amazon rain forest, and the G20 world leaders. Inferno also manages to get a spy on The Watchtower, a large space station that is the League's headquarters. If that weren't enough problems, recent events in the DC universe have mixed up where meta-humans' superpowers have gone, so the League also has a project trying to return superpowers to their original owners (including members of the JL). 

The story is action-packed and sprawling, just the sort of situation you want for the ultimate superhero team-up. The cast is so huge that it includes characters I have never heard of before. I am not sure if they are old, obscure characters or brand-new ones. Whatever the situation, they are well-developed enough to be interesting, a bit of a trick in a single volume. The whole package is entertaining.

Recommended for DC fans.
