Justice League of America: The Extremists Review

Finished reading Justice League of America: The Extremists, after having their own spotlight stories writer Steve Orlando puts the newest superhero team of the DC universe against a team of super villains from an alternative universe as their first mission. The book opens with Batman and Killer Frost setting up a base at Happy Harbour as the two begin to recruit Black Canary, Lobo, Atom, The Ray and Vixen as part of a new Justice League. The book then continues with its main story as the team are called together when the inter dimensional team of super villains called the Extremists appear and try and conquer the world by starting with the DC universe version of their leader, Lord Havok's home country Kravia. The final story sees the team opening up their new base for the public when news of Penn City being currently under control of a warmonger know as Nikos Aegeus who has placed the town under under a marshal law as Aegeus is selling weapons from a mansion in the city which is heavily fortified leading to this being an interesting mission for the team. Overall this was a good book as it builds a new Justice League team that focuses more on helping the people than just fighting against an enemy which helps to build on the teams working relationship. The villains of the book are great foils to the new team with the Extremists being able to go one on one with the league and Aegeus' influence on Penn City being more than a fight with him but the people's livelihoods. The artwork of the book is great as the book each is able to transition between each art team extremely well that's to the book's structure and similarities of the different styles within the same story. 7.5/10.
