HUNDRED WORD HIT - JUSTICE LEAGUE SPECIAL #3
JLA Annual #1 by Brian Augustan & Ariel Olivetti
Did three hunters really stop an alien invasion? The League don’t think there’s anything to investigate but J’onn J’onzz thinks something is off
Shifting into a human form, J’onzz becomes Martin Smith a UN Alien Invasion Investigator and heads off to Hadley in the Cascade Mountains to follow his hunch
Augustyn completely nails the feel of a pulp detective novel not only through the prose elements but also introducing the femme fatale and the way the story plays out to its inevitable reveal.
This Pulp Heroes theme annual makes a refreshing change to the usual super-heroics. Worth a look.
Rating 7.5 out of 10
