The graphic novel "Justice League A Midsummer's Nightmare" is a good book to read and I enjoyed the writing as well as the graphic art style that used. I gave the book five stars because it's well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's really "JUSTICE" for all!
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2000
JUSTICE LEAGUE: A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHTMARE accomplished what I wanted it to do, re-establish the true core of the Justice League of America. Originally purchased in the mini-series format, it combines the Super Seven against Doctor Destiny to unwrap the loopy world they have been all trapped on. Definitely for the hard-core JLA fan, of which I am. This version of the team is the best one out of the three that have existed so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting story that is the set up for the many years of GREAT Justice League comics that would follow.

Let me just start by saying that I'd have given this a 4.5 out of 5 stars if that option were available! That being said, this was a GREAT find and addition to my Justice League collection. It is the set up story of the events that lead to the formation of the Justice League of the mid to late 90's. In a VERY 'Avengers' moment, the team discovers that they have been brought together to fight a threat that none of them could have handled alone. And not to give away too many spoilers, but it sets up a MAJOR storyline that will play into the later Justice League volumes.
The story itself starts slow, though there is no problem with that in my opinion. It's a slow start, but a good one nonetheless. By the middle and end, it's become a rip roaring Justice League adventure like those we will become used to seeing. If there was one flaw with the book, in my humble opinion, it's that I didn't find the art as tight and detailed as I would have liked. In many places, it was very sketchy. Which is all good and fine if you like that sort of thing. It didn't detract from the overall story, and I think that it what really counts here. Grant Morrison does the intro to this book, which is fitting, since he'd go on to do a years long run on the newly launched Justice League comics. This book immediately leads into the following books:
 JLA, Vol. 1
JLA, Vol. 2 (Deluxe Edition)
JLA, Vol. 3 Deluxe Edition
JLA Deluxe Edition Vol. 4
It should be stated that while this is a 4 to 4.5 star intro to that series, each of those books receives a RESOUNDING five stars with bells and whistles. I'll do reviews on them later, but for now, if you're looking to start reading the JLA of the mid 90's, then this is the book that started it all. Give it a try folks, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Thanks for your time. Sincerely, R.A. McDowell

3.0 out of 5 stars Heavy on promise...short on delivery

This is one of those stories that starts really well but doesn't end well. The world is full of "normal" people bequethed with super powers and those who should have super powers have no memory of their past. The writing is tight and the story compelling. Why three stars? The adversary to our heroes is poorly thought out--dare I say stupid (stupid origin, stupid powers, stupid motivations). When the master plan was finally revealed I was left thinking THAT's IT! It seemed contrived. It was a perfect buildup to nothing. This was a good concept that failed to be big enough in scope. I would buy it if you are really into the Justice League. There are good moments for all of the cast, but if there are other stories you could buy first--please do. I don't regret buying this as I am a fan of the genre. I'm simply disappointed with where this story might have went.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2007
The Justice League of America have to contend with the fact that they are now powerless, in a world where a whole lot of other people now have usper powers. Obviously something is not right, and they have to go about finding out what is going on.

This is all tied up with the horrific abilities of Doctor Destiny.

3.0 out of 5 stars Justice Leaguers Forget, Then Remember, Who They Are
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2009
"Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare" is somewhat of a bore. I read it after loving JLA: Year one & Crisis On Infinite Earths, but there isn't anything in this title to love, it's all for the most part, very forgettable. The art is crappy, the storyline isn't riveting, it just is what it is.

A nonlinear story that can get confusing if you are unaware of the JLA. I thought it was a little hard to follow a times with all of it's "wild" layout.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good classic
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 1999
You get to see what the most famous superheroes are like without powers. You get to see an exaggerated version of their burdens. You get to see what the Martian Manhunter's life was like before he came to Earth. You'll laugh at Wally West (Flash) and Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern). My favorite part is at the end, when you get to read a little info about each superhero, and the part he or she plays in the Justice League. It's fascinating.
