Very nice Turn of the century JLA story (last century that is). Good art and plot. Recommended

December 27, 2021Another Elseworlds, which means another alternate earth outside DC's main continuity! This one is extremely special.
While having an abundance of somewhat irritating exposition during the first 1/4th of the book, they payoff is well worth it. When events and stakes start picking up, it gets good. And Superman's arch enemy once again provides an interesting interpretation of war and th benefits people in power may reap.
An overall incredible story, though you should be aware of JLA and JSA members going into the book, which will make their cameos interesting and exciting!

A fun steampunk superhero story. Well worth reading if you're a DC fan, and also worth reading if you like steampunk/historical fantasy. The story is easy enough to follow even if you're not overly familiar with the "regular" Justice League or DC comic book characters.

Story was good, loved the art. If you love the turn of the 19th century and imagining the JLA in that time, this is for you. I just felt like a lot was jammed into these 2 books that a six issue miniseries could have really breathed some life into

I love this story. Seeing the way the world would have been of the age of superheroes would have started at the turn of the century.

In this retro WW1 tale Alexander (Lex) Luthor is Superman's villainous adversary, as usual. Traditional Justice League members appear in unusual garb and roles. Some form strange alliances and some perish. Superman puts on the ring and takes on the attributes of Green Lantern to battle the Germans in Europe and save New York from calamity. Writer Adisakdi Tantimedh gives Lex an inventive big bag of tricks to serve his greed and insatiable thirst for power. The art by Galen Showman and Craig Russell is excellent and well suited to the late nineteenth, early twentieth century time period.

This was a great read. Steampunk Justice league? Or rather The League of Science! Loved the dialog, art and everything. I shall recommend it to some of my DC Comics, steampunk fans.

A fun read. I enjoyed the steam punk influences and the way they re-imagined the Justice League.

I like this Elseworlds twist. Kinda gives us a 20th century steampunk-ish rendition of our favorite superheroes.
