Okay. I think that the first story in this TPB may have broken my brain...... (for the record, I haven't seen Memento and don't plan to). It's a story with the flash sorta doing time traveling/memento/groundhog day sorta jumps through time and the Justice League has to figure out why it's happening and how to stop it. There's then a bug infestation on the Watchtower, while Lois and Jonathan are there. Then the League sorta goes up against a pissed off Mera. And I guess she's now part of the League too? Oh, and one of the intense stories was with a guy named Black Shield.

And then there was the final story that's going to lead into bigger things I assume. A talk a villain is having with Batman, while the rest of the League fights what seems like a magic bad guy that makes people into Zombies.

It seemed like a sort of bridge TPB, with a lot of little stories while waiting for a big event. That said, I enjoyed all the stories, and three women on the Justice League team. Can we keep replacing all of the heroes on the team with analogous ladies. I'd be all for that!! Heh.

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of DC Entertainment. ( )

The DC universe has been reborn and The Justice League is back in action. Justice League Vol. 4 (Rebirth) collects issues 20 through 25 of Justice League and is written by Bryan Hitch. There are a few different storylines in this book but the main one focuses on The Flash. With the Justice League dead and Manhattan destroyed the Flash finds himself in a time loop repeating the events that lead to the destruction that he believes he caused. Eventually he gets help from Batman and they are able to solve the mystery as to what happened.

I got this book through Netgalley in exchange for a review and found that it was pretty much what I expected. There is some great art here with some excellent battle scenes and some decent storytelling to tie it together. In particular I liked the two new Green Lanterns and getting into how they feel about the Justice League. My favorite part was towards the end of the book where Batman talks to a villain about the origins of the universe and whether there is a God or not. If you are a fan of the Justice League then you will enjoy this and it will get you in the mood for the movie. ( )
