I wasn't a fan of Volume One in large part because of Geoff
Johns weak attempt at trying to write like Joss Whedon. Not sure
if that's his niche given the fact that what I have read of
Johns, I have not liked at all and tend to skip most of the
other things he does write. So, I went into Justice League, Vol.
2: The Villain's Journey with the mindset that it was going to
be more of the same. Well, I can say that Volume 2 is marginally
better than the first output, but I still really don't care for
his writing at all and the same can be said for the story. No
need to bog you down with the plot other than that it was
written and read as a potential blueprint for a Hollywood movie.
So, what about the art? The bulk of that falls on Jim Lee. There
were a couple of fill in issues handled by other artist and this
freed Jim to spend a little more time on his pages and give us
better rendered pencils. The extra time spent on his stuff shows
just how much he had to rush to get Issues 1-6 out the door.
Volume Two just looks better all around. I just wish I could say
the same about the writing. The book is really only for Jim Lee
fanboys. Beyond that, I would Skip this as there is nothing
memorable about it.
