Nice Action, But Something's Still Missing

Justice League 13
DC Comics
Geoff Johns, writer
Tony Daniel, artist




This issue got a lot of hype before its arrival because of its shocking revelations about the Cheetah in the DCnU. To be fair, the issue sure is pretty to look at, but I'm not seeing anything all that shocking so far. To my knowledge, the Cheetah, a Wonder Woman foe both in the old DCU and the new, has never gone toe-to-toe with the entire League by herself before, but then this is still a League that doesn't understand or employ the concept of cooperation.

The DCnU Cheetah isn't drastically different in her origin from her old incarnation. She's still Barbara Minerva transformed into a were-beast, and Wonder Woman feels responsible for her condition and redemption. Not a great deal new so far. The story's not over yet, this is just the first part, so we will see if there is more to come.
