Summary: Gets funnier with every book
Comment: I loved the JLI when it was funny. Especially Blue & Gold. This series really picks up by the end of this collection and only gets better as it goes, reaching it's peak by the time Blue & Gold try to build a resort on Kooey Kooey Kooey! Ah wish they would just collect the entire series in a HC collection. I know I would buy it.
It's almost impossible to believe that Giffen and DeMatteis could put so many jokes without having to recycle them. Check out their latest book too: Formerly Known As the Justice League (5 Stars) and I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League (3 Stars).
Worth it if you like your comics to be witty and funny.

Summary: JLA gets a sense of humor
Comment: Wow, the other reviewer just didn't get it.
In the mid 80s JLA came back with a bunch of second and third string super heroes, and they could only be viewed with a skewered and wry eye. These were funnybook heroes, being funny.
Giffen and DeMateis were masters of the quick wit and sometimes down right silliness that filled these pages. Aided by super star artist Kevin Maguire, who made every facial tick shine to the height of comic interpretation.
This was great stuff. I fell in love with this off pace series, which was a nice relief in the angst ridden 80s comics.
PIck up any of these issues and books for a good fun and often goofy time.
