"...the League never really changes."
We know, Mr. Brad Meltzer, big-time airport novel writer. We get it. We understand that you feel that way.
Thing is, you're dead wrong. The Justice League is more malleable and changing, more adaptable to the needs of its writers and its artists and its readers, than any other superhero team in comics.
You could even say it's what makes the League GREAT. It can be the Grant Morrison Big Seven, the Gardner Fox clubhouse gang, the Giffen/DeMatteis sitcom, even the Steve Englehart lonely hearts club. It's been all those things, and it can be those things, and still be the Justice League.
By capturing the League in a moment of change and freezing it as some stagnant ideal--some imagined, nonexistent fanboy fantasy of what the League SHOULD be--you've hurt the League. YOu can't damage it, Mr. Meltzer, because it's bigger and better than you. But it's been painful, these past twelve issues, watching you indulge your geek wet dreams with first-name basis superhumans and hollow platitudes.
The Justice League is what it does and how it does it. That is how the ideal is created. The past year of this title has been way too much saying and not nearly enough DOING. I'm ready for these heroes to go out and create the next era of the Justice League, and instead, they've been looking at Polaroids and taking six issues to pick a lineup.
The JLofA has been stuck in a rut, Mr. Meltzer, thanks to you. And with this, your final issue, it finally climbs out. And not a moment too soon.
