Guest review: JUSTICE #2

by Jared Wolf
First off, Alex Ross appears to be at the peak of his artistic abilities. Each individual painted page comes to life and beckons your undivided attention. Forget his outspoken political views and pay attention to what really matters, his paintings. To me he is the Da Vinci of the comic book medium during its own renaissance period. What really drove me to write this was not just the spectacular art or the amazing appearances of The Riddler and Poison Ivy, but instead the emergance of a nesting doll in Riddler's posession. I have collected nesting dolls since I was given my first one by my Hungarian grandmother one frosty Christmas morning years ago. As a matter of fact it was the very nesting doll that The Riddler held, minus the sick riddle within. So if you're not reading JUSTICE because of Ross's political views, read it because nesting dolls rule! No but really this book is great, the art and the going-ons, and especially with the addition of the pencilled sketches by Ross complimented by profiles on the featured villians taken directly from Batman's private files.

The Wolfman has howled.
