DC's previous batch of Justice League: Gods and Monsters comics explored the origins of the Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman of this dark alternate universe. This new mini-series focuses on the team as a whole and the events that brought these three heroes together. There's potential in this more long-from prequel, but this first issue is too disjointed and visually bland to really impress.
J.M. DeMatteis sets the story at an odd time in the sense that there's a lot of implied history among the three heroes already, so the appeal of seeing them butt heads for the first time isn't there. There's not a great deal of impetus to the conflict in general. This issue sets up a conflict involving a new take on the Forever People concept but doesn't do much to escalate it or build to an eventual Justice League team-up. The three heroes only occasionally cross paths in this first issue. As a whole, this issue simply doesn't have a strong sense of focus.
