Review From a Future Critic

This book has an excellent story about the forming of the League. This story is about aliens based off the White Martians, while other origin stories have been about Starro the Conquerer or the Appelexians. In this League, Aquaman has been replaced by Hawkgirl, Hal Jordan by John Stewart, and Barry Allan by Wally West, who's even been given a different personality. This book has the same story as Justice League Episode One: Secret Origins a.k.a. Justice League: The Movie.

A great audio treat

I didn't know what to expect when buying this audiobook. However, upon discovering it had to do with Batman and other super heroes I decided to give it a chance. Being an audiobook junkie I always longed for a book with a super hero such as the ones I grew up with watching on Saturday morning television. Well, this book delivers with a bang! Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and a bunch of other lesser known heroes are here fighting for peace and justice. In this first installment, an Alien race has landed on Earth and its up to the super heroes to save the day. A great audio production. Its produced by the same folks who are making the Jedi Quest books into audio as well so there are plenty of sound effects and sound enhancements to really add to the story. Its action and more action all the way and although its primarily for young teen agers as a 35 year old man I found myself glued to my stereo eagerly listening to see what happens next. All the super heroes working together to fight a common enemy makes for one exciting story. I am so glad there are six books in the series I will soon order book 2. Hopefully there will be more in the future. Highly recommended for comic book fans or fans of super heroes. This book contains two CDs and includes sound effects and incidental music along with the narration.

JUSTICE LEAGUE RULZ!!
