Suicide Squad and even Aquaman. Yet as I looked at the shelf I haven&#8217;t seen much talk about this current Justice League series. I&#8217;m not the biggest fan of this title but when Hitch writes an entertaining script but it seems that this book isn&#8217;t captivating readers as much as I thought it would. Before this book enters crossover limbo let&#8217;s see how Hitch ends 2016 with the Justice League. Warning there will be spoilers going forward you have been warned.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One of my bigger criticisms with this series is that the Justice League haven&#8217;t worked as a single unit yet. When I read a Justice League comic part of the appeal is seeing how these various heroes combine their talents and powers and work as a team. Thankfully this issue Bryan Hitch gives me my wish as we see the League working in tandem, he also doesn&#8217;t sacrifice giving each member of the League their own moments, it&#8217;s a great balance between the two. One minor problem I had with this issue was that Jame&#8217;s daughter was kidnapped and Batman told him that the League will look after his kids only for James to reply &#8220;like they did my wife&#8221; seems to off putting to me, plus it really doesn&#8217;t go anywhere. Perhaps Hitch plans to revisit this plot thread at some point down the road.<\/p>\n<p>There is little to no plot with this issue, as it&#8217;s one gigantic fight scene featuring some the best Z-list villains of the DCU. Hitch understands how to write a an epic action sequence, considering his experience on Ultimates he knows what works and what doesn&#8217;t work. Granted most of the credit for this issue falls to Neil Edwards and I know I&#8217;m repeating myself but someone is giving notes to these artists and tells them to draw and layout their comics like Hitch, it&#8217;s uncanny how often this is happening and so far Neil Edwards with this issue is the one nearest to that might Hitch brass ring.<\/p>\n<p>My only real problem is that this story line just ends, and that&#8217;s most likely due to the next issue ties into the Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad event, but I would have like some hint of a plot point that will be brought back in 2017 but alas nothing. Justice League #11 was a balls to the walls great action oriented comic book, Neil Edwards should stay on as the main series artist ( I doubt that happens though).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Justice League #11<\/em> earns a 3\/5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I don&#8217;t know about you dudes, but this week in particular it seemed that the Justice League we&#8217;re all over the DCU from this book to the first Rebirth event Justice League Vs.
