Containing the “The People vs The Justice League” arc compiled from issues #34-#39 of Justice League Rebirth, DC’s latest version of their hero faction has Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and co. being viewed in negative light after a botched attempt at stopping a robbery. Having to deal with multiple threats including a Batman who was lacking sleep, our heroes must deal with the threats while keeping their good name in check.

The Justice League faces one of their greatest opponents in Volume 6; public perception.

THE GOOD: The people are starting an uprising against the very group saving them and the Justice League must fight to keep their name in the good graces of the people of Earth. After a botched robbery, the League is blamed for the death of a nun and a cover-up is clearly in place from the police involved with the operation. At the forefront of The Justice League’s newfound lack of good faith from the people is Batman. Having suffered from sleep deprivation, he ultimately blames himself for the nun’s death, and it doesn’t take long for the people of Earth, and even his colleagues to feel the same way.

The Justice League take on the public as an external battle for their reputation ensues, meanwhile an internal struggle with Batman as the head of the Justice League begins.

Volume six has a pretty complex story with the thought being “should the Justice League be policed?”. Cyborg makes a good point about the Justice League essentially being super-powered volunteers & first responders, but with superheroes collateral damage and the fact that not everyone can be saved simultaneously will always be an unfortunate circumstance. Batman taking responsibility for most of the team’s image problem was hard to watch, especially when you consider he’s pretty much the only Leaguer without powers. The writing and action of this arc is some of the best I’ve ever seen from a DC story, and admittedly I haven’t really spent as much time as I should would the Rebirth line, but if this is an example of DC’s current continuity run in full, then I’m ready to hop on board full-time.

The People vs The Justice League is a new arc full of promise, focus, and action.

THE BAD: Nothing in particular.

DC Comics provides fans with a new reason to give the Rebirth line a go.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: With only 30+ chapters under it’s belt, if you’ve been holding back on jumping in with DC Rebirth, Justice League gives you plenty to work with. Full of excellent writing, a compelling story, and fun action, “The People vs The Justice League” is a great entry point into a booming relaunch. Otaku Dome gives Justice League Volume 6: The People vs The Justice League an 88 out of 100.
