Not worth millions...

This TPB collects a number of issues form a large crossover event a few years back. The biggest problem with this comes from the size of the crossover. There are so many issues to collect here that the TPB designers have had to pick and choose which issues to collect, and we're left with a story that between each issue gives a one-page summary of what happened in the issue that the collectors chose not to include. This leaves the volume with a jumpy feeling, as though the entire story was being told by only half the participants instead of by everyone involved. This might've worked had the designers chosen to release a second volume telling the stories of the other half of the people, but this was never done, leaving the story woefully undertold.

The story is an interesting one, though, contrasting the present-day Justice League with their 853rd century (seriously, I'm not making that up) counterparts, showing the evolution in powers between now and then. The artwork is solid, and there is an excellent use of Vandal Savage, one of my favorite villians. The issue of Resurrection Man 1,000,000 that is included here has a very different feel from the rest of the volume and leaves me quite curious as to what that comic series is like. And I'll even admit that I enjoyed the circular plot of a villian from the future sending plans back to the past causing the heroes to create the villian who would eventually send back the plans (infiinte loops - fun, aren't they?) and Savage setting into motion a plan that would take thousands and thousands of years to come to fruition.

This isn't the finest of the JLA TPBs, and it isn't quite an Elseworlds story, but it's an entertaining, if incomplete, lark.
