Summary: Grant Morrison is getting better...
Comment: This is Vol. 2 following "JLA: New World Order". Grant Morrison seems to be making a little bit more sense. He still doesn't explain the action and events. We just have to withhold our disbelief and have faith without understanding what is happening. This book contains two stories; one concerning Zauriel the angel and the other concerning a villan named The Key who I think I'm supposed to know, but frankly I can't place. This is not Zauriel as I know him. Here's a quote of his from this book: "...Asmodel? Sure, he'll be back. He'll use flesh-suits next time, I'll probably kill him, there'll be courtoom dramas in Heaven, and in the end none of it matters, so why can't we all just be nice and have babies? That's my pathetic prayer every night before I go to sleep. I can't thank you people enough." Flesh-suits? Courtroom dramas? Be nice and have babies? Is this the way angels speak? And as for The Key... It's short and makes reasonable sense... but Grant Morrison could spend a bit more time on plot, story, and character development... and less time on posteuring.

Summary: Sweet Dream!
Comment: Grant Morrison can pen some cool tales, and while these aren't his best, their are quite good and clever? The three stories (from JLA #5-9) include a new JLA member, a plague of angels and the JLA saving the day... which will give one villain ultimate power.
In the first tale Professor Ivo and T. O. Morrow create the Tomorrow Woman: a superhero to infiltrate the JLA and destroy it. But T. O. Morrow's plan might not be what anyone expects and may save the day. A great tale about personal [word not in vocabulary].
Then the Zauriel, the Angel of love is found on the run from other angels? What do they want and why are they trying to level a city to get it? Only the JLA can stop these evil cherubs but with the arrival of Asmodel all hope seems lost. If that wasn't enough Flash is trapped in a teleport and Superman is stuck on the moon, trying to stop it from crashing into the Earth courtesy of Neuron? How can all of these problems be solved? Within two issues no less?
Finally the JLA gets home and prepares for the arrival of Green Arrow when they are all knocked out by the Key. The enlightened madman puts the JLA through mental interpretations of alternate realities. Appearently, when they all figure out it ain't real, the Key will be able to conquer the universe. Only Conner Hawke and his dad's goofy trick arrows can save they day! The story is as strange as it sounds and it's great!
Grant Morrison is obviously having a lot of fun with these stories and finally giving the JLA worthy foes. Check it out!

Summary: full action, full strength, but too short
Comment: lots of fun , lots of action , with little or less to complain about :
first story : is about the new pizaro , a lovely woman chapped called "Tomorrow Woman" made by pizaro's maker & another , to destroy the JLA , but with a twist as the machine prove to be alive .
the second story : as superman use all his resources to prevent the moon from going out of orbit while the rest fight the king of angles to save he X-Angle azreal the newest super hero of earth . stupid I know , but never the less a full action story .
lastly but not least the Mad man who took control of the moon taking offer the JLA with one blow , controlling them with their dreams and with using their resources almost becomes the Master of the universe only to be stopped by the JLA youngest members the green arrow and Flash .
really every story of them is wonderful by its own , but the three of them where to short , specially the first one , I really would've liked if Tomorrow Woman was to face the JLA & lose , at least that would be something to see , and that was the missing star in my book
