JLA 3000
Justice League 3000 is a futuristic look at a Justice League in the 31st century. Right off the bat, this is a book that appeals to fans of sci-fi stories, and serves as a good mix of superhero sci-fi action.
In a world of microchip implants, otherworldly teleportation, and corrupt genetic scavenging, the Justice League does what they do best. But this is a Justice League unlike the one found in the present day titles. Each member is cloned from genetic materials from their modern day counterparts, and while they might retain some memories and powers, they certainly haven't retained the personalities of the old heroes. It's an interesting look at our favorite characters had they not been brought up in the present day.
Bruce never dealt with his parents death, and so his motivation to fight crime isn't as strong. Clark didn't have the affection of the Kents, and so he grew up arrogant and smug. Justice League 3000 revolves around an infectious hive-mind virus that's sweeping through universes, but the real conflict takes place within the team. Regardless, it doesn't feel like a senseless "heroes vs heroes" book, but rather this internal conflict appears to be leading into something much bigger.
It'll be interesting to see which other members are added to the league, as well as learning the details behind the origin of the league. We know they're cloned from genetic samples, but what were the motives for doing so, and for whom was the project meant to serve? The creative team of Giffen, DeMatties and Porter do a good job with the title, pacing it well and keeping it rather action packed. There are quite a number of subplots occurring in Justice League 3000, so readers have a lot to think about after reading this one.
All in all, Justice League 3000 is a good addition to the Justice League books, and it's actually nice that it doesn't tie into the present day stories. The $2.99 price tag also helps if you're looking to jump into a Justice League title that's a little less expensive than the usuals. Justice League 3000 is a fun read overall and recommended for this week's reads.

NEW COMICS DECEMBER 11th
The Amazing Spider-Man weekly continues with issues #700.2 and #700.3. I have to admit I liked the first chapter, it was nice to have a heroic Spider-Man story to read.
We get 3 Justice League books this week, one of them is the new Justice League 3000 #1. Are these the heroes we know and love thrown into the future somehow..or sons and daughters of the originals?
The Legends of the Dark Knight Special is a big 100 pager full of stuff previously seen only on line digitally. Looks like a great deal for $9.99.
Inhumanity gets its first spin-off with Awakening by Matt Kindt. Sounds like a continuation of his Infinity mini-series about the kids of the various super-hero schools.

INHUMANITY
Inhumanity #1 is a one-shot that transitions the Marvel Universe from the Infinity event into the new Inhumanity event. Inhumanity #1 is written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Oliver Copiel.
Inhumanity #1 gives us a solid recap of the end of Infinity, and shows us the aftermath of the Terrigen Bomb. The entire issue serves as both a recap and a foreshadowing extravaganza. It's clear that a lot of the cryptic information provided in Inhumanity #1 is going to be addressed in the future. Fraction does a good job with the book as he veers away from the lighthearted, witty tones found in Hawkeye and FF, and gives us something with a little more darkness and weight. The art by Copiel is fantastic as always.
Inhumanity #1 was supposed to be followed by a new ongoing called Inhumans, which has been pushed from January to April. That's a big gap to fill for an event that's already started. In the meantime, there are a few other one-shots that will be released. Inhumanity: Medusa and Inhumanity: Superior Spider-Man are two one-shot titles that will be out shortly, and some other ongoings will tie into the event. Those books are slated for December and January, so it's fair to assume that more tie-ins and one shots will be announced to fill the gap until Inhumans #1 is out in April. Marvel will no doubt be scrambling to make sure the event doesn't fall flat.
Regardless of the delay, Inhumanity #1 delivers a good look at the history of the Inhumans and their role in human evolution within the Marvel Universe. It's a little like the Earth X series that was released years ago. It will be interesting to see a Marvel Universe with new unknown heroes and villains, and it'll more than likely present some fresh new characters. Another interesting aspect will be just how the Terrigen Mist has affected regular citizens - how unwanted powers can change everything about you, from your physical appearance to your daily schedule. Basically, we'll get a look at regular people afflicted with powers and transformations.
Inhumanity #1 is a good foray from Infinity to Inhumanity. This extra-sized issue, which includes a poster featuring upcoming covers, is also a good value for the standard Marvel cover price.

NEW COMICS DECEMBER 4th
Amazing Spider-Man #700.1 starts off a 4-issue weekly look back at Peter Parker as Spider-Man.
Avengers Annual delivers a Christmas story by Kathryn Immonen.
The Hulk Annual is by regular writer Mark Waid and guest-stars Iron Man.
Marvel spins off the event Infinity with the launch of Inhumanity. I'm still confused myself on whether this is the start of a series or a one-shot and how it works with the Inhumans #1 that has been cancelled and is due to be relisted some time next year.
Garth Ennis gives us something a little different with Rover,Red,Charlie. A post-apocalyptic comic from the viewpoint of 3 dogs living through the end days.
