Justice League #7 brings on two new arcs this month, the first official storyline for the newly formed Justice League, and each issue from here on until further notice will feature a storyline for SHAZAM! as well.So now that our initial storyline for the Justice League is over, where does Geoff Johns take us? Let's take a look into what issue #7 has to offer.
[SPOILERS BELOW]
Justice League #7 brings us into the next major arc, which everyone must be wondering what it will be. We don't know if the story will introduce more members, less members, a big villain, internal struggle- we just don't know. Well, when you're done with the issue, you have an idea to say the least.
The Justice League, as a concept, begin to stir the public thoughts. There are several accusations that a police force or government is no longer necessary, as the Justice League can clearly handle anything. Enter John Trevor, the boyfriend of Wonder Woman and public liaison to the Justice League. We see him talking with the courts and the public to calm their thoughts on several occasions. What we also see is that the Justice League clearly trusts this guy, as they each communicate with him while Wonder Woman has a Skype conversation with him. Why Skype you say? Well that's the other big reveal in this issue- the floating station in orbit above Earth is back! We get to see the new League talk and interact in a relaxed state, and as you can see from the image to the right that there may be a few bits of tension or playful banter already developing.
That's about all you're going to get out of this issue, as the only other reveal is a small unrevealed villain conversation about using John Trevor to defeat the Justice League. Overall it is a really good story to blend the two arcs together and provide a nice steady transition. Not too slow, not to fast, just the way it needs to be.
But wait- There's more! At the end of this issue, as I already mentioned, SHAZAM! makes an appearance. Previously, Shazam was not going to be in the new universe beginning with the New 52. However, it seems we are getting SHAZAM! back in action, with mini-issues in the back of Justice League. This issue reveals Billy Batson, a boy who has been to many foster homes and somehow has screwed them all up. He has found a new pair of parents, and while he hasn't moved in with them yet, he's made it clear he doesn't want to be where he currently is. The issue ends with a montage of future screen shots, all leading to Billy Batson eventually becoming SHAZAM!
Get the issue. I don't think there's going to be a single issue of this series that you'll be ok in skipping. Just get it, enjoy it, and look forward to next month. Every. Single. Time.
