"Originally published in single magazine form as DC One million 1-4 -- Green Lantern 1,000,000 -- Starman 1,000,000 -- JLA 1,000,000 -- Resurrection man -- 1,000,000 -- Superman: the man of tomorrow... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Not the original Superman...but DC readers get the drift (I guess). At any rate, the storyline seemed a bit convoluted, however did not detract from the enjoyment of the story. JLA One Million had everything, betrayal, a juggernaut baddie, and the plot twists that we enjoy in superhero adventures. (Plausible spoiler hint); BIG GL fan here (particularly Kyle Raynor, who I can relate to), so this book appealed to me when reading it.
Good read, unclear at times

Great concept for this book, lots of cool hereos are introduced, an d a lot of information is given about the future of the JLA. The book lacks completeness though, at some points when it shifts scenes it will leave you saying what's going on? The description page given beforehand doesn't subsitute for actualy seeing the action. All in all it's a good read, a bit confusing at points, but a good read.
Neat idea for a crossover
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
One of the better ideas for a DC crossover event, at least since "Final Night." Other reviewers have done a better job of reviewing the actual contents than could I; but I did want to take a moment to educate "A Reader"...where do you get your math skills? How do you equate the 853rd Century with "one million years in the future" from the 21st Century? Go back to school, my friend.
Highly recommended

The Justice League of America gets a surprise when they meet a delegation of superheroes from the year 85,271 - the Justice Legion A. It seems that in the 853rd century, they are going to have a celebration welcoming Superman back to the Earth, and they would like the JLA to attend. But, there's more going on than meets the eye, and before its all over, the Justice League and Justice Legion will be facing a peril that may mean the end of some of their numbers! OK, where do I start with this one? This graphic novel tells a really rip-roaring story with lots of action. The storyline was gripping, while the illustration work was excellent. (I hate a graphic novel with poor illustration work.) On the downside, most of the JLA disappears from the middle of the story, leaving second-stringers and the unfamiliar characters of the Justice Legion to fill most of the action. But, that said, this was a great story that I really enjoyed, as did my eleven-year-old son. We both highly recommend this book.
excellent but incomplete
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I collected 3 or 4 of the "one million D.C." comics but missed out on a few key issues (namely the last 3) so when I saw this I had to get it to see how it ended. Yes this book did fill in the gaps, but it did NOT collect all of the one million line. True some of the stories not collected were not crucial to the main plot but they were excellent none the less. I would recomend this book to anyone but after reading it i would also incurage you to try to find the "missing" stories.
