'JLA' Volume 2: 'American Dreams

You can read my review here.



Pros

- The Tomorrow Woman story arc is a simple, but poignant tale.

- The second story is rather large in scope, showing the forces of Heaven attempting to destroy Earth.  It's a threat that puts even the combined might of the Justice League on their heels.

- Some interesting "elseworld" concepts are incorporated


Cons


- Rather than tell one story, this book contains several smaller stories.  It makes for a more disjointed read.

- Said point also leads to pacing problems as the stories don't have as much room to develop as ones that span 6 or more issues.




Overall


If you're collecting the series in trade, this collects the next batch of issues.  It's a short, fast read; however, the fact that it contains multiple stories makes it less immersive and results in even more pacing issues than its predecessor had.  Still, the stories each have their own benefits, so it's worth checking out.
