Better than the Black Dossier debacle. Not as good as the original books, partly because the members of the League are pretty blah this time. Can we get some personalities here? Storywise, I'm not sure what the point was. While I know that this is part 1 in a trilogy, it should still feel like it moved the narrative forward. Instead, it pretty much said at the end, "Oh, silly us, the story doesn't happen until NEXT time."
