Justice League Unlimited: New Series Faces High Creative Expectations
CBR is examining the pressure cooker Justice League Unlimited found itself in after Mark Waid and Dan Mora's massive success with Superman/Batman: World's Finest. The series came back from a hiatus and hit the ground running with strong critical reception and fan favorites in the roster. But with that goodwill comes expectation—Waid and Mora have set a ridiculously high bar for themselves, and the new series has to clear it. It seems the creative team knows they're operating under a nearly impossible standard.
ComicsBuzz Take
Waid's proven he can write sprawling ensemble books before, but the Superman/Batman success might actually work against Justice League Unlimited—every issue will be compared to that run's heights, which is unfair but inevitable.
💬 Fan Reactions
"Waid can do it. He's one of the few writers who gets the JL mythology"
