Maythavee's Reviews > Jla: League of One

A League of One is must read comic book for Wonder Woman fans. The story focuses on Wonder Woman and the mythical notion of fate. Upon receiving a prophecy which foretold the League’s death at the hands of a dragon monster, Diana sets out to destroy the monster on her own to save the lives of her friends/teammates.

Batman might be the one with contingency plans to take out the League but Wonder Woman is on another level here. She subdued the League (with a little help from her Nereid and Nymph friends) and distracted Superman long enough for her to deal with the dragon monster. She was a force of nature and it was magnificent to see.

I loved that this story also explored Diana’s relationship with Truth. She can lie and deceive others but it goes against her nature and it hurts her deeply. No one is more hurt by her actions to ‘betray’ the League than Diana herself. She believed she had no choice so she did what had to done. What I love about her is that Diana would make the same choice again, if it meant saving her friends.

I can’t review the story without mentioning the artwork. The gorgeous art helped to elevate the story to another level!
