1. Justice (Alex Ross and Jim Krueger)
For those of you who've been fortunate enough to sample Alex Ross's work, you'll know full well that it's like drinking melted chocolate with your eyeballs. But it's not the sheer beauty of the art that'd be of benefit here of course, but the story itself. Also co-written by Ross, at its core Justice has a fairly simple story - the superhero team vs. the supervillain team - although despite this core simplicity it's the execution, the unique way in which the story is told, that makes it such a treat to behold both visually and textually. For example, several of these villains don't simply attack the Justice League head on but instead endeavour to use their powers to solve the world's greatest problems like hunger and famine, turning public opinion
against the League, who focus on immediate threats and not societal woes. Essentially, this is the kind of thing we want in a Justice League movie; a war of epic proportions between good and evil which directly involves the heavy hitters (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc.) but doesn't patronise its audience with the standard blow for blow showdown.
