5.0 out of 5 stars JLA highlight, 16 May 2002
This is the closest Morrison came to the stunning brilliance of the invisibles during his run on JLA and should be recommended to fans of his weirder stuff. The storyline of this is almost ludicrously convoluted, involving time travel, the New Gods, a new injustice gang, the philosophers' stone, evil versions of the league and countless other elements of the DC universe. Reading this monthly as originally published I admit to being baffled but on reading the story as a whole I was blown away by Morrison's ability to juggle so many disparate elements and give the illusion that the DC universe is logical and fits together cohesively - as if it is "right" that the speed force, GL rings and Greek Gods exist together.
If you want a simple superhero comic go somewhere else; if you want a challenge, read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great JLA story, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock of Ages (JLA (DC Comics Numbered)) (Paperback)
A story best read in one sitting, "Rock of Ages" is complex. sometimes confusing, but the pay off is fantastic. Morrison continues to impress with his story-telling. Confused? Read it again. Great stuff... Check out Morrison's "Animal Man" for more strange adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent time travel story, 19 Dec 2006
This review is from: Rock of Ages (JLA (DC Comics Numbered)) (Paperback)
These were originally published as JLA #10-#15.

The story throws a few large curves in the beginning. The unexpected part of the Justice League is that all of the characters have their own story lines, so major events like Wonder Woman dying and Superman turning into pure energy contained in a blue and white suit happen outside of the JLA stories. But having Aztec join the JLA in his own story, not in a JLA story is asking a bit much of the reader (at least he has the grace to leave the JLA in a JLA story!). This should have been handled in the flow, kind of like the old Green Arrow's son taking over his place when the JLA fought the Key.

The other major twist is that the plot starts out as a battle with the newly formed Lex Luthor brainchild The Injustice Gang. This would have been quite ho-hum IMHO. I am quite happy that it took a mind-bending turn into back and forth time travel and multiple-dimensions, in a story worthy of our heroes. The ending of the story is a little forced, but the storyline gives the members many situations to show who they are beneath their powers, which is what makes the League a great book.

Our favorite panels: my son's is page 129, an excellent sketch of J'onn, Superman and Batman with Plasticman in the background. Mine is page 50, Bruce Wayne and Robin in the batcave, with Bruce, mask off, half way being Bruce and halfway being Batman.
