Where it came from
Published in 2003, JLA #88 serves as a pivotal installment in the 'The Obsidian Age' storyline, a sprawling narrative arc that saw the Justice League travel back in time to ancient Atlantis. This era of the series was defined by writer Joe Kelly, who sought to deconstruct the team's internal dynamics by placing them in desperate, high-stakes scenarios that challenged their traditional roles and moral certitude.
The issue features artwork by Doug Mahnke, whose dynamic and gritty illustrative style became a hallmark of the title during the early 2000s. Mahnke's approach was intended to heighten the sense of historical scale and visceral conflict, moving away from the more idealized aesthetics of previous incarnations. Upon its release, the issue was well-received by fans of the modern era of the Justice League, noted for its balance of dark, complex storytelling and impactful character-driven action.
