This book is just so incredibly average that it comes off as sub-part compared to some of the other more excellent books currently coming out. The artist seems to have a real big problem drawing lips, a minor grievance, but one I noticed none the less. Its not even especially well drawn, there are some messy bits and some unpolished bits, so I can not even say that was competently done. It works, but there is nothing unique about it. Throughout the explanation they name drop things such as “mother box” and “boom tube” which, while familiar to old comic fans, could easily be another wall of alienation to a new reader who was just reading this for the first time. I got the impression he cannot show up on cameras and can shoot inter-dimensional vibration blasts, but it would be nice to get a slightly more concrete explanation. The problem is that it is presented in just walls of boring text, and that despite all this exposition we are never told exactly what Vibe’s powers are. They tell him the origin of his powers, that Detroit is now the new gateway to the multiverse, and basically all the other necessary information the reader will need for the rest of the series. There is even a shadowy government organization, called A.R.G.U.S., that basically spells out everything that is going on for to the main character. It has the cliche of the protagonist’s origin, and really entire motivation for being a hero, being tied to the tragic death of a family member. Justice League of America’s Vibe #1 is the most mediocre, and typical, first issue for a superhero comic I have ever read. Does Vibe hold up on his own? Find out after the jump! It was probably to appease the great power that is Major Spoiler’s very own Matthew Peterson, seeing as how he and Geoff Johns are the only people with fond memories of him. Yeah, I don’t know why they brought him back either. You know, Vibe, from the old Justice League Detroit comic, or from the currently running Justice League of America comic. Another offering from DC’s New 52 (though its getting quite old) this time its Vibe.
