![]() I looked into more of Hitch’s work on Justice League, and my favorite story is a multi-issue drama where a legendary Kryptonian god named Rao comes to Earth with wonderful gifts and apparently benevolent purposes. If you can kick back and enjoy the spectacle without overthinking it too much, if you’d love to see the Justice League in a cosmic-level battle drenched in glorious color and eye-popping art, give Heaven’s Ladder a shot. But I can’t believe that the moon would be waiting for Earth when it got back. But what about the moon? I can suspend my disbelief to think a giant spaceship took Earth away, even without the ship being crushed into a sphere by its own massive gravity. Worse, the Earth is removed from its orbit and *spoiler alert* gets put back in place at the end. For example, a bunch of planets are held in place by some kind of hand-waving gravity thingies, but if planets were really as close to each other as depicted, their gravities would rip each other apart. ![]() ![]() Plus, Waid’s use of “science” concepts conveniently ignores plenty of science in service of the plot. Thanks for the exposition, Atom! Where we would we be without you? ![]()
