Vibe was really interesting to me though, new to the character, and its a geoff johns book, or was.
 
Nah they still got the regular Justice League book.

Justice League of America is a team put together by the US government, and amanda waller to protect america if the Justice League ever turned on the world.

They picked each member to fight a diff member of the regular Justice League.

Martian Manhunter to take on Superman

Catwoman to Take on Batman

Vibe to take on Flash

Baz (Green Lantern) to take on Hal Jordan

Green Arrow to take on Wonder Woman or aquaman

and theres another character i cant recall. I wanna say Katana or Hawkman, i dont got the book in front of me tho.

No, JLA did get relaunched as Justice League Canada. Adam Strange, Supergirl and some new Canadian female are on the team.

Vibe is ok, but it's done now.

 
It's unreal to me that this is finally coming out. I am now 30 and have been waiting on this series since it was announced back when I was in my mid 20's.

The biggest adventure in DC’s history is here!

Join visionary writer Grant Morrison, today’s most talented artists, and a cast of unforgettable characters from 52 alternative Earths of the known DC Multiverse! Prepare to meet the Vampire League of Earth-43, the Justice Riders of Earth-18, Superdemon, Doc Fate, the super-sons of Superman and Batman, the rampaging Retaliators of Earth-8, the Atomic Knights of Justice, Dino-Cop, Sister Miracle, Lady Quark, the legion of Sivanas, the Nazi New Reichsmen of Earth-10 and the latest, greatest Super Hero of Earth-Prime: YOU!

Comprising six complete adventures – each set in a different parallel universe – plus a two-part framing story and a comprehensive guidebook to the many worlds of the Multiverse, THE MULTIVERSITY is more than just a multipart comic-book series. It’s a cosmos spanning, soul-shaking experience that puts YOU on the frontline in the Battle for All Creation against the demonic destroyers known as the Gentry!

In issue #1, pencilled by superstar artist Ivan Reis (AQUAMAN, JUSTICE LEAGUE), President Superman of Earth-23 uncovers a threat to all Reality so apocalyptic it will take a team of incredible heroes from across the Multiverse to face it – including Captain Carrot, like you’ve never seen him before!

But even with a multitude of alternate worlds to choose from, where every variation is possible, can anyone hope to prevail against the onslaught of ultimate evil and undying hatred – in the unstoppable form of a one-time cosmic defender with unimaginable powers?! Join us, if you dare, for the beginning of THE MULTIVERSITY!
 
It's pretty straight forward. There are multiple versions of the DC characters (Ie: Justice League TAS, Crime Syndicate of Earth 3 from Forever Evil, characters in the Earth 2 book) across the 52 different earths in their comic book universe. Now you get to see some of those worlds and heroes working together.

Granted if you read Final Crisis (where President Superman & Nix Uotan debuted) or even the Action Comics issue with President Superman from 2 years ago you'll get a lot more out of this story. As opposed to someone who's first DC comic came out during the last 3 years; but it's pretty much a stand alone story that will also finally identify all of the earths in the New 52 version of the DC multiverse.

Guys I gotta ask:

Do you feel anything of value has come with the new 52? BEcause.....honestly the shit is still fucking terrible to me.

A few characters are hitting solid points...Wonder Woman IMO is the biggest winner of the reboot. Swamp Thing as well. And ill admit Earth 2 while starting to lose steam, genuinely felt radical and fresh as a reboot. I mean Red Tornado Lois? Thas pretty fucking left field.

But the rest of the DCU is just so...blah. A lot of the quintessential elements of the old DCU are gone and those same elements made alotta the heroes/concepts unique.

For example: Under the pens of Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Joe Kelly, and Brad Meltzer, the Justice League was presented as this larger than life first response superhero team that was the shining achievement of the DC universe.

As far as post millienials Superhero groups go, The Justice League had excellently walked the middle ground between the Authority and the Avengers. They were fighting extra-dimensional, universe spanning threats but at the same time remaining a close knit group bound by this proud tradition of superheroing that had endured for a decade plus in-universe timeline.

Now, Geoff Johns seems to be trying WAYYYYY to hard to humanize the JLA by introducing things like the JLA clashing over petty rifts or the Govt. being anti-JLA and seeking to take them out. These aspects lean far too left on the Marvel house of things.

Events like Forever Evil dont help matters, as the JLA looked absolutely fucking useless during it all. Mind you i'm aware that Forever Evil is the latest iteration in a long standing Johns tradition of making his bad guys look good, but it was salt in already open wound.

TO summarize, the DCU as a whole has been stripped of what made it a unique and vibrant world with the JLA being the most obvious example to me. And for me, there hasnt been a substantial payoff yet to justify tossing everything out.
