The Epic and Excellent, conclusion to the Darkseid War. Great art work, and epic story worthy of all the characters used in the comics. DC's big guns are all here. Everyone is used brilliantly, not only was I more than satisfied with the awesome story but it also left just the right amount of loose threads for the to build on their own books. It all started in Forever evil with the name of the Anti-Monitor not the most fear provoking name in comics, but actions speak louder than words. This is the being that sent the Crime Syndicate running from their own dimension anyone with that kind of power is to be feared. Then in volume 1 of the Darkseid War he did the unthinkable and actually killed Darkseid. Using the thing that Darkseid himself converted the most the Anti-life equation. What does the now most powerful mass murdering being in the multiverse, do after killing his greatest rival? Destroy everything and everyone else of course. This is a great story, excellent artwork and even character development and of course lots of action. There are many reversals, betrayals, and power up and down grades. All in all one of the best comic conclusions since Forever Evil. The only thing I would have changed is I would have put the first issue of this series in the last issue so it flowed better with the Power of the Gods TPB just so it flowed better. However I loved both volumes of the Darkseid War, just way the one shots were released put a tiny dip in the story arc as a whole. One again a great volume and epic conclusion.

There is a scene near the end of Darkseid War where multiple characters use a newborn super-powered baby as a death ray, waving it around so it blasts people to ash with its laser eyes.

Darkseid War, the payoff to fifty issues of scheming and pouting from Johns' Justice League cast, is a muddle of clenched jaws, splash pages, meaningless conflict and rotating super-powers. It's self-important to an extreme, an incoherent slugfest, ten issues of one-time icons shouting at one another about how high the stakes are. Nothing sticks. Even Johns' gifts for manipulation desert him - emotional throughlines, like Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, turn into false trails. Fittingly it all leads into DC Rebirth - this noisy, banal retread of better stories is a good tombstone for the New 52 era. View all 3 comments.

This second half of the story begins with two issues beautifully illustrated by Francis Manapul which act as a bridge between the two major acts of the story; the Power of the Gods collection which includes all the one-shots about the Justice League and their new god-like abilities takes place between these two issues, if you're trying to fit everything in. Then we get back to business for a few issues as the Justice League turn to their enemies for aid as the Anti-Monitor and Grail target them for death, and the only ones who can stop them are the Injustice League. It sounds hectic, but Johns always makes sure that everything makes sense, and if you're fans of these characters and what Johns has been doing with them, it's wonderful to behold. Also collected hopefully, since this review is out a week before the book actually hits the stands is the Darkseid War special, which contains the origin of Grail, as well as the fruition of her current plot before she pops back up in the main series. Just goes to show how much story Geoff Johns had to tell, since it bled out into this issue as well as the main Justice League book. I cannot heap enough praise on the artist for the rest of the Darkseid War, Jason Fabok, who is absolutely brilliant. He has a perfect sense of proportion, and his artwork always pops off the page. Brad Anderson's colours only enhance the work Fabok does, and I am so glad such a good artist got to draw such a event-scale storyline. He's definitely one to look out for in the future. Geoff Johns brings his Justice League run to a triumphant close with the final half of the Darkseid War, perfectly pencilled, cleverly executed, and jaw-droppingly brilliant. Comic book storytelling at it's finest. Jun 07, Chris rated it it was amazing Shelves: dc-comics.

This is by far the darkest Justice League book I've read at this point. Darkseid is bad enough, but if he had offspring with a disgraced Amazon, you can imagine how bad that would turn out. Everyone of the JL has serious issues, and there are some fatalities. So much happens, and it's been a while since I read this, so I'm going by my memory. It was very good, lots of action, very dark as I said earlier. I really like how the Crime Syndicate from Earth One shows up. They are so deliciously twist This is by far the darkest Justice League book I've read at this point. They are so deliciously twisted. I think Geoff Johns is a good writer. He draws you into the story and his writing melds well with the art. Sometimes I get lost trying to interpret what the panels are doing in some books. I didn't feel that way with this one, even with all the drama that's going on. A lot of big surprises in this one, and some really great cameos. Unlikely heroes show up, and the big dependable heroes seem humbled in this. I would recommend it, despite the fact that it's very chaotic in some ways.

Oh, this book series started off so well, and then it nose dived into a heart breaking, death dealing, universe changing and moderately blasphemous quagmire that pretty much does nothing but shackle the "Rebirth" with baggage worthy of an albatross. Oh, I am so glad the "New 52" is dead. Jul 01, Quentin Wallace rated it really liked it.

Don't read if you haven't read it. This is NOT a review. This is me ranting about this bullshit. Lots of shit happening. As I said Here's the thing And I can't. Anyway, I was willing to play the Forgive Ah.. Seriously, from the moment it starts since Part 1, previous volume Wonder Woman especially and some others too, are all like "Someone is going to die here", "this is the end, but at what cost? A Life", "Black Racer is here, and for him to be gone, he needs to take a life", "Anti-Monitor is more than a God, we're going to die".. And then. Lots of shit happen. Someone dies. More than one. Lots of bad guys die too. Characters we just got introduced and characters nobody gives a flying fuck about die too. Everyone comes back just fine. The good character that you thought was dead? No no no. And the character that was newly introduced in this brand new event? And it was Evil as fuck? Oh no. That character is BACK too. Fuck you again! Fuck everything and every sense in your brain" - DC Anyway I was willing to forgive as I said, lots of comebacks, if they weren't crying about someone dying for real aaaaall the fuuuuuucking tiiiiiime. Had its good moments. Sure, I liked the stuff with Batman and at the end, that was super interesting. I liked also the Superman stuff sometimes. WW was too much to take.. That, I didn't like much.

Start your review of Justice League of America, Vol. I haven't been following Justice League, so there were some parts of the plot that were a bit shaky to me. However, the majority of it was easy to follow. It starts off with Jade back from the dead after Blackest Night being carried to earth encased in a huge hunk of the Starheart. Random super people go insane, and her father starts to look a lot like Parallax. Except not. Made up mostly of B- list or obscure heroes, this is a fun way to spend the afternoo 3.

I just read this, and I am not completely sure how the title relates to the actual story. The title of this trade is similar to how I felt about this book, and how I feel about James Robinson- ambiguous to the point of confusion. I have read a bit Robinson's work, all of his Starman stuff, most of his superman work, and The Golden Age. The Golden Age and Starman are fantastic, comic book Masterpieces that do not get the amount of praise that they deser Isn't the title for this trade really lame? The Golden Age and Starman are fantastic, comic book Masterpieces that do not get the amount of praise that they deserve, always overshadowed by Sandman and Watchmen and the Dark Knight Rises. Then, there is his Superman work and this. There is no personality here, it is just generic stuff that could have come out of the 90s. I suppose, since this particular story focuses on members of Infinity Inc and their connection to the Justice Society, that makes it stand out against other pre - new 52 books, but other than that, there wasn't anything in this book that made me want to keep reading. Aug 07, John Yelverton rated it it was ok. It's amazing that a book series that started off so well, has died with such a pathetic whimper. Apr 27, Mike rated it liked it Shelves: justice-league. What I like most about James Robinson's work is his use of obscure characters. There are a number of panels full of characters I have barely even heard of and makes me interested in the back stories of these lesser characters. As anjoyable as this book was at times, this is far from Robinson's best work. The dialogue is weak for someone of his calibre I lost track of how many times a character said "In God's name It's an interesting idea to have so many thought balloons in a book to displ What I like most about James Robinson's work is his use of obscure characters. It's an interesting idea to have so many thought balloons in a book to display what each "hero" thinks about during a story. I don't think he quite got it right here though, many of the thoughts were repetetive or, again, weak. It might be down to the fact his pencilling 2 series in this book and he ended up having to rush. My main irk with his work is he makes every character look 5 years younger than they actually are. This book was okay, it was by no means the worst book i've read but I know Robinson can do better. Sep 02, Eskana rated it it was ok. Another lesson in "Why not to jump into comic book stories you know nothing about We've got a plot involving the JSA, the JSA All-stars did not even know that was a team , some Titans, and a smattering of other small-time characters. Sheesh, I thought I knew a lot of smaller characters, but no Another lesson in "Why not to jump into comic book stories you know nothing about Sheesh, I thought I knew a lot of smaller characters, but not being familiar with the JSA really was a disadvantage here. This is also not a very self- contained story arc. Some trades are very concise, and you get begining, middle, and end of a story. Here, though, you have to jump in knowing not only the characters I mentioned above, but how they are related, or previous relationships. You have to be able to catch that this Batman is Dick Grayson, although it's not mentioned luckily, Dick does not act like Batman, plus he's teaming up with Titans like Donna Troy, so I was able to figure that out. The art is nice by the panel structure seems cluttered and messy, and it was kinda hard to see which direction to read it in. Plot Synopsis: I'll try to summarize the best I can His daughter Jennie, aka Jade, who had died I guess previously, arrives on Earth powered by the "Starheart," some kind of mysterious power that was what originally powered Alan's lantern. But the power of the Starheart begins possessing metas across Earth and making them go crazy and attack everyone. Terrific, Mr. Miracle II, Felix Faust, Kyle Rayner, and a bunch of other people it's crowded go on a complicated goose-chase trying to find what they need to save Alan. It was confusing, and it didn't help that I didn't know who half the people were, and didn't care about the other half. But I have a hard time believing that even if you liked these people, you'd like this story. Every comic is someone's first, and as a new reader, I will tell you that this collection did a very poor job of introducing ANY of these characters or getting me to care. This collection is for fans only. On the individual merits alone, I would give this a 3. El punto fuerte: resuelve varios cabos sueltos del evento y contiene buenas historias. Apr 16, J.

I got this in its single comic book issues, but I chosen this TPB edition to be able of writing a better overall review. People And the title's run comes to an end. The Anti-Monitor is still a threat to Earth, so the logical path is to ask about any weakness of the Anti- Monitor to the only people who met him before, however… …they are the Crime Syndicate!!! Or at least what remains of that team after the events of Forever Evil. Is it really worth the risk? The unexpected new character that surged in the first part of the Darkseid War is with hidden plans, and nobody will be able to predict the outcome of that very dangerous agenda. Soon enough Mammoth from the Fearsome Five. View all 4 comments. Jan 31, Anne rated it really liked it Shelves: comics , graphic-novels , read-in It had been a while since I managed to read the first half of Darksied War. So long, in fact, that I'd forgotten the plot and had to do a re-read before I could start this one. And I really enjoyed it! Lots of craziness, big explosions, and Gotcha moments galore! Well, while I wasn't quite as impressed with this volume, it had enough BIG moments to make it fun.

I'm not terribly overjoyed by the way everything wrapped up, but maybe that's because I thought some of the way it ended seemed sketchy? The art was also different from volume 1 for a few issues. The new look was pretty, but not what I was expecting, and then I found it a bit jarring when it switched back to the old look. For a big event like this, it just makes everything seem to flow better visually. I did love seeing the Crime Syndicate again. Prego Superwoman was so freaking creepy, and the paternity of the baby was a cool surprise! But after the big Who's Your Daddy reveal, that storyline went off the rails a bit. Same with the rest of the people she used the baby's powers on. He absorbed their powers, and then They recharged? It wasn't permanent? I don't fucking know?! In fact, the entire ending left me with a feeling of disappointment due to that sort of thing. It was very: BANG! The end. Especially considering it led to the end of the battle And there were several things like that. Things that I thought deserved more page time, but were squished into a few panels that didn't pack much of a punch. Ok, one of the things I did like was all of the stuff with Jessica aka Power Ring. I was lukewarm about her character before, but I really want to read more about her now. Another couple of characters I want more of is Scott and Barda! Those two in my opinion really stole the show! And, of course, Batman and the Mobius chair was a highlight, as well Just grading it on a Blockbuster Fun scale this is easily a 5 star read, but if you break the actual plot apart, you're going to come up with some issues. Still, I enjoyed it more than a lot of the angsty crap that's getting churned out these days. Recommended for DC fans. View all 12 comments.

Well, there is sort of an ending to this whole run in this issue. It must be my age, but it's frustrating that they sacrifice telling a narrative so the story makes sense so that they can tell a super-fast paced exciting story that doesn't stop. It's hard to connect to the characters and action because there is no time. For me it takes some of the fun out of it. Still, there is enough of a bare story to at least be entertaining. There are resolutions to things and things unexplained. I thought t Well, there is sort of an ending to this whole run in this issue. I thought the ending was a good enough ending. I thought this was supposed to be the end of this series and then they leave us in a cliff hanger. I found out there is a little half volume after this, so I have to hunt that down. This is Geoff Johns and I kind of expect more from him. I don't feel like he lets the reader down like DC tends to do. He knows his characters. But, I felt this was a little muddled. He is probably exhausted from writing most of the good stuff from this DC 52 run. Oh well, I hope it's better in the future. View 2 comments. Jan 12, Sam Quixote rated it did not like it.

I didn't feel that way with this one, even with all the drama that's going on. A lot of big surprises in this one, and some really great cameos. Unlikely heroes show up, and the big dependable heroes seem humbled in this. I would recommend it, despite the fact that it's very chaotic in some ways.

Anyway, I was willing to play the Forgive Ah.. Seriously, from the moment it starts since Part 1, previous volume Wonder Woman especially and some others too, are all like "Someone is going to die here", "this is the end, but at what cost? A Life", "Black Racer is here, and for him to be gone, he needs to take a life", "Anti-Monitor is more than a God, we're going to die".. And then. Lots of shit happen. Someone dies. More than one. Lots of bad guys die too. Characters we just got introduced and characters nobody gives a flying fuck about die too. Everyone comes back just fine. The good character that you thought was dead? No no no. And the character that was newly introduced in this brand new event? And it was Evil as fuck? Oh no. That character is BACK too. Fuck you again! Fuck everything and every sense in your brain" - DC Anyway I was willing to forgive as I said, lots of comebacks, if they weren't crying about someone dying for real aaaaall the fuuuuuucking tiiiiiime.

Isn't the title for this trade really lame? I just read this, and I am not completely sure how the title relates to the actual story. The title of this trade is similar to how I felt about this book, and how I feel about James Robinson- ambiguous to the point of confusion. I have read a bit Robinson's work, all of his Starman stuff, most of his superman work, and The Golden Age. The Golden Age and Starman are fantastic, comic book Masterpieces that do not get the amount of praise that they deser Isn't the title for this trade really lame? The Golden Age and Starman are fantastic, comic book Masterpieces that do not get the amount of praise that they deserve, always overshadowed by Sandman and Watchmen and the Dark Knight Rises. Then, there is his Superman work and this. There is no personality here, it is just generic stuff that could have come out of the 90s. I suppose, since this particular story focuses on members of Infinity Inc and their connection to the Justice Society, that makes it stand out against other pre - new 52 books, but other than that, there wasn't anything in this book that made me want to keep reading. Aug 07, John Yelverton rated it it was ok. It's amazing that a book series that started off so well, has died with such a pathetic whimper. Apr 27, Mike rated it liked it Shelves: justice-league. What I like most about James Robinson's work is his use of obscure characters. There are a number of panels full of characters I have barely even heard of and makes me interested in the back stories of these lesser characters. As anjoyable as this book was at times, this is far from Robinson's best work. The dialogue is weak for someone of his calibre I lost track of how many times a character said "In God's name It's an interesting idea to have so many thought balloons in a book to displ What I like most about James Robinson's work is his use of obscure characters. It's an interesting idea to have so many thought balloons in a book to display what each "hero" thinks about during a story. I don't think he quite got it right here though, many of the thoughts were repetetive or, again, weak. It might be down to the fact his pencilling 2 series in this book and he ended up having to rush. My main irk with his work is he makes every character look 5 years younger than they actually are. This book was okay, it was by no means the worst book i've read but I know Robinson can do better. Sep 02, Eskana rated it it was ok. Another lesson in "Why not to jump into comic book stories you know nothing about We've got a plot involving the JSA, the JSA All-stars did not even know that was a team , some Titans, and a smattering of other small-time characters. Sheesh, I thought I knew a lot of smaller characters, but no Another lesson in "Why not to jump into comic book stories you know nothing about Sheesh, I thought I knew a lot of smaller characters, but not being familiar with the JSA really was a disadvantage here. This is also not a very self- contained story arc. Some trades are very concise, and you get begining, middle, and end of a story. Here, though, you have to jump in knowing not only the characters I mentioned above, but how they are related, or previous relationships. You have to be able to catch that this Batman is Dick Grayson, although it's not mentioned luckily, Dick does not act like Batman, plus he's teaming up with Titans like Donna Troy, so I was able to figure that out. The art is nice by the panel structure seems cluttered and messy, and it was kinda hard to see which direction to read it in. Plot Synopsis: I'll try to summarize the best I can His daughter Jennie, aka Jade, who had died I guess previously, arrives on Earth powered by the "Starheart," some kind of mysterious power that was what originally powered Alan's lantern. But the power of the Starheart begins possessing metas across Earth and making them go crazy and attack everyone. Terrific, Mr. Miracle II, Felix Faust, Kyle Rayner, and a bunch of other people it's crowded go on a complicated goose-chase trying to find what they need to save Alan. It was confusing, and it didn't help that I didn't know who half the people were, and didn't care about the other half. But I have a hard time believing that even if you liked these people, you'd like this story. Every comic is someone's first, and as a new reader, I will tell you that this collection did a very poor job of introducing ANY of these characters or getting me to care. This collection is for fans only. On the individual merits alone, I would give this a 3. El punto fuerte: resuelve varios cabos sueltos del evento y contiene buenas historias. Apr 16, J. Griff rated it it was ok. Not much to say about this storyline. There are obvious foreshadowing for future stories. Aug 18, Eldon Farrell rated it did not like it Shelves: comics. I think I'll take a break from this series. It's reached absurd levels here :. Sep 29, Duncan rated it it was amazing. A whole story without killing ONE major character - And even the backup feature was murder-free! Robinson and Bagley seem to be having a blast on this title, and I'm really digging it. Oct 09, Dave Anderson rated it it was ok. Firstly, I am a fan of James Robinson. I will probably end up grabbing either this trade paperback or putting the individual issues on my bucket list simply for James Robinson and Mark Bagley. There are a couple of things though. This is Justice-Titans. It's not enough of one or the other. I'd pay good money to read Robinson write The Magnificent Seven. I'd pay good money to read him revive the classic, original Infinity, Inc. I'd love to see that on Justice League or Titans. I'd love to see him write a Golden Age sidekicks story! As a fan, I liked this story. A hybrid of characters. None of the original seven. Too many characters to the point of brushing cameos aside. The Demon shows up, and when he's changed back to Jason Blood, he's actually invited to leave! This is like a Cecil B. DeMille grand production. I'm still trying to figure out how Obsidian got the better of The Shade? How did that happen? This is so epic - it's almost too epic if that's possible. There are so many characters and so many voices. This could maybe work as a novel, each chapter a different point of view. Or a shifting point of view. The final problem is who the villain turns out to be. Don't heroes fight bad guys anymore? There are actually no villains in this story, except heroes gone bad. I've read so many stories where Todd Rice's Obsidian is rogue, I am weary. I would love to see Robinson write The Magnificent Seven versus one or more of their classic adversaries. Same for the Titans and Infinity, Inc. Taken for what it is, it's pretty okay. I enjoyed it for Robinson's unique voice and Bagley's art. Robinson is one of my go-to authors. Mar 15, Alan rated it liked it. James Robinson seems to be intent of having fun and creating toss away minor characters upon his return to comics after about a decade in Hollywood. Here Jennie Lynn Haden, whom a previous writer had killed off aka friged , is being returned to the land of the living. Much like his British compatriots, Grant Morrison and Alan Moore yes that Alan Moore Robinson loves to delve in James Robinson seems to be intent of having fun and creating toss away minor characters upon his return to comics after about a decade in Hollywood. In addition to resurrecting Jennie aka Jade we get her brother, the Starheart mythology, her father and a cameo by his wife a former villain , and a decently paced story. When he returned to DC Robinson took over a Superman title featuring Mon-El, and in an one issue story took Mon on a world tour and tossed in about half a dozen characters in foreign lands whom frankly I wanted to see more of. Here he does the same thing creating the German equivalent of the Rocket Red Brigade and he uses them quite well for the brief time the characters are int he story. Oct 17, Bill rated it did not like it. Picked this up from my library as a quick read during my lunch break, and wish I hadn't wasted my time. Too many characters, too little characterization; heroes and villains drop in and out with little logic. The plot doesn't make any sense. Dialogue is horrendous, and the fight scenes feel so posed, so inert. Plus, it Yuck. Plus, it simultaneously requires you to know a lot of back-story of many of the heroes, while ignoring other aspects of their pasts. Justice League of America Vol 1 8 | DC Database | Fandom

There is a scene near the end of Darkseid War where multiple characters use a newborn super-powered baby as a death ray, waving it around so it blasts people to ash with its laser eyes. Perhaps there are other writers than Geoff Johns who would think of this. I'm not sure any would ask us to take it seriously.

Darkseid War, the payoff to fifty issues of scheming and pouting from Johns' Justice League cast, is a muddle of clenched jaws, splash pages, meaningless conflict and rotating super-powers. It's self-important to an extreme, an incoherent slugfest, ten issues of one-time icons shouting at one another about how high the stakes are. Nothing sticks. Even Johns' gifts for manipulation desert him - emotional throughlines, like Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, turn into false trails. Fittingly it all leads into DC Rebirth - this noisy, banal retread of better stories is a good tombstone for the New 52 era. View all 3 comments.

This second half of the story begins with two issues beautifully illustrated by Francis Manapul which act as a bridge between the two major acts of the story; the Power of the Gods collection which includes all the one-shots about the Justice League and their new god-like abilities takes place between these two issues, if you're trying to fit everything in. Then we get back to business for a few issues as the Justice League turn to their enemies for aid as the Anti-Monitor and Grail target them for death, and the only ones who can stop them are the Injustice League. It sounds hectic, but Johns always makes sure that everything makes sense, and if you're fans of these characters and what Johns has been doing with them, it's wonderful to behold. Also collected hopefully, since this review is out a week before the book actually hits the stands is the Darkseid War special, which contains the origin of Grail, as well as the fruition of her current plot before she pops back up in the main series. Just goes to show how much story Geoff Johns had to tell, since it bled out into this issue as well as the main Justice League book. I cannot heap enough praise on the artist for the rest of the Darkseid War, Jason Fabok, who is absolutely brilliant. He has a perfect sense of proportion, and his artwork always pops off the page. Brad Anderson's colours only enhance the work Fabok does, and I am so glad such a good artist got to draw such a event-scale storyline. He's definitely one to look out for in the future. Geoff Johns brings his Justice League run to a triumphant close with the final half of the Darkseid War, perfectly pencilled, cleverly executed, and jaw-droppingly brilliant. Comic book storytelling at it's finest. Jun 07, Chris rated it it was amazing Shelves: dc-comics.

Fuck that shit, he was too awesome to die. It felt like there was a huge moment nearly every few pages and Fabok and Anderson didn't miss a step with their incredible visuals. For me, they draw the definitive version of Wonder Woman and I can't fault their depictions of the rest of the cast, either. No small feat considering a small army of characters star in this book. Not that he survived, of course It concludes a run that wasn't without it's flaws, but was often ridiculously entertaining. Comics like Geoff Johns' Justice League may not be for everyone, but as far as cinematic blockbusters go, I don't think anyone does them better. Why Geoff?!?

This is by far the darkest Justice League book I've read at this point. Darkseid is bad enough, but if he had offspring with a disgraced Amazon, you can imagine how bad that would turn out. Everyone of the JL has serious issues, and there are some fatalities. So much happens, and it's been a while since I read this, so I'm going by my memory.

The action picks up from the events of Part 1 , where, manipulated by Grail daughter of Darkseid and a renegade Amazon , the Anti- Monitor killed Darkseid. In the upheaval that follows, several League members are imbued with godlike powers. The Anti-Monitor remains an extinction-level threat and the devious Grail comes into possession of the devastating Anti-Life Equation. The threat forces the League to ally with the Crime Syndicate to stop the Anti-Monitor, while Grail complicates matters even more. Mister Miracle, the forces of Apokolips, Steve Trevor and the Green Lantern Corps all factor into a massive final battle that wraps the saga while setting up numerous major stories for the future. Johns manages an excellent balance of large-scale cosmic action with thoughtful character explorations. Johns is juggling a lot here, but brings it all together very effectively. He crafts new status quos for several characters, devises an intriguing new history for the Anti-Monitor and develops Grail into a credible threat. Along the way, he choreographs some first rate action sequences, packs in plenty of twists and surprises and keeps a sense of vital energy flowing consistently. Johns has a good feel for his cast and plays them off one another in canny fashion. For as crowded a story as Darkseid War can be, characters never feel short-changed. Even if playing small roles, each cast member matters and enhances the story. Johns clearly had Rebirth on his mind as he built to the finale. The climax is a crucial springboard into that new era, with plot threads that have already spread across the DC line with major impact. Artist Jason Fabok cements his place on the A-list with this arc. Working with colorist Brad Anderson, Fabok produces some absolutely stunning visuals. His design sense is strong, with character concepts and page layouts that are sharp and innovative. Fabok and Anderson nail the big screen ethos of the story, producing stunning images, including absolutely beautiful one- and two-page spreads packed with detail, energy and dynamics. The Manapul chapters have a dreamy quality that constitute an appealing interlude before Fabok and Anderson unleashes their high impact visual pyrotechnics for the finale. Given how uneven the first two years of Justice League were in the New 52, the stunning course correction in the second half of the run is downright amazing. The creative team brings this era of Justice League to a strong crescendo, providing a satisfying conclusion that sets up the next phase of the franchise very effectively.

If anything too many writers have tried to take on Jack Kirby's Fourth World creations, and frankly I think most of them have failed please note I have yet to read Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman work with Orion etc. Geoff Johns' strength though is working with pre-existing properties, whereas he seems to struggle with creating original characters.

Johns does add some If anything too many writers have tried to take on Jack Kirby's Fourth World creations, and frankly I think most of them have failed please note I have yet to read Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman work with Orion etc. Johns does add some new creations to the mix here, but for the most part this is a big knock down action sequence, a story where both sides are going for the knock out. Yep, I'm using cliches here, but this did remind me in some ways of the old fashioned Hollywood action epics of the s. It turns out once upon a time the Amazons had an assassin, and she had Darkseid's daughter. Afters thousands of years of manipulation, a war is set in motion with the goal being Darkseid's death. This is in many ways Wonder Woman's story as she does a good deal of the narration. There is some setup here for the current DC reboot, but that is easily ignored. As a note, for those who read this as singles, they read fine on a tablet with a good display which is how I read this-just doing the review in TPBs which is easier for me. May 28, Vinay Badri rated it really liked it Shelves: read. This was very uneven but as much big action cinematic fun as one can get. Johns signs off in style as the DC Universe preps itself for something big, Rebirth. The action is non-stop and the developments are earth shaking even as the DC Universe is set to be rebooted. Johns has never been shy of putting the DC trinity through some paradigm shifting events and he does more than justify why. Each of the 3 has moments that causes them to question whats happening and it helps that for once, we have a This was very uneven but as much big action cinematic fun as one can get. Each of the 3 has moments that causes them to question whats happening and it helps that for once, we have a different point of view. Wonder Woman acts as the narrator and the audience's eye for the action that unfolds and comes out looking stronger. In typical Johns style, he has never been shy of wanting Batman to take up the green lantern ring and yet again foists the ring on Batman. Similarly, he makes Lex Luthor into something more than what he was before. Fabok's artwork is stunning and the characters leap off the page, marking yet another successful creator-artist combo for Johns. Boy, is he lucky or what in that regards What will be interesting is to see how this leads into Rebirth and the repercussions for DC Universe post the events of the Darkseid War Nov 05, Fraser Sherman rated it did not like it Shelves: graphic-novels. And he doesn't get the Anti-Monitor either. In Kirby's original "Fourth World" stories, the struggle was between life freedom and choice and anti- life slavery and blind obedience. Here the anti-life equation is primarily some kind of death force that wants to literally eradicate life, making it much less interesting. In fact just about everything in this book is uninter Geoff Johns does not get Jack Kirby's New Gods at all though I don't think anyone else working on the New 52 does either. In fact just about everything in this book is uninteresting. And I seriously doubt the big reveals the Joker is three people! Wonder Woman has a twin brother! Nor is Grail that interesting, which is unfortunate as she's a major player here DC apparently considers her the Next Big Thing as she gets a lot of space in Wonder Woman recently too.

I don't think Geoff Johns handles Darkseid well, the character never feels threatening or authoritative. Calling this a war is a mistake as well, since it's just one battle that happens for a few issues. So, the combination of part 1 and 2 equal three stars but DC has done better. In fact, I kept thinking of how much better Darkseid was represented in the old Superman and Justice League cartoons. It was OK. Can't remeber much about it. Batman was a god, then he wasn't? Darkseid is dead? Something something Amazons? DC needs to: 1 get out of constant, sequential event mode; 2 make these easier to follow in collections. It was an improvement over volume 1.
