I also noticed that his writing is also a lot less self-serious from here on out - evil Jor El telling his wife to shut up and die as Krypton explodes around them was an unexpected laugh. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I don't get why it had to be this way when Johns had five years to establish these core elements of his climactic arc. Lex’s arrogance and ego have always been staples of his character, and having those be the reason he wants to defeat the Crime Sydicate makes for a fun read. I liked seeing the Justice League getting punished for failing to work as a team, and having to be bailed out by their own villains really taught them a lesson.

Hey, I hope you didn't have any unanswered questions about Trinity War and Pandora and all that stuff, because volume 2 of this omnibus throws you straight into Forever Evil, and there's no looking back! Over that last year, I've really gotten into DC comics, Justice League, Swamp Thing and Aquaman soo far. It’s a thrilling combination of largely character driven story and near cinema like artwork that evokes the work of a Bryan Hitch.The final story arc, The Darkseid War, is full of bombastic moments are is non stop from the first page to the last and helps set up future story arcs that were a part of the Rebirth story/line of comics.

As this evil version of the Justice League takes over the DC Universe, no one stands in the way of them and complete domination no one except for Lex Luthor. In 2011, DC s New 52 era ushered in daring reinventions of pop culture s greatest characters with the Justice League at the forefront!We could've gotten a better sense of what's going on in Grail's head, but instead, there's a weird interlude in the middle where the Justice Leaguers gain godlike powers and spend some time being gods. This one was honestly a head-scratcher for me, and I managed to make head and tails of Final Crisis! In a flash of light, the world's most powerful heroes vanish as the Crime Syndicate arrives from Earth-3!

Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank. In a flash of light, the world’s most powerful heroes vanish as the Crime Syndicate arrives from Earth-3! This character, Grail, has really conflicting motivations that pivot like three times within the climax of this storyline. Their characters and environments have a cinematic look to them, while also having a nice level of detail.I suppose it should go without saying that you're better off forgetting everything that was established about the Monitors pre-N52.
