I'm enjoying where JLO is heading these days. This was a title in need of a purpose and its arrival was well timed to maintain interest. Read Full Review
Darkseid teaches a freshman-level philosophy class in Justice League Odyssey #8. And your classmates are Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael. Green Lantern Jessica Cruz is trying to add the class but it's full right now. Make sure you don't miss more than three days before the midterm otherwise he'll drop you and you'll get that nasty W on your transcripts. Read Full Review
Continuing to outdo himself yet again, Abnett proves why this title was worth saving. Those strong character moments would be nothing without Samperes pencils. Darkseid proves to be the continual thorn in the side of this rendition of Justice League. As the series moves into its next arc, the ghost sectors os primed to be further explored on a larger scale as this title continues to find its way into readers hands. Read Full Review
We finally get some answers in Justice League Odyssey #8 this week, and while the issue doesn't really do much with them, what really works here is the interplay between Darkseid and the heroes. Read Full Review
The art is good, particularly on the battle scenes, as Blackfire leads the forces of Tamaran and Azrael-world against Darkseid and his new allies. Read Full Review
With Justice League Odyssey #8, Dan Abnett has crafted an enjoyable issue that strikes an excellent balance between answering longstanding questions and asking new ones. Read Full Review

Under this new creative team, Justice League Odyssey seems to be finding its focus " and it's a lot less ambitious than the original pitch. Read Full Review
The issue ends showing just how dire the situation has become, as a threat previously unseen hits the team. With everything finally revealed, the mysterious premise which the series started with is gone. Therefore, there's an all-new direction for the title to go in with a cosmic threat looming. At the same time, the absolutely dangerous combination of Azrael's followers and Blackfire could cause many headaches for our heroes. This issue has handled questions of how well characters can trust each other and has changed the tone, leaving us to wonder how they're going to overcome these problems. This was a dramatic end to the first story arc. Read Full Review
While we get some answers to questions that have been hanging around since issue #1, not much is done with them. Overall, this book seems like a better fit for Abnett, but at the expense of some character work. The art is good but Sampere needs to draw Darkseid more often because he's great at drawing that character specifically. Read Full Review
Justice League Odysseyis the most skipable Justice League series in decades. Bland characters, bland story. But the art is really nice. Read Full Review
Heavy stuff. I kinda like the story and where it's leading them.
Well this story definitely took a sharp right turn from where it all started feels like and I am ok with that! Good issue. Not great but just good. Enjoyable art and the writing is about 7.5/10. Hopefully we see Jessica charge her ring fast! Now I am all set for this book! Unfortunately it took so long to get to this point. Enjoying Blackfire!
The plot still hasn’t really started yet. Darkseid is repeating once more, that he needs their help to save the New Gods/ ghost sectors. It’s frustrating to read, that the C JL members apparently still don’t get that. Cyborg also starts to really pissing me off. Isn’t he supposed to be smarter in New52/ Rebirth? Apparently not...
The good thing is, that Darkseid at least sounds more like himself again, which is the first time since Death of the New Gods, but it’s still frustrating to see how much DC messes his power level up. This entire quest is beneath him, but for some reason he has to go through with it, because DC really hates Darkseid & loves to humiliate him.
As a fan of Darkseid I soon give up here...
I love how they’re pretending like they have Darkseid locked up tight when his eyes are literally right there and they shoot actual death beams?!
It took so much for me to get through this issue. This was such a bore. I hated it.
