No spoilers, but how part fourleaves off had me both cursing and cheering for the next one. As things go from bad to worse, it is absolutely grand to see the Justice League pulling together, as they always do. Wonder Woman's words to The Kindred provoked chills as she assured the ineffably old aliens the Justice League would do what they always do: fight, and win. For those following THE EXTINCTION MACHINE storyline, those who want to see the Justice League take on universe-ending stakes, or those who just love the thrill of great superhero action, this issue is a solid entry.

As mentioned before, JUSTICE LEAGUE #5 wraps up the Extinction Machine story line and leaves it open for plenty of new possibilities. While things are settled (for now) at the end, the League knows that they have much more to face in the coming times. For fans of the Justice League or those who have been following along the Extinction Machine series, it is safe to say that the anticipation for new developments on the after events is high. Who knows what the Kindred have activated or summoned with their song? Here's hoping we'll all find out soon enough.

Overall, SUICIDE SQUAD SPECIAL: WAR CRIMES was a great issue that harkens back veteran writer John Ostrander. With hilarious writing, thrilling action and an all-around well-written team of psychopaths, WAR CRIMES makes for a wonderful read. While it may not be perfect, with rushed pacing and a couple of knee-jerk moments that speed by, WAR CRIMES has a lot to offer fans of SUICIDE SQUAD. I personally cannot wait to see what is in store for our beloved freaks in their next adventure.
