    There are a lot of little subplots in this issue, such as a great visit to the Oblivion Bar with some excellent cameos and a chance to catch up with Steve Trevor as he escapes captivity and starts to try to undermine Waller from within. Read Full Review

    I had a lot of fun reading Absolute Power: Task Force VII #3. Its secret weapon is an Amazo that accidentally gains a power nobody saw coming: the power of choice. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jul 31, 2024

    Absolute Power: Task Force VII #3 is one of the better tie-ins in the Absolute Power event because it maintains consistency across titles, shows intriguing developments, and presents it all in a relatively pretty package. Adams continues to prove he's the DC guy who can make lemons out of lemonade, and Santucci's solid art is made better by Arif Prianto's excellent coloring. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Aug 1, 2024

    It is remarkably difficult to keep things moving on a weekly series without having the whole thing feel rushed. There's quite a lot that has to happen in a very short span of time if everything's going to wrap up at the beginning of October for Absolute Power to usher-in the All-In Initiative and the coming Absolute Universe that DC rolled-out around the San Diego Comic Con. It's a hell of a lot to coordinate and they're actually doing a pretty good job of it. It's nice to know that, in and amidst all of the confusion and chaos  every now and again there's going to be a chapter like this that's actually written pretty well. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Theron Couch Jul 31, 2024

    The virtue of Absolute Power Task Force VII is that every issue features a character centric story while delivering excitement and possibly key plot points. They also raise questions about the Amazos. Absolute Power Task Force VII #3 isnt the most exciting issue in the series, but its look inside an Amazos head is the best yet. Read Full Review

    ComicBook.com - Chase Magnett Jul 31, 2024

    Task Force VII read like outtakes from Absolute Power across its first two issues, emphasizing scenes and connections not important enough to be included in the event miniseries but too insubstantial to stand on their own merits like illustrated superhero trivia. Absolute Power: Task Force VII #3 does significant work to address this flaw by emphasizing the strange connection made between Alan Scott and the Amazo Jadestone and offering more than a summary of what's happened to the JSA since Absolute Power #1.

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Jul 31, 2024

    Absolute Power: Task Force VII #3 takes the concept further. This has been a heavy metal series so far filled with all-out war between the Amazo robots and the heroes of the DC Universe. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr. Jul 31, 2024

    Overall, this particular story is overwhelmingly mediocre. On a positive note, the overarching plot about the Amazos is slowly coming together. Furthermore, each member of the squad retains interest with their individual quirks. In the same breath, the more information readers learn about these characters, the less readers will be able to take the event seriously. Despite the overwhelming strength of the Amazos, the robots are a disappointing liability. The colorful cast of characters are definitely a highlight for me, but those same characters are basically just scribbles on the page. All in all, this is yet another skippable issue.
