Sep 02, 2022There are still a lot of things I hope get answered. What about Thao-La? Are the Phaelosians going to live on Warworld? Is Superman cured by the white sun? But those questions can be answered another day. For now, I'll just bask in this ending. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Sep 10, 2022Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1 sticks the landing. Theres really nothing else to say about it. Johnson, Peterson, Conrad, Raynor, Mendonca, Loughridge, and Sharpe produce an action-packed finale, one that has wonderful moments and sets things up for the future. Endings are difficult, but this one makes it look easy. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Aug 30, 2022This story took a lot of beats from Johnson's brilliant The Last God, but the last chapter reminds us that it is a Superman story through and through, with a stunning last few pages that make me hope he's writing Superman for a long time to come. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Ariel B.
Aug 30, 2022A truly satisfying conclusion to one of the best Superman arcs in recent memory... made all the more intriguing for the roads that it opens going forward as for the roads closed by the last page. Superman: Warworld Apocalypse has me anticipating future developments and wondering what is in store for these characters, and what could become of Warworld from this point on. Read Full Review

Aug 30, 2022It didn't seem to be a popular decision with readers when it was announced, but Johnson's commitment to the concept won over most naysayers to create a well-respected and enjoyable arc. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler
Sep 01, 2022Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1 delivers the epic conclusion to the entire Warworld Saga set up all the back in DC's Future State. The comic gives the big rematch between Superman and Mongul while resolving various other stories introduced in earlier issues. While not everything lands well, the Warworld Saga ends on a strong and wholesome note that Superman fans can enjoy. Read Full Review

Sep 02, 2022Despite being derived from an ongoing run, this finale works well for new readers to drive them into the next stage of Supermans story. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Eric Shea
Aug 30, 2022We've got a lot of artists on this book, but thankfully it doesn't hinder the overall final story of Superman Vs. Mongul. The only thing to really hinder it is a feeling of being rushed to the finish and while some obvious cracks in the storytelling show, the overall product was still enjoyable and I look forward to seeing where and when we continue on some of the future stories that were set up here.

Aug 31, 2022The net result is a book that doesn't feel like it has the significance that it should while also feeling a bit rushed. Still, if you're a Superman fan, it leaves the reader with a lot of possibilities and that's a big win. Read Full Review

hands down one of the best superman stories of all time. Definitely shows why Superman is the greatest superhero of all time, good art, great plot, and great action. Warworld Saga is a success to me. Entire event is a 9 out of 10

Great arc, though this last chapter felt a little rushed but overall satisfying. Shame the art dipped throughout the run.

A fitting end to the Warworld Saga. I really hope that wherever PKJ's run goes next, that it can maintain the quality of this story. It's been a long time since Superman has been this good. Let's keep it up.

8.0
Good story carrying bad art. A couple of fun moments sprinkled across to hide the anti-climax. The Kryx-Ul status quo was great, the Lois sequence was great, and the sacrifice of Leonath was pretty fantastic. The best moment for me was the return of Lightray and the Black Racer watching her and Omac; Jack Kirby's birthday was a few days ago and this just hit me in the right spot. Mongul's death was lame, I did not care for the Olgrun stuff, and the final battle sequences weren't all that dynamic besides the Manchester Black JLA illusion which was cool. If this had a good artist, this book would be a lot more popular. Ever since Sampere and Federici left, the fill-ins have been pretty ass. Miguel Mendoca could have come in like he did more

Overall nice ending to an ok but to long story arc. There are some cool moments in the book but certain elements felt rushed. Glad it's all over and we can move on to other stories.

The finale that focuses on all characters was a sight to watch, good involvement from other characters,action sequences and all the twists and sacrifices make this one worth an end.The climax was light hearted and delivered pure superman vibes. However, a lot of questions to be answered in the future.

Thankfully this nightmare snorefest story is over...It just went on and on. Hopefully we can get back to our regularly scheduled story telling and not take a year and change to tell 1 single story with a supporting cast that no one cares about.
