    Issue #2 adds a lot of lore to this take on the Justice League. The differences in personalities mesh together effortlessly, and the artwork brings much-appreciated detail to the action and panels. I need issue 3 instantly! Read Full Review

    This series has such a great vibe to it, spinning all its characters out of a 19th century aesthetic that changes their origins but leaves them still recognizable. While this issue doesn't have too much in the way of plot advancement, it does drop some huge lore about Krypton which might be a little too familiar to those who have seen the recent movie, but adds some great dynamics between Superman and Martian Manhunter.

    The Comic Book Spot - Greg Thomson Aug 16, 2025

    Batman: Gotham by Gaslight A League for Justice #2 pushes along at a great pace and is keeping the reader enticed with the action that appears to be happening in each issue. Also with dropping big cliffhangers like at the end of this issue will no doubt keep readers coming back each month. The creative team are doing a fantastic job at keeping the consistency going from the first issue. Hopefully the rest of the issue is just as good all round, and I look forward to finding out!

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Aug 15, 2025

    Theres real narrative power in the global vision of the story that Diggle is crafting. It keeps it from feeling too much like its falling into one subgenre or the other. Theres a cowboy feel to it. Theres a steampunk feel to it. Theres a Victorian feel to it. Theres an otherworldly Verne aesthetic going on. Theres even a little bit of a conspiratorial hottot King in Yellow sort of a thing going on that feels interesting. Diggle is reaching in interesting directions with the story even if they dont always feel all that original. Read Full Review

    This is exactly what I've wanted to see from this series the whole time! Hey it only took 7 issues to get here. In all seriousness, the setup those 7 issues do is very important but is probably best read in one go rather than monthly. All in all, a good, well paced issue. Let's how they keep up the good work!
