The final showdown between the forces of freedom and the axis of oppression crashes to a cataclysmic conclusion! Will a fully powered Uncle Sam be enough to stop Cyborg Overman? What dark impulses must Phantom Lady tap into to stop the Plasstic Men? And...wait a minute, did Adolf Hitler III just murder his own father in cold blood? Oh, you're going to need to read this one to believe it...
It's a finale that brings a satisfying end to one of the best series DC has published in the last couple of years, and does so by balancing the tonal needs of a deeply patriotic and somewhat dated premise with the more cynical and "realistic" feel of modern comics. Read Full Review
Freedom Fighters' Finale is as explosive and epic as its start. Read Full Review
Artist Eddy Barrows delivers his usual big blockbuster style of action scenes and the pages look amazing. Colorist Adriano Lucas comes through as well with some dazzling work. Read Full Review
Since issue #1, this series has been a book for a thinking reader. There are lots of big ideas presented here that aren't always easily explored in the super-hero genre. Freedom Fighters #12 is no different. While there is the sense that it would've been great to learn more about each individual character, or have a bigger, more significant resolution, what we got is a finale that extends beyond the bounds of the comic itself and into the real world. Perhaps, there's something to be learned from this series. Read Full Review
While I loved this series overall, I felt that this conclusion felt a little lackluster in what it showed us with our heroes and the aftermath of their quest to rid the world of the Ratzi menace. That being said, there's still so much fun here and the art was amazing throughout. Maybe I'm just not ready to be done with Earth-X and wanted to squeeze as much out of this issue as possible, but by the conclusion we do get an end to our story, I just wish there was more to it.

For a series with a lot of political themes on its mind, it never really goes beyond the surface level on its concept. Read Full Review
It was fun and entertaining . I loved characters.
Loved the series. Never been that interested in Earth X, but this was a darker than expected treat.
Prelude:
It's the final issue of Freedom Fighters. Let's see how Venditti goes with wrapping this maxi-series up.
The Good:
Out of everyone, I loved Uncle Sam the most of the Freedom Fighters.
I love the National Avatars.
Eddy Barrows. His art was amazing throughout the series but especially here.
The Bad:
Not sure how I feel about that last page. Doesn't seem right to me.
Conclusion:
Your typical happy ending that was to be expected but I wouldn't have it any other way. Only part I'm questioning is the final page.
This is fine. I don't know why Hitler 3 had to tell the Freedom Fighters about the bomb. Guess it's hubris. I don't know, this doesn't make me feel the American spirit. Guess I'm a ratzi.
Isn’t it great how fascism is just a problem of like one or two bad people at the top and for sure never the people who follow them?
