So if, when you are reading this, you find the same problem that I did, just push on. One weakness does not pull this tale down. Read Full Review

A good continuation of the Fan storyline that adds some additional tension and mystery. Read Full Review

Justice League #40 is a slow-burning and thoughtful continued deconstruction of superheroics and the team itself. Not everyone will like what all it has to say, but there is undoubtedly a respectable amount of audacity in saying it. The art is shaky but not outright bad. This one is definitely recommended. Check it out and see what you think. Read Full Review

This book's conflict continues to rise, and though The Fan's motives are clearer than ever, the team is still only in a reactionary mode. They haven't made any strides in taking him out. That's where this run has lacked thus far. They're getting their asses handed to them mentally, physically, and socially. And they can't seem to figure out how to make a move. It does seem like things are tying together a bit more over the past few issues, so maybe there is some sort of restitution on the way. Overall this was a solid issue filled with thought-provoking commentary on the rights and wrongs of vigilante justice. Read Full Review

It was easy to roll my eyes when the main crisis of the issue presented itself " how many times do we see the Watchtower start to fall out of orbit per year? I'm pretty sure it's happened in Trinity, and at least once in Hitch's Justice League run recently. But Priest manages to save this time-worn plot by focusing it entirely on the members of the League stuck on the falling satellite, as they have to make hard decisions about who will live and who will die.

The threads that Priest has laid down seem to be starting to come together. It's hard to see where exactly the story is leading, but the League is facing a threat that is striking at the League's fundamental reasons for existing rather than the usual physical threats the League is used to. This is a fresh take on the League that is quite captivating. Read Full Review

This issue brought up some interesting things. First the obvious issue with the rights of Black People against cops. Not to mention the difference in treatment between the rich and the poor. This was touched on a bit in the last issue and to see it still going a bit in this one is good. With everything going on in the world, it's nice to see these issues touched upon with Superheroes being thrown in the mix. Read Full Review

Priest and Woods' Justice League is a reminder that superheroes and social justice can coexist despite what the Internet might want you to think. Read Full Review

Priest is doing a lot of hard work to connect the players involved in No Justice. The second chapter of Justice Lost still feels somewhat jumbled, but the foundation for one of DC's big 2018 events is slowly starting to take shape. Hopefully, it starts making more sense soon. Read Full Review

The League kicks into high gear as their entire world plunges into chaos. Read Full Review

A test of Cyborg's leadership and creativity, showing off the various personalities of both Leagues with some really dark discussions about who should die. Read Full Review

Priests interesting commentary is hamstrung by poor art and some needless filler pages. Its a good story, but horrible to look at. I wouldve preferred a traditional book. Read Full Review

While I think that the JLA characters are written better than they've ever been written in this issue, the story itself is bogged down with scientific jargon instead of actually being fun and because of that, I found myself getting quite bored by the end.  I enjoyed the art in this issue, but the story like usual is too overwritten. Read Full Review

Priests long form storytelling drags in this issue as it seems to just spin its wheels, accomplishing very little in the process. While both of the teams manage to finally work together right at the very end, this particular issue leaves a lot to be desired.  Being only the second part to this story, more has yet to happen although leaving this issue slightly lacking. This issue lacked importance and felt unnecessarily stretched out. However, Priest's run thus far has been a fresh take on The Justice League and still seems very promising with this new story leading into No Justice within the coming weeks. Read Full Review

The second half of the book has some interesting character interactions, and seeing the teams work together is inspiring, but coupled with the subpar visuals, it just isn't enough to overcome its flaws. Read Full Review

Again, this is all happening because of a "fan". A fan: one single human that we never heard of before who can cause this much damage to now two of the worlds greatest teams...

Is this fan the smartest person in the world? Does the fan have super human intelligence?

This issue was confusing and dealt with our heroes arguing about who should survive for half the book. Ok already, I get it: who gives heroes the right to save us all? How do they decide who to save and when? Are they held responsible when things go bad?

Gotcha! Let's move on already! This isn't a super hero team up book anymore. This is someone's thesis on vigilantism and the way people are treated based on their class system.
I read comics for fun to escape this crap... I don't want to read this heavy handed stuff right now.

I was excited to see a change from Hitch and I heard some great things about Priest. I don't doubt he is a good writer. I have read Deathstroke and think he has done a great job with that title. I don't think Justice League is for him.

I leave this issue tired of the bickering, tired of the fighting, and exhausted by the over explained and analyzed use of tech speak and the worlds current view on society. I leave this issue feeling depressed and like someone punched me in my throat.
