Overall, this issue is just a tiny step on a universe spanning journey of cosmic proportions. Scott Snyder not only knows exactly where this is headed but, he has the course meticulously plotted out. For my money Justice League ,under the direction of Snyder, has been consistently the most engrossing, exciting and entertaining book on the racks and I'm going back to Metal. This is the way Justice League should always be handled, its big, epic tales of heroics with nothing less than the survival of the universe hanging in the balance. Read Full Review

This issue is a great jumping-on point, as it lays out acracking good tale of heroes, invaders and an implacable threat - it'll have you on your feet, cheering for the home team! Read Full Review

I am surprised a whole space fleet could just blip around the planet without being noticed by someone beforehand. I love that a Hykraaian, like the Legionnaire Tellus, is in the crowd on the reef. So a lot to like here. Plots, subplots, main plots, and guest stars! And, as is typical of this book, a lot happens rather quickly. Buckle up your chin straps when you read this! If only I didn't need to read 4 books to get the whole tale. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder kicks off his Drowned Earth story and it's fun, feels big and looks great thanks to Francis Manapul.  I am all in and can't wait for the next issue! Read Full Review

Snyder and Manapul bring us into a new storyline with a bang! Hard hitting prelude issue, with lots of big moments and huge implications for the League. Another great issue by Snyder, with gorgeous art by master Manapul. Read Full Review

Poseidon is dead, the Source Wall is still broken, and their are long-dead gods with chips on their shoulders; what more could one ask for in an Aquaman-focused story?Justice League #10 is a well-crafted issue that teases the chaos that Snyder has planned for the DCU. Read Full Review

Manapul's art is brilliant. Both the composition of the panels and the vibrancy of the colors make the art sync perfectly with the tone of this story. Great issue. Read Full Review

This was a good setup that definitely had me looking forward to where Snyder is going to take this storyline. Over the years, Justice League writers have penned some quality Atlantis attack stories, but Snyder quickly shows his version won't seem derivative thanks to his fresh approach. Read Full Review

Justice League #10is a fantastic prelude, setting the stage for what looks like a fun story. Snyder weaves a beautiful tale of intrigue, pulling on both Greek and Atlantian myth. Manapul brings Snyder's imagination to life with the artistic mastery of a comic book legend.Justice League #10is astoundingly fun and breathtakingly gorgeous. Also, did I mention there were Aquazombies? Check. It. Out. Read Full Review

The prelude to “Drowned Earth” makes your mouth water with thirst quenching art from Francis Manapul, while simultaneously convincing you how dope Space Krakens are. Read Full Review

A good issue, but more of an Aquaman lead-in than a Justice League adventure. Read Full Review

Overall: Justice League #10 is an excellent read. Snyder has picked the intensity up on the title with the debut of the Drowned Earth event. Drowned Earth looks like it is going to be an absolute blast. Justice League is still the best super hero title on the market right now. If you like well plotted and complex stories with plenty of fun super-hero action and adventure then you definitely need to start reading Justice League. Read Full Review

If you're not interested in the Drowned Earth crossover, this issue isn't for you because it's literally just set-up. If you're not quite sure if you want to get into it or not, I can assure you that this is a well written, well-paced, beautifully drawn issue that has actually made me kind of hyped for the crossover. Then again Metal also started awesomely, so" I guess we'll see. So far though, I recommend it. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder has clearly put a lot of thought and planning into his run on Justice League"not just in what he wants to happen, but how. His ideas are mature, but so is his structure and technique, and he's being paired with artists who are more than capable of transmuting these elements into artwork that is both aesthetically delightful and functionally sophisticated. In short, these books have been some of the best-looking, best-working comics on the stands for months now. They are the all-too-rare union of well-developed ideas and remarkably able hands, and I don't expect things to slow down any time soon. If "The Totality" showed us that Justice League is back, Drowned Earth seems poised to show us that Justice League is here to stay. Read Full Review

"Drowned Earth" looks to be Snyder's first stab at a classic JL tale. He's got a great voice for every character, a fresh and interesting premise, and gorgeous art by Francis Manapul. Justice League #10 is a superb opening number for what looks to be a very promising crossover story. Read Full Review

A great jumping off point for DC's new event. Read Full Review

DC's next event kicks off here and it's not looking good for Earth. Read Full Review

I like that Snyder's League is bringing in auxiliary members like Firestorm and Adam Strange (who helps Superman and Flash on a mission involving Volcano Man). Read Full Review

Justice League #10 gives us very little room to breathe as the flood gates were quite literally blown open. While I did have questions about what got us to this point at the start of the issue, there was no overlooking the thrill in these heroes once again facing a threat that will take some extraordinary means to overcome. Read Full Review

Whilst the story is interesting it seems that when writers want to write team books, there is often an over-dependence on alien invasion storylines. This is Snyder’s second arc but is also the second alien invasion or attack on planet that we have encountered. Manapaul’s artwork is fantastic, especially in his design of the backgrounds and also the monsters. Whilst I enjoyed it, I would hope that in future arcs Snyder doesn’t rely on this common trope. Read Full Review

Snyder is a well of creativity that is ensuring the future of DC's shared universe by creating events with big stakes, no obvious solutions and, inevitably, lasting consequences. With Manapul backing up his work with stellar visuals, Justice League is the best its been in years. Read Full Review

All in all I really enjoyed this book and it makes me excited for the “Drowned Earth” event. Read Full Review

If there's one thing this issue left me with, it was the need to see more. I want to know more about the invaders. With their awesome designs, I hope they come with equally awesome backstories. I want to see Superman and Flash do more than just fruitlessly search for the Legion of Doom. I'm certain the next issue will deliver in spades. I trust Scott Snyder implicitly at this point. This issue just serves to whet your appetite while tantalizing bigger things to come in a couple weeks. Read Full Review

This story is a strange mix of science fiction, throwing gods, magic, and aliens together to produce a cataclysmic threat to the Earth. With other writers, this just might make a mess that doesn't any sense, but Snyder has tied these elements into a unique threat to challenge the League. This promises to be crossover event like no other. Read Full Review

It introduces the threats, twists, and stakes for what is to come within the consistent tone of Justice League, never disrupting the series rhythm for the sake of the larger picture. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder sets a promising start to this new arc. Read Full Review

With great art as always, Justice League #10 certainly set up some fresh ground (or rather water) to explore. Read Full Review

If you are really into Aquaman, you might like this issue more than I did. I admit that the general concept is fun, but the execution seems fragmented in this new crossover event. This would have been better focused in Justice League alone, or Aquaman alone. Hopefully something comes of this story, more than the obvious editorial mandate to catch on the Aquaman train while it is hot. Read Full Review

This issue had an interesting setup that has yet to be determined how it will flush out (pun very much intended). With the most beautiful art you'll find on shelves, I highly recommend you check this one out. Read Full Review

Alot to take in. But it's all quality

Strong start for an event, with a healthy amount of worldbuilding.

Amazing beginning for a huge story arc. Not only we get insight into Earth's history and legends known among Atlanteans and Amazons, but everything organically leads to current events. I'm sold.

What an issue that wasn't expecting! I thought the bad guys of this story would be the Legion of Doom, but the Invaders from the past, caught me by surprised in a good way. The art I really enjoyed. Did enjoy finding out that people can get turned into these fish monsters. But boy does Scott Snyder like to make Batman a dick, that's two issues in a row. Looking forward to reading whats next in this story

I was not excited for this crossover when it was announced but after reading this I may be wrong. 😌

How sad is it that I'm still reviewing comics from 2018. I know its weird but I truly feel that It's worth my time because comics are in a rough spot in 2019, and maybe you've missed this issue or any other on this blog. Maybe it inspires you to visit your local comic shop and pick up the issue or trade. 

Drowned earth is a pretty obvious Aquaman centric story. This issue was released in advance of the Billion dollar movie and works as an introduction of the character to new readers and advance the Justice League vs Legion of Doom that has been going on since the beginning of the series. 

I've never been a big Aquaman fan. Not because I dislike the character I'm just fairly new to DC comics and never got into him. The material I've seen featuring the character has been decent and this issue is no different. 

The gist of the plot is that invaders from cosmic oceans come to earth to invade and begin flooding the planet. Aquaman and the League must deal with it. 

It's a serviceable plot and nothing stands out as bad but the story feels kinda generic. I feel like we won't remember drowned earth about a year from now other than as a random arc. 

As an intro its solid. I had fun seeing Adam Strange and Firestorm even though they don't get much to do. They get the best lines of the issue. The art is okay but nothing depicted in the issue is particularly memorable. The story may get better but I'm not expecting much. The issue feels like filler and I'm getting the impression that the arc may be as well. 

Sorry, I can't give much of an in-depth review but there isn't much here other than a McGuffin search and a cliffhanger ending. 

Hopefully, we'll have more meat to discuss in the next part to this story arc.  more

This was good enough. Although, I found it very predictable.

"I'll show myself out"

Drowned Earth starts here and it's shaping to be an interesting event. A covenant of space sea gods is trying to literally sink the planet and it looks like Luthor and his Legion pals might have something to do with it. Why, how is legendary Atlantian hero connected to it and how the League will stop them? I hope that Mistah Snyder will provide satisfying answers to these questions.

Also, I have to give credit to the writer for using other heroes, not only relying on the core members. Last issue cafeteria scene was much fun, but here we can actually see other heroes interact and fight alongside the main leaguers.
But there is one thing that bugs me. I am not a fan of the joker Flash. I'm not gonna write here about Snyder "not understanding the character" or other nonsense like this, I would just prefer for Barry to be a little more serious and back down on the lava puns.

And as always it is good to see Francis Manapul doing the art. Whatever he draws it looks great. more

Well written, but distracting as it comes in the middle of the big Totality storyline Snyder was telling.
I’m not a big fan of that story as it seems to be the Lex Luthor story more than a Justice League epic, but well.
The story is well paced, well told, well written with welcome apoearances by Firestorm and Adam Strange.
However, this doesn’t seem to be more than your standard equivalent to alien invasion or Atlantis attacks story

Oh no these aliens trying to take over the world I wonder what will happen.

Batman continua tosco, mas todo o resto teve uma leve melhorada

Exposition crushes any possible tension or characterization.

THE GOOD:

-Great art. Not unexpected. Francis Manapul is a great artist.

-Jarro speaks for itself.

-Okay, I liked the end. It made me want to read the rest of the crossover, despite an overall weak issue. Nicely done.


THE BAD:

-Why are they looking for Poseidon's ship again? Either it was previously introduced, but in a forgettable way, or it wasn't and they just made the premise for this issue up out of nowhere.

-I wasn't a fan of the writing. The humor was bad across the board, and the dialogue did not feel natural in any way.

-Very weak characters. I think the Justice League movie made the characters more compelling. And that's saying something, because I was not a fan of the Justice League movie.

-This issue was way too rushed. Maybe even mores than issue 1 of Justice League Odyssey, one of the most rushed issues in recent memory.

-This is supposed to be an introduction to the crossover, but as far as I can tell, it appears to already be starting the crossover. Maybe Snyder decided to get a head start? more

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 4.
-1 because: the art was distractingly bad.
-1 because the dialog was just bad.
-1 because: it was confusing.
+1 because: worth seeing what happens, I guess...
