Drowned Earth keeps delivering on an epic Justice League story. The last page doesn't offer a lot of hope that Snyder is about to make things easier for the League. While that's bad news for them, it's making this arc and book essential reading for the rest of 2018. Read Full Review

Drowned Earth has been a high-quality event thus far, and this is easily its best installment yet. Snyder's themes are realized expertly in the script, and Manapul's artwork deliciously brings the tale to life. Nobody published a better book this week thanJustice League #11. Read Full Review

Snyder and Manapul continue to produce well-crafted chapters in an over-the-top Aquaman-centered story that continues to gain momentum. Read Full Review

Justice League #11is a dazzling tour de force.Snyder's bombastic script is fun and fresh, bringing a wonderful mix of high concepts and melodrama to the title. Francis Manapul might be DC's most talented artist right now, andJustice League #11 shows off his skills as both a penciller and colorist. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. I promise it's worth it. Read Full Review

If you like over-the-top, constantly evolving adventure stories, you need to be reading "Drowned Earth." Read Full Review

Manapul's art is always brilliant and I particularly like the composition of the panels. My favorite one is the final panel at the end because it encompasses so much menace. Definitely a story that has me engaged as a reader. Read Full Review

A strong second part in the event kicks it up a notch. Drowned Earth" is shaping up to be a game changer for the DC universe. Read Full Review

As Drowned Earth hits its third chapter, the second Justice League event in the last two months finds its groove and delivers its most entertaining chapter yet. Read Full Review

If you've been reading along with this storyline from the beginning, this is a great payoff issue and it's still not even the finale. Snyder is making excellent use of the Justice League, not featuring any one member so much that we get bored of seeing them, while also including lesser known league members who we yearn for but can wait for some space to develop to and flesh out good storylines for them. Read Full Review

The event moves along with some dicey turns that prove to be intriguing, if not exciting. Manapul's visuals go a long way to present some of the stark scenes contained in this issue. Read Full Review

Overall a good middle chapter to this long arc as well as an issue which felt thematically similar to those of this title which preceded it. I doubt I'll buy the non-JL issues (at least not until they hit the buck box) but I enjoyed this book on its own. Read Full Review

Justice League #11 left us bracing for the worst when these heroes are seeing exactly what can come of the world when they aren't handling their problems with haste. That is how you end up with dead gods, a flooded world, and losses at every turn because your enemy just so happens to have things a bit more figured out than you. At the end of the day it is exciting to know that heroes of this caliber can still face dangers that can put their backs against the wall. Read Full Review

Drowned Earth continues to be a thrilling ride through the sea. A reminder that superhero comics should embrace the larger than life ideas, and don't feel the need to be ashamed at what comics were, and how you can mold that for future comic readers. Read Full Review

Aquaman doesn't often get a chance to take center stage in a Justice League adventure, so it is great that this storyline allows Arthur to enjoy the limelight. It looks like Aquaman is finally being recognized as an A-list superhero. Read Full Review

I very much enjoyed the story but felt the artwork did not live up to it in this instance and the book suffered as a result. Read Full Review

Justice League #11 is full of fun action and ancient Atlantian lore. Read Full Review

Imaginative in its execution and feeling like some classic adventure and fantasy tale, Justice League #11 does a good job of moving the story along. Read Full Review

This issuereinforces to me one of the pitfalls of modern comics. ITs a single chapter ina larger story. As such, Im not terribly moved toward picking up subsequentinstallments. Casual readers may feel the same, content to wait for the trade.But if everyone felt that way, would there even be a trade to wait for? Read Full Review

This storyline is aggressively mediocre. The concept is solid but the execution is lacking. Maybe if this was streamlined into Aquaman or Justice League ONLY, it could have been a fun 3-4 issue arc. As it stands it is bloated and putting the momentum of Justice League to a halt. Feel free to skip these issues, unless you want to look at the beautiful artwork. Read Full Review

Given more space to breathe, it's possible to see this story hitting the same highs as Justice League #11, but the pressure is too great for just one issue here. Read Full Review

I find myself losing interest in this comic. Consistent problems in the script are making me feel apathetic about the whole thing. Manapul's art is gorgeous, though, and it gives me something pretty to look at. Read Full Review

It does end with a nice cliffhanger with the Legion of Doom teleporting into Batman's lair. It seems as though things will return to the previous storyline, and hopefully Snyder can make good on the teaser that was the Batman Who Laughs. Read Full Review

A needlessly epic story, another pointless end of the world story, and dull art combine to make this crossover rather boring. I wonder if Snyder hit his peak some time ago. Read Full Review

Very good issue! Amazing art! I love Jarro so much :3

Finally a good issue! Now the story is getting better!

Great follow up issue! This kind of series is just impossible not to like. The scope is amazing and the story has plenty of plot twists and threads. Batman looks kind of ridiculous in his Hoverround chair but I digress so does Jarro and he's impossible not to like so who am I to complain.

Great issue! The story progresses. As you read this issue you will be on the edge of your seat. Only downfall is the time gap between certain parts. Such as where did the three headed dog come from. Other than that this issue brings my hopes up for this story.

This is why I think Scott Synder is an average writer.

"You decaying piles of cosmic jetsam"

Nice follow up to the Justice League/Aquaman special. Stakes are rising, just like water on Earth and our heroes seem to be in a hopeless position. Obviously, they will come up on top at the end, but after a few twists in this issue, I wonder how exactly and who will lead them to victory. I vote Mera. She seems to be really determined to fix this and to prove that she is a good queen. And other heroes are either stuck in other dimensions, bound to a wheelchair or slowly turning into a fish.

I must say that I already like this story arc more than The Totality. I can't really pinpoint what it is, but this story, although also cosmic in scope, seems more grounded to me and because of that more appealing. Maybe it's because this one is more focused and Totality felt a bit all over the place or maybe I just got used to Snyder's take on the League. I don't know.

Nevertheless, this a fun story with some amazing artwork from Francic Manapul and I want to see what's next. more

The Drowned earth event has been pretty solid. The story is decent and the villains have been fun. The weakest link in the chain has been Justice League. I'm reading this series as well as Undiscovered Country, I had similar concerns with both titles. Both titles have cool concepts and are content-heavy but feel overstuffed.

One of the primary criticisms of the Disney Star Wars films is that the characters are always running around like a chicken with their heads cut off. Justice League #11 feels like that and lost a lot of entertainment value about midway through the issue. It's not the worst comic on the shelves but its easily the worst title for me in this event.

The book focuses on three fronts. Batman in the Hall of Justice. The rest of the issue splits time between Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Superman, Flash, and Mera. The villains show up and are menacing but there isn't enough time spent on any one element and it makes the entire issue feel like a mess.

This is an event that probably needed more space. The Batman stuff could have been pushed to a Batman: One-Shot or mini-series. This would have given Snyder enough room to focus the story on a couple of elements rather than several.

I don't want to be a total downer. I wasn't a fan of the interior linework and won't spend time on it The Francisco Mattina variant, on the other hand, is God-Tier. If the poster was available I would buy it immediately. The event is somewhat uneven but even with the lesser titles, Drowned Earth has been a net possible so far. more

I'm not too interested in this event. It's really not doing it for me. Which is a shame after the first few issues left me intrigued.

I don’t really care for this arc but this issue was inoffensive.

THE GOOD:

-This issue gets recognition for simply taking the steaming pile of crap that the Justice League/Aquaman special gave us and turning it into something tolerable.

-Francis Manapul has outdone himself. This could potentially be his best drawn issue. I was in awe at his depictions of the fantasy locations and characters in this issue.

-I really liked the portrayal of Poseidon in this issue. Not only that, but when I turned the page, I was genuinely shocked.

THE BAD:

-The story itself can't be fixed at this point. It is bland, and forgettable. I wasn't pulled into it at the beginning of the crossover, and I am not into it now.

-I wasn't a fan of the dialogue. It does its job in telling the story, but it feels very surface level, if you ask me.

-I do not like the last page. It shoehorned in those characters, if you read the issue, you know what I'm talking about, and I truly would have preferred if they didn't try to add too much to an already bloated crossover. more

Sabe... isso é simplesmente ruim... não sei nem o que dizer
Ele não é tão bom roteirista quanto todo mundo ama dizer ugh
