"DROWNED EARTH" part two! The Justice League is scattered across the Seven Seas, pursued by the Ocean Lords and their army of alien mercenaries and constantly at risk of turning into fish monsters. You know, just a day at the beach. Their only hope lies in the crippled Aquaman, who believes the road to victory lies in unleashing equally vengeful gods on Earth's oceans. Meanwhile, Batman guards the Totality in the sunken Hall of Justice, where no one can attack him...or can they?

    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

    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

    Nov 12, 2018

    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.

    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

    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.

    On Comics Ground - Timothy Quail

    Nov 07, 2018

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    "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 appea 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. Th more

    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 more
