Let's take a trip to "Hawkworld" in part one of a new Totality-related storyline! Martian Manhunter, John Stewart and Hawkgirl avoided "Drowned Earth" with a detour to Thanagar-Prime: J'onn looks to tap into the ancient Martian mental database, GL struggles while practicing his new UV powers, and Kendra searches for answers about her connection to the Totality.

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Dec 19, 2018

    Snyder in particular has been smart about not abandoning characters from the pre-Flashpoint and New 52 era. That really comes into play this issue with the shocking return of a character no one saw coming. Justice League continues to show that DC finally has the right creative team on the book with fun and exciting adventures that show no sign of slowing down. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Robert Struble Jan 2, 2019

    The creative team did wonders for this new storyline, especially focusing on Leaguers that arent usually in the spotlight. The art is fantastic and the story is filled with intrigue and mystery. Its a great chapter and if you havent been reading Justice League, maybe nows the time. Read Full Review

    Comicsverse - Raphael Soohoo Dec 19, 2018

    Tynion and Snyder team up to tell an intriguing mystery on Thanagar Prime. Nothing is as it seems. Cheung's art is brief but great; Segovia does a very good job with the bulk of the art duties. Read Full Review

    Even though this issue is a bit low on action and big on talk, it was entirely compelling, and I found myself just breezing through it. Read Full Review

    A slightly unbalanced and unexciting issue that nonetheless gives us strong character moments and sets up some very interesting stuff moving forward. Read Full Review

    Black Nerd Problems - Morgan Hampton Dec 17, 2018

    If you missed Hawkgirl, John Stewart, and Martian Manhunter the past few issues, this story is here to make sure it was all worth it. The Secret ofHawkworld provides new history, fragmented origins and some deep, dark secrets that promise to make this arc a linchpin of the overarching story Snyder and Co. are crafting.

    Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze Dec 19, 2018

    Justice League #14 is an issue worth looking forward to when we are getting back to the mystery of the Totality. Side stories and Drowned Earth were cool, but this is where our investment in this book truly lies. So far, “Hawkworld” has flipped everything you thought you knew about the Hawkman/Hawkgirl history right on its head. In a good way of course. Nothing ventured, nothing gained for these heroes.

    DC Comics News - Derek McNeil Dec 20, 2018

    After the non-stop action of the previous story arcs, the slower pace of this issue was a nice respite before things get crazy again next issue. Snyder and Tynion have certainly re-established the Justice League core title as DC's foremost team book. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Bryant Lucas Dec 21, 2018

    After so many issues focused on "Drowned Earth", Justice League #14 feels fresh in its shift in focus. It's nice to finally see what Martian Manhunter, Jon Stewart, and Hawkgirl had been up to on Thanagar. Justice League continues in its excellence, as Snyder's story slowly unfolds into a cosmic epic that will surely impact the DCU for years to come. Give this one a read. Read Full Review

    Comicosity - Terrence Sage Dec 19, 2018

    Justice League #14 focuses on a different kind of a trio of our heroes that finally begins to uncover the secrets of the Multiverse and what it means for them. The story from Snyder and Tynion puts the spotlight back on previous locations seen in Metal and events of the current Justice League run, making everything feel apart of the grand design the writers have in place. With art from Segovia and Cheung that gives their respective section the unique feeling they deserve, the issue sets up the adventure on Hawkworld quite nicely. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Dec 19, 2018

    The opening and closing give this issue pop, but it's hard to totally love the issue when the rest is slow and lengthy in its delivery. If you're interested in the Totality and the larger story you're going to need to read this. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Brian Warshaw Dec 19, 2018

    Scott Snyder's breaks from Justice League always remind me how good it is when he's on. Tynion doesn't quite maintain Snyder's level of quality in dialogue, but he still tells a pretty good story, the artwork is great, and I enjoyed Justice League #14 overall. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Hussein Wasiti Dec 19, 2018

    Anyone burned out by the crazy action of the last few months will find a lot to like here. The overall pace worked for me and the characters were handled very well. The art was very good and this seems like a good point to jump onto this book. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Dec 19, 2018

    This issue puts the breaks on the story by dumping information at the reader and while some of it was needed, some of it just gummed up the works.  The art and cliffhanger were great, but the story leading up to it was not. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Corbin Pool Dec 21, 2018

    Nice setup here, but very little happens to progress the plot. After my disappointment with Drowned Earth, I was hoping for a bit more with this arc. Hopefully, the next issue delivers. Read Full Review
