DC Comics News - Derek McNeil
Jun 20, 2018In the wake of Metal and No Justice, Justice League appears to be the core book of what DC is calling the "New Justice" family, which will also contain Justice League Odyssey, Justice League Dark, and Titans. For better or worse, this puts this title at the forefront of the DCU. And based on the first two issues, I think we're in for a hell of a ride. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Rick Lopez
Jul 02, 2018While implementing one new concept after the next and building to the overall landscape of the DC universe, Snyder and Jimenez expertly craft a developed Justice League run for the ages. As more titles continue to spin out from Justice League: No Justice in July, Snyders flagship title remains at the top of readers pull lists this summer. Read Full Review

Comicsverse - Aaron Berkowitz
Jun 20, 2018JUSTICE LEAGUE #2 is loads of fun from start to finish. It captures the essence of Silver Age DC books while also adding something fresh to the mix. Scott Snyder embraces the ridiculousness of superhero comics, to the book's benefit. Jorge Jimenez backs this up with fantastically stylized art that fits the plot to a T. Read Full Review

Jun 20, 2018So far, two issues in and this series is everything that's been promised. They swing for the fences, and we reap the benefits. Justice League is epic, personal, mysterious, and authentic. This feels like it's gonna shape up to be a definitive run. Read Full Review

Jun 23, 2018A fantastic jumping on point for new readers, the new Justice League series is top notch across the board, setting up events that could effect the DC universe as a whole, or serve to show how the new leagues are formed, either way, I'm really excited for what the future brings!

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Jun 19, 2018Justice League #2 follows up the masterful first issue excellently. The comic is still tons of fun while knowing how to have serious moments. The villains are full of personality. The tantalizing plot is advanced enough so that the comic doesn't feel like it's lagging. The art is unique and great. Hopefully writer Scott Snyder can keep up the great work. Read Full Review

GWW - Deron Generally
Jun 19, 2018Snyder has done a great job of telling a big story through the seemingly narrow focus of two characters, Lex and J'onn. I also like that both teams are still dealing with personal and professional issues and the series is setting up some great mysteries, especially with Barry and the Speed Force as well as what Lex really knows and what's he's willing to reveal in his quest for truth. Also, the way the story stays new while reminding readers that it is a progression from Metal to No Justice to Justice League is great. It continues building on a world and characters that readers have embraced since Rebirth. Jimenez' art is stellar and every panel is great to look at both in camera angle and details.

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jun 20, 2018This is the kind of Justice League run where it feels like something huge, cosmic, and devastating is coming, and a team like this is truly necessary. It could be too driven by action, but so far Snyder's characterization is top-notch. Read Full Review

Impulse Gamer - Andrew Bistak
Jun 20, 2018Add in some fun twists like Sinestro and our "favourite" Martian in a place of prominence again and this is definitely my Justice League that when matched with the art of Jorge Jiminez really draws you from start to finish and helps showcase a universe bigger then what we thought with the characters that we all love.

Comic Book Bin - Deejay Dayton
Jun 24, 2018The existence of the other new Leagues is slightly referenced, enough that it is clear that there will be some overlap between the books, and I suppose between the League and the Titans as well, given the events of the Titans Special. That takes co-ordinating to pull off effectively, but the payouts can be great when it works. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - James Portis
Jun 29, 2018Justice League #2 is a solid continuation from a powerful first issue. It picks the ball up and builds upon what was already set while not blowing the doors off too early. The interactions with the different members of the league feel great, and with them being the centerpiece of this "New Justice" initiative, they are slowly feeling like the epicenter of the DC universe again and I love it. Combine that with the return of the Legion of Doom, I'm excited for more. This is definitely a good read and it's surely worth the pickup. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Jul 02, 2019Justice League is a pretty packed book here with what it does and it's effective. It's not a quick read where you feel like you didn't get your money's worth and there's lots of re-read value in to pick up on clues and just admire the great artwork. I like the look of the book this time around and the character interpretations but I'm not exactly thrilled by the Ultraviolet Lanterns nor the whole Fantastic Journey aspect and what that could portend since it mostly just comes across as goofy in a bad way. But it has potential, I'll admit, and I'm curious to see what it'll do with it. Read Full Review

Jun 20, 2018While I was initially afraid to read this issue because I wasn't fully on board with what we got for our first installment, this story quickly got me on the trolley with its ideas for what the DCU will look like going forward...or at least until we fix the Source Wall. Either way, we get some awesome interactions and art throughout this issue and some really cool twists to the Universe you thought you knew. Check it out. Read Full Review

Jun 20, 2018It's not quite as impressive as the first issue, but Justice League #2doesn't have to be, either. Strong writing and expert visual storytelling make for a compelling read, and the focus on Lex Luthor continues to pay dividends. His charismatic arrogance is fun to read and to see. If heroes are only as good as their villains, then the Justice League might just be the best around. Read Full Review

Flickering Myth - Ricky Church
Jun 21, 2018Justice League #2 builds on the momentum of the first issue very well as Snyder does some great character work on the heroes and villains and introduces more crazy elements to the story. Jimenez and Sanchez's art is great to just look at whether its a character standing still or mid-movement. It's definitely a promising start to one of DC's flagship titles in this new run.

Doom Rocket - Brendan F. Hodgdon
Jun 22, 2018Scott Snyder has been steadily upping his game throughout his tenure at DC, telling more epic stories as he goes. Justice League is a great continuation of this trend; the Morrisonian bombast is colored with Snyder's particular brand of dread and danger, his layered storytelling still unimpeachable. While this second issue does feel like the connective tissue to more consequential chapters, it still does so much so well. Definitely check this series out, folks. It more than earns its status as a tentpole DC title. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Joey Edsall
Jun 20, 2018This feels like the weak issue of a good arc, and with how many storyline elements Snyder has at play at once, there's an incredible number of directions that the story can go from this early point. That, combined with how good the stronger moments of this issue are, make Justice League #2 a fun, if sometimes frustrating read. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - Timothy Quail
Apr 18, 2019An interesting sidebar into the origins of the DC Universe. This is a dense comic that will not have you at the edge of your seat, but will fill in some much needed blanks in the Justice League's run. Not all choices seem to benefit the new status quo, but overall this comic shows one step back and a few steps forward. There is more to like here than not. Read Full Review

Maybe I was to harsh with the first issue, despite a bad start in this second part, I really enjoy reading it. So festival yeah I have a issue with the fact Lionel have a secret door with the martian symbol on it. And That in a total accident, Lex find it. But I really like all the part about Batman (Thanks to swamp Thing) try to convince John to join the team. I also like more what happen with the doom Legion (Love the Cheetah touch ^^ ) ... I was laughing when suddenly Flash choose that he will let this mission pass ^^ And I was convinced by Hawkgirl (I was very hard on Snyder with her because I loved the JSA incarnation). The fact that luthor use himself a decoy (Doom Style) was nice ... But that don't explain how he succeed to be in s more

Another solid entry in this relaunch. I really like the team dynamic developing and Martian Manhunter is a remarkable team leader for the Justice League. His inner monologue is great and my hope is to see another shot at solo series for him. Snyder still likes to make stuff up on the fly though. Cosmic membrane? What I don't like about the events after Metal and No justice is that there is a lot of talking about the changes sci-fi word vomit to describe things and that feels forced. The stories around it like justice league and Titans is really great though and this issue is no exception. The cast is pretty large but Snyder is doing a good job of focusing on characters that don't get a lot of page time. This book looks to be the series that more

Então, estou cada vez mais curioso sobre o que tá rolando, isso é ótimo! Depois do que li em All-Star Batman, tive receio que está HQ não fosse metade do que eu esperava do Snyder. Fico feliz de estar errado.

So far, Snyder has all my attention - I definitely enjoy what was shown to us in the first two issues, and look, heck, crave for more. This is a really strong start, and hopefully the series will keep its momentum. There's everything you could ask for, and more, including new lantern corps which I can't wait to understand, to explore their mythos. We're in for a ride...

Snyder is one of my all time favs. New 52 Batman is near perfect. So far Justice League is pretty good but I feel like I dont really have that emotional connection to it yet. For some reason with most Justice League series it's all action action action and I feel no connection with the characters. Maybe that's why I liked Snyders Batman and the new Bendis Superman so much, it delves deeper into the character and gives them depth. I dont know, maybe I'm just not a big Justice League fan in general for that reason. But aside from that the story and the story telling is good so I'm sticking with this

Snyder is going full-cosmic, of course - but I think the whole UV element is really fun. It's nice to see him playing with omniscience narration. Jimenez is THISclose to my favorite artist out there right now, and I am looking forward to him being on JL (even if his Martian Manhunter was odd...nobody's perfect).

7.0
I'm going to start by saying that I want Jorge Jimenez to draw as many books as it is humanly possible. He is amazing at his craft. Each character looks unique and different and the action looks just grand. Just one little thing. Please make Martian Manhunter a little more beefed up. When he looks all slender and slick it's just wrong. As for the story it's good, but not great. It gets a bit convoluted at times. It feels like Snyder is trying to put too much story, too much plot points into a single issue and not even one of these points gets explored enough. Same goes for characterizations of some characters, heroes mostly. Sometimes they seem spot on and sometimes the exact opposite. Kendra and Barry seemed really odd in this issue. B more

Scott Snyder's plots are a bit too complicated, convoluted and not all that clever, in my opinion. I've purchased every comic that he's put out over the last eight years, and I feel that his last strong effort was the Court of Owls storyline. There is nothing particularly witty about his writing that makes this story compelling either. the art, however, in this book Is terrific, hence the score.
-
5.0
Snyder's writing isn't for me. I think he needs to slow things down a bit and take his time. I'm disappointed that I haven't enjoyed his Justice league work. I'm happy to have this version of the Justice League back, but Snyder's writing just doesn't do it for me. On the bright side the art is really nice.
