Clearly a TV/Movie fan. First of all, the story is not called Infinity War, it is called Infinity Gauntlet and it is from 1991. It wasn't an original idea at the time, the concept of collecting objects to gain power was done several times before in countless stories... some of which being saturday morning cartoons like Transformers. Some notable examples are Dragon Ball which has the 7 Dragon Balls and started in 1984. Zelda which had the 3 pieces of the Triforce, medallions, and the M. Sword.

Black Nerd Problems - Morgan Hampton
Aug 07, 2019As we head into the "Justice/Doom War," Snyder, Tynion IV, Redondo, and Jarro refresh our memories on the past few years of the DC Universe in a way that still manages to flesh out the characters of the story- especially some of the ones lacking exposure. Read Full Review

Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Aug 07, 2019Justice League #29 may have been all about Jarro, but it was also one of the most engaging issues for diving into the fortitude a hero must achieve when faced with a crisis. These are the moments that genuinely define a hero, and Jarro has found his as an entity that was once called a conqueror. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Aug 07, 2019As the final warm up, this was not the lead-in I thought we'd be getting, which made for a fun detour before the war gets underway. Year of the Villain's main title is building to some major storylines so it should be an exciting few months. Read Full Review

Aug 07, 2019Jarro is a fun character that easily could have wound up like Dex-Starr " a novelty that's trotted out to applause on occasion " but this issue indicates that Tynion might have much more nuanced plans. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Brian Warshaw
Aug 07, 2019Justice League #29's recapping is, at times, a slog; but the Star of this show is Jarro, and no Starro has ever shone brighter. At its peaks, this book is hilarious, action-packed, and even heartwarming"and that's more than enough to make up for the valleys. Even if you don't make a habit of buying Justice League, this one is worth it all by itself. Read Full Review

Aug 08, 2019Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV are able to lay out big plot points of the last couple of years while indulging some of Jarro's fantasies and it makes for a funny, heartfelt break from the usual big picture plot machinations we get in Justice League. Read Full Review

Great solid issue. This Justice League run continues to be my favored compared to Marvel's team book Avengers (which is still solid, just not as good as this). Only gripe I have with this story wise is it's filler until #30, the start of the doom war. Art is pretty good, but gonna be happy when Jorge Jimenez is back. Onto Doom War!

Jarro es un personaje increÃble, no solo por su historia, como nos lo cuenta este número, sino por su capacidad de romper la dinámica de la Liga y crear un ambiente totalmente nuevo. Ah, y sÃ, se viene la guerra. Pero Jarro, el mejor Robin de la historia, lo tiene bajo control (en realidad no).

"For justice, you turds!" So. Much. Exposition. Jarro's affinity for everything Batman was amusing but after this issue, the hug and everything leading up to it, the novelty of it is starting to wear out. We do get a quick summary of all that happened with Metal, No Justice and everything else up to this point and I appreciate it, because, honestly, I can't remember why Lex wants to turn the whole universe towards Doom. C'mon, let's just finally star that Justice/Doom War.

This issue doubles down on in-series continuity going back to the beginning of this run with Starro knockoff "Jarro" and a blatant ripoff of Marvel's Infinity War with seven forces being hel together in a relic that will allow the Multiverse to change forever. Layer in the Justice League versus the Legion of Doom and you pretty much have the story. I've reconciled myself that this is the creative team that DC has chosen for this book, and this is the story they've chosen to tell. I don't like the story itself -- the Monitor and Anti-Monitor have been cheapened over the years since Crisis on Infinite Earths, and now they're bit players. Past that, I don't think that the author tells the story particularly well - both overuse of dense n more
