The "Justice Doom War" starts here! The Lex Luthor the League has known and fought is no more, replaced by an apex predator version of Lex, powered by Perpetua with a goal of bringing tragedy to the DC Universe. Now that Lex has powered up villains across the cosmos, he marshals his own troops, sparking a war between the Legion of Doom and the Justice League that will span space, time and the Multiverse itself. This is the start of the next big Justice League event, with consequences affecting "DC's Year of the Villain" and beyond!

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Aug 28, 2019DC easily could have made this a standalone huge mini-series event, but are wisely going the more restrained route in letting this play out in their strongest title. While it's worth checking out what's come before if you've missed it, this is the real start to what everyone's going to be talking about from the main DC universe for the rest of 2019.

But Why Tho? - CJ
Aug 28, 2019Justice League #30 masterfully brings several plot threads together while giving equal focus to both heroes and villains. It is also stunningly illustrated by one of the best artists in DC's roster. Given how the issue ends, I am more than eager to see the events of the Justice/Doom War and what effect it might have on the larger DC Universe. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Morgan Hampton
Aug 28, 2019If you haven't been reading this series so far, this is a pretty good point to jump in. As I stated, it does a good job of streamlining the conflict of the past 29 issues and clearly stating what the good guys and the bad guys want. So, if you're not a completionist like me, jump right in blind! You won't be confused. Read Full Review

Sep 03, 2019Even without the JSA, I am eager to see where this story is headed, but I am especially eager to see what role the Justice Society plays in the story, and what the story will reveal about the Justice Society's place in the post-Doomsday Clock DCU. The Justice/Doom war is definitely shaping up to be a defining moment in the history of the Justice League. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Jim Werner
Aug 28, 2019The Justice/Doom War is here and both sides are gathering an army and while Lex has the upper hand as we start, the Justice League are trying to turn the tide. It involves time travel craziness and that allows Snyder and Company to (re)introduce some awesome guest stars into the book (Universe?) and it all looks great to boot. I am so ready for my favorite heroes to start winning and I hope this is the start! Read Full Review

Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Aug 28, 2019As the start to the Justice League/Doom War, I would say that they did more than enough to kickstart what has been issues in the making. There was a good introduction into what has happened up to this point, and they quickly set the tone for what's to come through a more genuine understanding of the stakes. Then they pulled no punches showing once more that these heroes will be facing an uphill battle to turn things around in their favor. Read Full Review

Newsarama - David Pepose
Aug 28, 2019That said, Justice League #30 isn't always the easiest read to connect with " this is a big blockbuster through and through, and it's one designed to appeal to fans' sense of continuity and a larger shared universe, even if the broader core themes of justice versus doom might feel a little unwieldy upon close examination.

Batman-News - Brian Warshaw
Aug 28, 2019Justice League #30 may have a verbally-saggy middle, but the overall impression is quite positive. There's plenty of excitement surrounding that mushy center, and enough visual delights to sustain my eyes across space and time. Perhaps most importantly, there is Jarro, and I would follow that sassy starfish into the bowels of the earth"or any other bowels for that matter. Read Full Review

Prelude: The Justice/Doom War is here! Wait did I just start writing the solicit? Anyway, this is the climax of Snyder's run so Snyder and his team must land this arc. Do they live up to the hype? The Good: THE FREAKING JSA ARE BACK! Ok, got that out of my system. Also Kamandi is here too! I love Time Travel so I'm loving this and the alt timelines. Everyone is ready for war on both sides. Although Lex has made a few assumptions on some players who may not be completely on his side. Speaking of teams, Jimenez is drawing a life changing story. His pencil work has never looked better. The stakes have never been higher and it's felt throughout the issue. The Bad: More of a note on the whole Year of the Villain thing. I more

A few months ago, I was really for Year of the Villain but it began a little slowly. However, the beginning of Justice/Doom War really is a blast. Jimenez still is on another level and it is good to have Kamandi and the JSA back. I hope it will stick the landing.

Scott Snyder and team continue to amaze me with this book. I look forward to see what the outcome is to the entire run because I believe their will be some ramifications for the entire DC Universe but I'm staying along for the ride.

very good start to this event. Jorge Jimenez was greatly missed, and his art is just amazing in this issue. (DC are you listening, please bring back Super Sons in some way with Tomasi and Jimenez again). The story gets off to a fun start too, looks like it borrows from Avengers Endgame ironically with teams going to different periods in time to beat the bad guys. There is a certain spoilerish element that happens at the end that does seem exciting, and if executed correctly, would make this arc very very enjoyable and fun. The only problem that I have with this issue is how Lex is written and his motivations, he seems like a huge lackey and super willing to be a servant to Perpetua, which isn't really in line with his characterization more

Some wonky art, especially on Guy Gardner, but high marks for summing up the last year or so of Source Wall/Perpetua mumbo jumbo. Plus, a dash of Jarro, who I love.

One of my favourite issues of the current JL run so far. Can't wait to read the next issue. Huge fan of Jimenez's art and, yet again, he does not disappoint.

Great start to the Justice/Doom War story line that has been teased since the series' first issue. The parallel storytelling between both sides was fun to read, with Starman and Luthor being the standouts of the issue. Ever since Luthor got his powers, the remaining members of the Legion seem kind of useless; with their primary function being Luthor's "errand boys" (yes, Cheetah is a girl). I would like to point out that the mysterious figure (who disrupts Starman's time portals) bears resemblance to the being J'onn saw at the "End of the Omniverse" during his flash-forward back in issue 1. I think issue 31 comes out next week, so I'll definitely be whelmed (Doomsday Clock and The Green Lantern come out as well!)

"It's about time this final war between Justice and Doom began" I agree, Mr. Luthor, it took long enough but it is finally here. The intro to the war is a bit wordy but it gets interesting fast and sets the stage for awesome things to come. And with Jimenez and Sanchez having the art duties I'm sure the journey will be fun and it will look beautiful.

This was almost certainly written after Endgame came out, so that's something. I don't know, I didn't hate this issue. I just don't particularly care? I agree that this should've happened sooner since that last filler arc was such a spinning wheel. But yeah, I guess it's cool the JSA is back. It didn't really amount to much here, but maybe it will later.
