It was just an art reference. Which is why Flash only ever calls them superhero comics and never acknowledges his future self is called The Flash.
"The Justice Doom War" part two! The culmination of Lex Luthor's plan hinges on his beating the Justice League to the prize, ratcheting up the peril as the Year of the Villain continues! The Totality has shattered and its pieces have been tossed across space and time. Thus, the Justice League must also split apart, forming three search teams to comb the past, present, and future to re-combine the Totality before the Legion of Doom can get its villainous hands on the cosmic weapon. What allies will our heroes find in these other timelines? In the future, it's the Last Boy on Earth, Kamandi! But in the past, there are the familiar faces of the more
Snyder and Tynion have raised the stakes of the Justice/Doom War to the highest possible level, which is an extremely risky move. This storyline will either be a huge success or fall completely flat. Now that we're getting into the thick of the conflict, it seems as if their gamble is paying off. Read Full Review

Justice League is delivering an amazing reading experience right now and it's reminding me of some of my all-time favorite runs with an engaging major arc that's been developed since the start.

Justice League #31not only re-introduces a fan favorite team to the forefront, but it also shows what comics are capable of as an artistic medium. Based on the last few pages, it seems like the creative team is only scratching the surface of an epic story. Read Full Review
The story is enhanced in every way by the brilliant art of Jorge Jimenez. Everything is gorgeously rendered and the art gives a sense of scale, beauty and movement as the story progresses. Read Full Review
The series continues to defy expectations and leave fans clamoring for more with each new chapter.

The stakes continue to rise, as the fate of the Multiverse lies in the Legion of Doom's clutches. It's up to the Justice League and their very own "time-heist," to save the day. Read Full Review

The "Justice/Doom War" continues inJustice League #31(Snyder, Tynion IV, Jimenez). Don't miss this wild thrill ride filled with even more blasts from the past (and future!)! Read Full Review
Though it is a bit wordy, I would say part two is better than part one. Read Full Review
It's rare that an ongoing series spinning out of a major event is bigger and more epic than the event it comes from, but Snyder and Tynion's Justice League run takes the world of Dark Knights: Metal and spins it out into a saga encompassing, time, space, and alternate realities. Read Full Review
Through part two of the Justice League/Doom War, we got a better understanding of the kind of battle which has been set up by the Legion. They know exactly what they're doing, which is more than you can say for the heroes. Justice League #32 should be one to anticipate when the Legion still has no intention of allowing the League to get themselves together to easily. Read Full Review
Justice League #31 is another solid entry into the series. While the story may not be firing on all cylinders for me right now it was still a ton of fun to read and has me on board for the rest of the arc. The artwork is fantastic. The art team continues to shine throughout the issue and is a highlight of the book. Read Full Review
The Justice League book continues to feel big as we get more of the JSA and Kamandi and a fight that looks doomed for the Justice League. Something tells me they'll pull it out in the end, but Snyder and Tynion are making the journey well worth taking. Read Full Review
Justice League #31 was an absolute blast to read. It has action, adventure, stunning surprises, wild Sci-Fi concepts, crazy super-hero plot-lines, and strong character work that is all wrapped up in an entertaining story. Seriously, I have no idea what a person could want more from a super-hero comic book than what Justice League #31 delivers. This issue is just pure unadulterated fun. And that is what super-hero comic books are all about. If you still have not hopped aboard Justice League then you absolutely must do so immediately. This is a title that is always worth the cover price. Read Full Review
Snyders story is barely half done, so we have quite a long way to go before the heroes win. Im more intrigued with what is going on with the Society, but I guess thatll have to wait! Read Full Review
Justice League #31 contains a lot of fantastic moments, along with a possible explanation as to some of the...weirdness involving the various iterations of DC's future. Read Full Review
They split the party, which seems like a rookie mistake, but all three fronts have something interesting going on and the art is never anything less than interesting. Plus: The Justice Society returns! Read Full Review
Justice League #31 suffers from the same excess of standing and chatting that has plagued the previous two issues. It finishes well, though, and by the end, Jimenez and Sanchez get to do what they do best: give us beautifully-rendered, beautifully-executed visual storytelling that perfectly illustrates Snyder and Tynion's big ideas. Read Full Review
The whole Justice/Doom War is great.
Prelude:
JSA! JSA! JSA! Sorry, still very happy to see their return. But does Snyder live up to last issue's hype?
The Good:
JSA! Ok, I'll stop. Seriously, every single thing about the JSA in this issue was amazing, the interactions, callbacks, everything.
Meanwhile Snyder and Tynion are having fun with Hypertime with all the potential futures DC has. We've seen Kamandi and Justice Legion A, who knows what else we could get? Batman Beyond? Kingdom Come? There's so much potential.
Likewise what they're doing with Pearl Harbour and WW2 feels so right..... that doesn't sound good. But it's peak comic books what they're doing here.
Goes without saying at this point but Jimenez's art is on po more
My fav book DC is printing at the moment. Snyder and co are knocking it out the park. Jimenez art work is stellar as always. My main question is how will this all fit into Doomsday Clock and what is to be the future of the DC Universe? Snyder did an interview with Newsrama not to long ago and he says it will all the together but at this point I'm just gonna wait and see but I'm loving this book.
Since the first issue of this run the art has been the best thing going in comics. Snyder and Tynion's writing is pretty damn good too. 🍻
Jimenez for the win.
Wow, this event doesn't disappoint. Snyder is just having good old fashioned fun. The ww2 stuff is a pretty insane concept while also relating to the Justice League animated episode where they went back to ww2, which was great. I liked each of the three timelines, with the plots being set up for next issues. The art is fantastic as always when jimenez is drawing. Overall just a great fun issue.
I feel like I just took a big bong-full of years of DC crossovers.
I have no idea what's going on, but I'm digging it.
Quite a few interesting concepts combined together in a very well executed issue.
"Even if you kill Luthor... He will still wins if you let the Doom infect your heart."
One of the best things about this series is that I feel like I get so much out of each issue.
Though I wish Doomsday Clock had been the ones to fully introduce the Justice Society, Snyder accomplishes this nonetheless.
Will be picking up next issue.
"This is rrrhhaaa*!"
I think this issue is even wordier than the previous one, but damn it, this story is awesome.
We start with Flash and Lanter getting acquainted or re-acquainted with the Justice Society. I loved every panel of it. The Society is great and Jimenez with Sanchez makes them look incredible.
The future with the Trinity is good too, but it looks like it will get more interesting in the next issue.
We get some revelations, like who the mystery person from the last issue is, but the biggest kicker is again with the JSA. I wasn't expecting for Snyder and Tynion to do something like that.
I wonder how they will handle that, and how the JSA will deal with this situation.
*T more
I felt this issue failed to build on the intrigue and other set-up aspects as laid out in issue #30. Was hoping for more momentum and for the plot to thicken at a quicker pace - instead, the issue gets a bit too caught up in dialogue.
Solid issue overall but will be looking for issue #32 to inject some speed and movement into proceedings!
“I know the pain of losing someone close to me,” Mera says, having murdered her intimate partner and then just getting over it like it wasn’t even a thing. Also it’s like for sure canon that Flash read the original Flash’s comics, why is continuity like this?
I just have such a hard time caring about this.
First, the easy part of the review. The art is awful. It's sloppy, character faces look different from panel to panel, inking is haphazard. Is this what passes for professional these days?
I suppose the dialogue is OK considering how poorly constructed the story is. We have lots of action. We have lots of characters flying around with no semblance of connection to continuity with their home books (which probably is OK, seeing as DC has characters whose own books have no semblance of continuity to each other...). But as for plot, it feels like the writers have decided to simply add more and more and more complexity and characters to a book that is crying out for some resolutions and simplicity.
