Better to pick up the trades and start at the beginning, if possible. But if it isn't, this is a fine first issue for seeing what you've been missing. Easily one of DC Comics' strongest titles right now. Read Full Review

The Legion of Doom are out here comin' with all the smoke like an underground group trying to get signed to a record deal by putting out the hottest mixtape the streets have seen in years. Their schemes? Flawless. Their execution? Airtight. Their style and charisma? Toxic. They bodied the Justice League this issue without even directly throwing a single punch. Meanwhile, the Justice League is out here hiring ghost-writers for their response track. Read Full Review

Justice League #35 marks a turning point in the Justice/Doom War, as Perpetua reigns supreme. Even though it features universe ending stakes, this book stands out because of the investment it makes in its characters, both good and evil. If characters are the engine that drives a story, then the Justice League is going to need a tune-up before facing an eldritch goddess. Read Full Review

We now know that this is the final arc of this run before Snyder transitions to a bigger project, and it's certainly going out with a bang. Read Full Review

Overall this sixth installment in the "Justice/Doom War" event is quite something. If you like your stories huge in scope and centered firmly on good vs. evil you'll have a great time with this. The fact that Snyder and Tynion have pulled off one hell of a villainous choice--one that might rival any act of violence by any villain ever--and you can see we're reading one of the most significant stories in DC Comics history.

Final Verdict: make sure you have a box of tissues nearby when you read this one. It's that good. Read Full Review

After being a bit underwhelmed lately, this issue gets me back on board.  Snyder and Tynion up the stakes and finally show us what Perpetua is capable of doing.  Plus, we find out how she plans to keep her power and it all makes sense in such a devious way.  Throw in Francis Manapul art and there is a lot to like in this issue.

All in all, Justice League #35 is one big celebration of doom, and the villains are preparing to do their victory lap across the multiverse. Now it will matter more than anything to see how these heroes find a way to turn things around. This isn't your average defeat. So one hopes this creative team really thought through where these heroes actually have room to rise up. Read Full Review

Justice League #35 is the link between two large chunks ofJustice/Doom War, but it's essential material. Snyder and Manapul draw us closer to our heroes as we see the emotional impact of their failure, and the road ahead only looks tougher. 35 issues in, andJustice League is still essential reading.

The Justice/Doom War continues. This issue is a bit of a stop gap that allows the League to catch their breath, as The Legion of Doom destroys an entire universe. At the end of this book you will wonder how The Justice League will get out of this one. Read Full Review

It is really such a shame it took me this long to get into Justice League, but I am glad I did and look forward to seeing how Snyder and Tynion plan to end their series before they both depart the series in December. This series also gives me a lot of hope for when Tynion takes over Batman from current writer Tom King and I can not wait to see what’s next from Snyder. Overall, I highly recommend picking this issue up and you can see for yourself what its like to see the bad guys win. Justice League #35 is on sale now so pick it up at your local comic shop or purchase it from your favorite online retailer. Read Full Review

Snyder still has 4 more issues to give this some real emotional weight. I have faith in my comics that he can do it. Now if youll excuse me, I have to go cry over the death of Superior Spider-man. Read Full Review

While this issue still has the same recurring problems as past issues (too many characters that seem to just be around as window dressing and don't really contribute much or have a real distinct voice), I think that this was a necessary respite from the action that sets up the next step of this mega-arc.

"All will be well..."

I don't know if it's because this whole arc has been pretty fun or because this issue made a good job of showing it, but I just now realized how big are the stakes in this story. I mean, everything, literally everything is on the line.

That's crazy.

One small thing though. Isn't the Crime Syndicate dead? Last time I checked, they were. So how the heck are they on Earth 3 in this issue, huh? Good thing it has no relevance to the story.

Wait, lol, they have to destroy each universe one by one? I was under the impression once Perpetua was super mega awesome powerful again, she'd just remake everything in an instant. This issue's first half was pretty good, honestly. The Gotham by Gaslight part was fun for me. The second half with Hawkgirl is a hard pass. I don't like Hawkgirl or her weird future child.

Dear Scott Snyder,

Why did you have to include Earth 3 in the page with the reactions to Doom's victory? I thought that everyone was clear after Bendis fucked up with his little "Superboy-wormhole-Crime-Syndicate-in-the-past" bullshit, but you just had to mess it up again didn't you!

So I guess Forever Evil didn't happen now? One of the best line-wide events in the decade has just been erased from continuity just for this little mention?

I don't care if you destroyed the Gotham by Gaslight universe, orif you showed my boy Catman, or if you did a little Watchmen reference at the beginning of the book, I just want my MAZAHS!

Besides that, the art was good but the plot was just set up. more

i think dc is a mess currently with continuity, literally so much stuff in the past year has been retconned or ignored

I think it's nothing more than just an oversight. One small panel, that has really no relevance to the story. Still, it's worth pointing out. Shouldn't the editor or someone catch things like that? And yes, Forever Evil was awesome.

The pacing has felt really wonky. At the end of 34, it felt really rushed but now they've slowed it back down again. Not my favorite art but the Earth-19 bit was a highlight.

Please just… just kill them all. I want this to be over.

why is everyone still letting him write this shit？
