What is hidden in the darkest depths of the ocean and farthest reaches of space doesn't even compare to the insidious secrets buried in the pasts of Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter! While the rest of the League battles to save their friends before all of reality unravels, the citizens of Earth make a startling decision...to join the Legion of Doom!
Although we are only four issues into this run it is very quickly becoming my favorite on-going title. It delivers on all fronts, it's entertaining, it's verbose and imaginative. Snyder gives us heaping amounts of new and exciting elements without discarding what has made Justice League the greatest team title in comic book history. The balance of tone between darker elements and lighter moments is precise giving this book a depth not equaled by anything on the racks today. If you are looking for that one book that encapsulates everything we love about superhero comic books, the wait is over. Pick it up. Read Full Review
Justice League hasn't come close to disappointing yet. This book hits all the sweet spots from its early days the anything goes Grant Morrison style and top tier lineup from the Geoff Johns era. Justice League has quickly ascended to the role of DC's flagship title and looks to firmly keep that spot locked up for the foreseeable future. Read Full Review
I loved how this issue gives the Justice League more of a backseat. Instead, we get treated to the Legion of Doom's perspective. The first couple of panels giving us some insight into Gorilla Grodd's mindset were absolutely chilling, and they were excellent for setting the stage for what's to come. Read Full Review
Snyder has ramped the stakes up to an unprecedented level. It's like the League was having to deal with two or three Crisis-level events simultaneously. Doing so is something of a risk, but it's definitely paying off.Snyder has returnedJustice League back to its rightful place as a cornerstone title of the DC lineup. Read Full Review
Just when you thought that the situation couldn't get any worse for the already-failing members of the Justice League, writer Scott Snyder manages to pour salt in their wounds and remove any last slivers of hope. Justice League (2018-) #4 is an impressive issue and offers a genuinely exciting reading experience. Read Full Review
That is a lot of story. I am really rocked by this series and how much Snyder and Jimenez are stuffing into the pages. There are such wild images to see here. From the Lantern ring shattering, to the Keep floating in a sanctuary, to Aquaman/Diana punching each other, to Grodd looking like a dad carrying his baby around the mall, this whole thing is bananas. Bananas in the best way. Seven primal forces, the Multiverse on Earth, Umbrax the living sun ... it all has to come together. For my sanity, I hope so. Read Full Review
Four issues into the run and we have excellent pacing, fantastic art, amazing layouts, reasons that can be explained, action, adventure, a task for almost every member of the Justice League, and it's just a fun read. Yes! If you haven't added it yet, you're just late to the party now. Read Full Review
Jorge Jimenez's art is both brilliant in its detail and surreal in its beauty, especially in the backgrounds and space scenes. He has a great use of focus in many of the scenes, but leaves so much visually to consume that you are able to take in the focus and enjoy the backgrounds equally. This is definitely a series that continues to grab my attention with each issue. Read Full Review
Scott Snyder obviously has an amazing plan for the DC Universe, and every fan should be reading. Read Full Review
Justice League #4 displays the book's balance as more characters are explored without sacrificing the other things that make this series work so well. If we've learned anything other than the fact that Snyder is reaching for GOAT status with this book " it's that Justice League is a model of consistency. Read Full Review
Thats not a bad thing, and the art does make the most of it. The tale ends with a particularly eerie illustration by Jimenez. The colouring, by Alejandro Sanchez, is critical for pulling off the mood of the finale. Read Full Review
The Source Wall, the Totality, the Multiverse " have the stakes ever been higher? Read Full Review
Justice League #4 is a team book that's fun to look at and fun to read. Snyder is at his best when he can play in wild scenarios and churn out enticing conversation, which is exactly the writing in this issue. Sanchez balances the three pronged storytelling with his thoughtful colors. Each character looks distinctly their own thanks to Jimenez. Their personality is infused into their appearances. The hype around these books is absolutely justified, and a must buy for DC fans. Read Full Review
Continues to be compelling on all levels. Read Full Review
Overall, I really liked this issue and I cannot wait to read the next issue and see how Snyder gets the justice league to defeat the legion of doom. The art by Jimenez was fantastic and really proves why he is considered to be a superstar artist. With the source wall breaking it’s interesting how Snyder is trying to expand not only the justice league mythos but the individual mythos of each character. Read Full Review
Steadily building since No Justice, this fourth issue feels like a real climax to the story so far, even though we still have at least two issues left in this opening arc. But even just as a single issue, #4 succeeds thanks to titanic artwork, a clever script, and truly huge stakes for DC's A-listers. Read Full Review
Please check into this issue and the previous few (at least) if you haven't already. The art continues to be out of this park and perfectly matching the overall aura and environment of this creative team and the League they have assembled. Read Full Review
Scott Snyder has been all over the map in terms of genres in his time at DC, covering horror, adventure, coming-of-age, and even philosophical epic. But he's never quite done widescreen comic book action until now, and Justice League #4 is the blockbuster showdown to end all blockbuster showdowns. Read Full Review
Jorge Jimnez continues to amaze with his imagery. He and Snyder are a great team. If James Tucker decides to turn this arc into a DC Original Animated Movie, I hope he has the sense to bring Snyder and Jimnez in as consultants. Take my money, Warner Animation! Follow these outlined steps, and you can have every penny! Sold! Read Full Review
Scott Snyder's tenure on Justice League is proving it self to be a home run with a great story, great characters and great art. A must buy! Read Full Review
This run on Justice Leaguehas hit us with the sort of big, almost-impenetrable concepts that such books often do; but writer and artists have grounded the whole affair in concepts and characters with strong resonance. Justice League #4moves the proceedings closer to the endgame, and while the universe-threatening forces set against our heroes from inside and out are still quite mysterious, the compelling, unashamed villains and tremendous visual storytelling make those intimidating mysteries worth the extra time needed to grasp them. Read Full Review
Justice League #4 is another astounding issue from Snyders new run with the team. The energy, imagination, and even fun present in this dark cosmic ride is abundant, and I can easily recommend it. Give this book a read. Read Full Review
Even with the aforementioned tropes this series tends to take, Snyder still crafts a fun and interesting read alongside the expert pencil work of Jorge Jimenez. With Justice League Odyssey and Justice League Dark around the corner New Justice is off to a great start Read Full Review
Despite its tendency to get lost in talks of ancient forces and energies, this issue is another strong installment of Snyder's Justice League relaunch, providing a story with a satisfying amount of risk, character spotlights, and imagination. Read Full Review
Justice League as a title has never looked better and Snyder is making sure the Number One Superhero Team has a story to write home about with "The Totality". Read Full Review
There is a careful balancing act occurring within these pages as the pure amount of story pushes the staples out of the issue, but it will be an impressive display if it all coheres by the final page. Read Full Review
I wonder where this story is heading and I'm still not sure what the Legion of Doom's plans are exactly. Are they planning on destroying the Multiverse?! They wouldn't, though… Right?… Right?! Read Full Review
This series continues to impress, with Scott Snyder throwing everything but the kitchen sink into this little epic. Read Full Review
JUSTICE LEAGUE #4 is an entertaining ride but not much more than that. The art is excellent and the action is unique but the issue doesn't have a story worthy of its eminent characters. Read Full Review
While I'm still invested in what's going on with the Justice League and the Legion of Doom in this title, I feel like this issue's grasp exceeded its reach because while I want to see these new concepts that Scott Snyder is throwing at us, I think it faltered a bit here with how they were presented......... because I was confused as hell. I loved the art in this issue and had some fun through most of the issue, I just wish it was a bit more accessible in what it's trying to convey. Read Full Review
Amazing art saves this otherwise average read, I think Snyder needs to find his team book legs he's trying too hard to set up 14 stories at once, I much prefer the route Tynion went in Detective Comics recently, making each arc a vignette highlighting a different team member. Not to say Snyder isn't possibly building to that but I feel like this opening arc is starting to unravel a bit. Read Full Review
When a book is so overstuffed and complicated in a way to be so uninteresting that you won't even read it for free, you know you're lost on it. I may try skimming the other issues as they come up and potentially try with the next arc to get into it all again, but with this spinning out of No Justice and all its complications there that I haven't read, Justice League is just a mess. Read Full Review
This run has been so much fun! So much action! It’s great to read something that seems to be leading to huge changes to our heroes.
Scott is promising too much. If hes able to deliver it at the end of this run/saga/story arc, this will likely become one the most adored, well-crafted and legendary JL eras of all time.
Scott Snyder, you crazy genius! This Justice League run is without a doubt Snyder's strongest work to date. How wonderful to find that he writes DC's flagship team even better than he wrote their flagship hero. And Jimenez is turning in his strongest work too. I'd had other preferences for a creative team for JL but I couldn't have been more wrong.
This team on this book is truly special.
Justice League and Batman have always been my top pulls (since I was 5 years old - 44 years ago) and I've rarely been this excited for JL and have never enjoyed Batman (Tom King) more.
As past JL series go, I wasn't the super-fan of Morrison's run that some were. I loved it, don't get me wrong. But it too often put me in my more
Scott Snyder's run on Justice League continues to impress. Though the abundance of new ideas and concepts that continue to develop can seem overwhelming, Snyder presents them in such an interesting, fun and well written way that makes Justice League one of the best books on the market.
Where to start? Snyder is killing it with the narration style - entire pages with no dialogue and straight narration. He's also seemed to have mastered the(forgive me for not knowing the name) few words onto the next page to complete a sentence thing...and makes it routinely horrifying. Jimenez is strengthening his grip as my favorite artist. But a lot of credit needs to go to Sanchez, who accentuates Jimenez's dynamic angles with GORGEOUS colors. What a great issue, with the only nit-pick being that the sum is less than the perfect parts. Sinestro's new, huge corps is intense! Every issue feels like an event.
How can a seemingly another superhero story be such a fun read? There's a lot of stuff going on and it still works amazing. Snyder, you crazy bastard.
If anything, this issue definitely proves we have found the perfect creative team for an ongoing Justice League series. My personal favorite is Jorge Jimenez's art, which is sensational. It's different enough to stand out, yet still makes the villains seem villainous, the heroes seem heroic, and the battles epic. Snyder's writing, although a hefty read, is probably worth it. His writing is always the most unique in the business and Justice League is no exception. It may not be for everyone, but it is a promising script that proves he has talent like no other.
So far, Justice League established itself as a multilayered, high quality run with plenty of interconnected mysteries leading to something bigger, important, universe changing. This issue is not an exception - front to end, it's exciting, unpredictable and offers multiple viewpoints. There's something for everybody.
This one is an improvement over the last three issues.
The story gets a little more clear and coherent, and Flash is finally not acting like a dumbass. Joker is super creepy and Luthor seems to be a good couple steps ahead of everybody, including mind-reading, babysitting gorilla Grodd.
Just like in issue 2 and 3 art in this one is great. Jorge Jimenez does not disappoint.
Too much going on without really giving readers time to breathe, and without any room for character play. A big step down from Metal and No Justice, despite the stellar art.
