The Spirit of Vengeance goes global! After spending untold time in isolation, the Spectre is back, and his thirst for retribution will ripple across the Earth! As old wounds are reopened under the Spectre's unstoppable influence, it's up to the Justice League to stop the conflict. But how can they act on a global stage when they must first contend with their own resentments?
Justice League #45 was a fun read that provided a dope fight between the team that ultimately sets up the conflict they'll face for this arc and beyond. Read Full Review
Eddy Barrows has some great art in this issue. The characters look great. The fight between the team members had energy, but only really followed through in a couple of moments. Everything with the Spectre was awesome and the Corrigan moments stood out visually. Read Full Review
Venditti takes things to an interesting direction with a new location at the end of the issue that promises to keep this arc rolling. Read Full Review
They're still stalling for Dark Nights: Death Metal, but at least they're doing it in style. Read Full Review
Justice League #45 does a great job building the intrigue around this "Cold War" storyline. The fighting between the Justice League members worked in well with how this issue spotlighted the problem around Spectre's sudden appearance. With this and how the issue ended, Justice League #45 did its job building hype for how things will turn out moving forward. Read Full Review
We've seen some interesting Spectre stories lately, including a team-up with Batman, but this issue has the scale to show just how scary the character can be when used well. Read Full Review
Justice League #47 yet again shows us a glimmer of the potential epic Justice League run we might have gotten if he was sticking around for the long haul. I look forward to seeing how he caps off his run on the title over the next two issues. Read Full Review
By the end of Justice League #45, I was glad that I didn't feel too disappointed by the change in direction that this book took. The new story does give you a reason to keep looking forward to more. Great action, character moments, and visual appeal. Read Full Review
Yeah, you'll get some big beat downs from the Justice League taking on themselves, which I know can get old at times, but beyond the concept that our heroes secretly have grudges against each other, this issue in this arc really elevates the story in a cool way that makes me really interested in what's to come from this arc because essentially....... it's the Justice League vs the powers of The Presence..... and that just screams cool. The art is amazing and I can't wait to see what we get next. Read Full Review
Character drama is at the heart of every story, whether you're dealing with a conflict between neighbours or gods. Making this story stem from Jim Corrigan's internal conflict " and how that manages to affect the world around him " gives this book a weight that the previous arc did not have for me. This story feels important, even if it isn't an event, which speaks to the quality of the book. I'm actually really interested in seeing where things go from here! Read Full Review
If you are picking up this book and are not the biggest continuity nerd, it will read like a fun comic. However, the second you try and place this book into the larger DC Universe, certain elements fall apart. In no means is this a bad book, but it is an uneven puzzle piece that does not fit into the whole, both in story and art. Read Full Review
The second part of the latest story arc is a bit formulaic, but still a fun superhero action ride. It looks good, offers an interesting cliffhanger, and even plays around with the higher powers in the DCU. Read Full Review
The premise is an interesting one and this issue is a prime example of some good old fashioned super hero fare. Read Full Review
On a positive note, the art of Eddy Barrows downplays the shitty post-Flashpoint version of the Flash‘s costume by hiding the ridiculous grooves in his costume as much as possible by keeping the speedster in motion for most of the comic (and refusing to fill in that awful yellow piping).

Justice League #45 feels like the epitome of a mixed bag, with its insights into the League’s characters clashing with numerous discordant elements across the storyline. That’s not to say this is a bad comic, but it for sure doesn’t do justice to either Robert Venditti or Eddy Barrows’ skills - if you’re looking for some by-the-numbers superhero action, you could do worse than this book, but this isn’t a highlight for anyone involved, either.

Prelude:
Last issue was rather subpar so let's see how this issue goes.
The Good:
The action was really well done.
Liking the plot.
I really enjoyed Barrows' art.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
For maybe the first time, I actually enjoyed an issue of Venditti's Justice League.
I enjoyed this book it wasn’t mind blowing but I thought it was very good.
A fun continuation in which the League battles each other and realizes the Spectre was behind all the madness, but with a twist.
The pacing is a big issue IMO.
Just kind of a boring trudge through not all that much, when you get down to it.
The pacing problems that Venditti's writing always has rears its ugly head here. Barely anything happens, and none of it is all that interesting.
a prophecy woooow coooooool
Venditti always gets back to having issues where nothing happens at all
