This book is an excellent superhero comic due to the inventive nature of the alien race, the great plotting that keeps you on your toes, and the way the superheroes are individuals and not a singular voice. This is good sci-fi storytelling and even better team superhero comics. Read Full Review

It's a very different kind of Justice League story, and that's a win in itself. Read Full Review

Justice League #48 is a good first step in what hopefully will be an exciting new chapter for the Justice League. Snyder and Venditti's runs are two very tough acts to follow. However, I have confidence that Spurrier will be up to the challenge. Read Full Review

Overall an impressive set-up issue for a new Justice league Sci-Fi venture. Read Full Review

Read it for the politics " not the pencils. Read Full Review

Even though these current Justice League stories are happening in a space that makes them so that they don't feel as big as they should or even at times...... that they matter at all.  With this new creative team coming on that at least makes this feel more exciting right out of the gate and for what Si Spurrier gave us here, I'm interested to see what he'll bring to the party for the rest of this story because it at least felt different than what we've been previously getting out of this title.

Lopresti does some great work with the art for the most part. While the Justice league characters look great and the backgrounds are filled with detail, the aliens are unremarkable and unmemorable. Read Full Review

The Justice League is ill-suited for the challenge they face as they're deep in space and way out of their depth. Read Full Review

Another fill in arc, and this one has a Silver Age feel to it. It is a densely packed story that takes The Justice League many places, but probably won't matter in the long run. Read Full Review

Justice League enjoyed a resurgence under Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, but now it seems like the title is back to treading water and relying on its name value instead of highly engaging, episodic issues. Read Full Review

This isn't the best Justice League story by any stretch (it suffers from every superhero trying to get in ideological points, and the art feels rushed and sloppy), but it does have a certain charm to it. In a way it reminds me of a storyline you'd see in the Justice League cartoon, or maybe one of Gardner Fox's Justice League issues. Read Full Review

I think the premise is decent for a one-off story, and it definitely could get better. But it's even more expensive than ever to get DC comic books here in Australia, and that weighs on my mind more and more every time I read a mediocre issue of a book that continues to hit me with directionless content.

Solid story concept and execution. Dialogue was fine, except it was strange seeing Diana almost defend murder. Also, a comet would still pass through different space sectors, so I don't really understand why the GLC wouldn't know about this place. Astronomers on Earth mark the path of comets all the time so I'm not sure why GLC wouldn't. A space sector covers more than just planets. I haven't read Spurrier outside of The Dreaming, and while I didn't love that series, I hope he sticks the landing with this three part Justice League story.

Great art let down by obnoxiously on-the-nose Twitter politics.

I think that in concept this isn’t a bad idea, but it felt very hurried and I didn’t get the sense of there being a real depth to the approach to the issues. I wish Wonder Woman had had more of a chance to talk about her beliefs and not merely lecture about them, and I wish that her thoughts had been more cogent and consistent.

Oh no, what's this? A politically charged story where characters become stand ins for Opinions™. Who could've seen this coming from the guy who wrote The Dreaming? Not me! Not I! Wonder Woman's opinion seems to change based on the argument being presented on that page. I'm not getting into the political conversation, because I couldn't give a fuck less about exploring these themes in a short, possibly poorly thought out review of a comic that's not entirely worth the time. I will just say that I don't think the ideologies are being represented by the right characters, nor is either side incredibly well written here. Wonder Woman gets the worst of it on both ends and it really just... I'll just say it, this is... why people need to learn to listen to every side. You may hate to hear it. You may not want to, ahem, "signal boost." It'd make this comic a hell of a lot more interesting if Simon Spurrier had a higher level of knowledge of both sides, though. And it would've made his political insertions more natural since they'd be more nuanced instead of characters blurting out... just every talking point any idiot can throw together in a few seconds on Twitter. Did I just do a politicism? more

Really? You Think This is good?
Scott Where Are You!!?

My ears perked up when Simon Spurrier's name popped up, but ultimately it just affirmed what others have said about Hellblazer being a fluke. The message is obnoxiously blunt and the story is horribly bland. Anyways, the art had a nice, fun, classic feel to it.

Don't know if this is some kind of filler that was lying in a dusty corner of the office that was never supposed to see the light of day or is this what we are stuck with for the foreseeable future?
