Did you read the write-up on issue #5? Do you really think anything's gotten better for the Justice League in the past two weeks? Still Force? Still a thing! Ultraviolet Galaxy Lantern? Keeps attacking! Sinestro? Total garbage! Lex Luthor and Joker? Beating everyone to the Source Wall piece. If that happens? You don't wanna know.

    Major Spoilers - Ingrid Lind-Jahn Aug 15, 2018

    I feel like the excitement keeps ramping up in Justice League #6. The message that I am getting from it " to accept your faults, admit your mistakes, apologize, and move on while trying to do better " is a powerful one that befits this group of heroes and is indeed about as heroic as you can get. And it is just beautiful to look at besides. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Batmanaruto Aug 15, 2018

    In conclusion, this issue and the arc so far have been really good. One of the aspects that I really enjoyed is that, at the end the team feels broken. Even though this isn’t the end and the team feels like they have won, there are repercussions, such as Batman’s bones being broken, Barry being affected by the still force and John Stewart becoming an ultra violet lantern. So far, this run is looking to be great. Read Full Review

    While this may not be a great selection for a new or younger reader, it still is a great story for fans that enjoy sinking their teeth into a deeper story, especially if they like adventures on a huge, cosmic scale. This title has definitely brought DC's premier team back to the forefront of DC's lineup. Read Full Review

    Snyder packs a killer cliffhanger this issue — one that could potentially open up a whole new realm of possibilities not just for Justice League, but the DC Universe as a whole. Read Full Review

    Seriously, if you're not reading this series at this point, you're doing yourself a disservice. Justice League is indulging us in all our urges and cravings: Conflict, balance, shock, awe, and humor. The only disappointing thing is that each issue has to end. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Robert Struble Aug 29, 2018

    If youre a casual reader, you may find this book difficult, filled with dialogue and narration boxes, but if you can stick with it, this may be one of the best League stories yet. And that ending wow. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Kevin Gunn Aug 20, 2018

    It was nice to break up the action in issue #5, but it's also great for the story to pick back up where it left off. A well-written plot continues to unfold right before our eyes. The artwork is still top-tier. Since this is the fifth installment of this arc, we should see a closing on the horizon. If it is like the rest of this story, we should be in for a treat.

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Aug 15, 2018

    Scott Snyder has managed to take the epic vibe of an event comic and distill it to a bi-weekly ongoing. That's exactly what a great team book should be. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Brian Warshaw Aug 15, 2018

    Justice League #6 is a welcome return of the series' regular creative team. The narration is once again delightful, the conflict"and our heroes' response"is interesting and suspenseful, and I defy you to show me a book that looks better. If you're not reading this series, you should. Read Full Review

    Comicsverse - Javier Ruiz Aug 17, 2018

    In JUSTICE LEAGUE #6, Snyder delivers a version of Luthor that's pure mania! Jorge Jimnez creates beautiful art for this issue. Alejandro Sanchez's use of color has a foreboding tone. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Corps - Mike Bedard Aug 15, 2018

    Snyder has been masterful at creating plenty of organic twists and turns. There really are no weak players. Generally, with issues like this that have over a dozen active characters, there is usually at least one plotline that just isn't engaging as the rest, and I really have to slog through the pages until something more interesting happens. With this storyline, everything is essential. Everyone has an important part to play, and I look forward to every character's upcoming actions. Read Full Review

    Comicosity - Terrence Sage Aug 15, 2018

    Justice League remains at the top of the heap of DC books you need to read with every new issue because Snyder and the Art Team are crafting a title for the ages with an attitude of taking old characters and throwing them into new and unexplored depths with some grand cosmic ramifications in the process. That's life for you. Read Full Review

    GWW - Deron Generally Aug 14, 2018

    Phil Jimenez does amazing things with the art in this issue and he does an amazing job of making Joker menacing as well as his takeover of Martian Manhunter scary as hell. Visually, everything in this issue looks amazing and the art does a great job at keeping pace with the narrative. Read Full Review

    Sequential Planet - Callum Riley Aug 17, 2018

    The story suffers from a lack of bombast for the first half of this issue as it's still catching up with the events of the previous 5, but picks up for the end. We see some encouraging development for characters that haven't had much time to shine so far and are going to move to more significant roles later. There is nothing else to say about Jimenez and Sanchez other than they knock it out of the park like they always do. Read Full Review

    Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison Aug 14, 2018

    Justice League #6 is another impressive entry in Scott Snyders new take on DCs premiere superhero team. The story begins to turn slowly, and the Legion of Doom is given some moments to remind us why its membership is among DCs greatest villains. Jimenez and Sanchez give the book a damn good treatment, and the book earns a recommendation. Give it a read when it comes out tomorrow. Read Full Review

    While we do get more pieces to the puzzle this issue, we're still left wondering what the hell the puzzle is in the first place and what we're supposed to do with these new pieces.  With that though, you get some stunning art and some amazing fights in this issue.  I'm just getting a little tired at not understanding the story that we're dealing with.
