The Justice League heads to deep space, on the trail of the most dangerous new criminal in all the galaxy. The biggest threat to the United Planets is on the loose, and no one in the cosmos is safe. Meanwhile, on Earth, Checkmate breaks into the Hall of Justice looking for clues to Black Canary’s secret affiliation. What secret affiliation, you ask? It’s a secret, duh! All this, and Black Adam declares himself leader of the League.
Plus, as the Justice League Dark plans their next move, Batman makes his in Gotham. An ally from Etrigan’s past holds the key to saving the present, but to retrieve it, the League and the Eternal Knigh more
Justice League #65 is yet another example of why this book is the premiere team book on the market. It has it all: compelling plots, great action, and fantastic art. The creative teams are taking readers on a tremendous ride, and they never fail to impress. This is the book that every superhero fan needs to be reading. Read Full Review
Back up top, Naomi distracts Synmar long enough for Superman to toss him into space briefly.I wonder if Synmar can sense her power level and that gave him pause. Please please please give us a list of her powers and more description of how strong she is. But Synmar turns out to be really tough. He takes out Superman, Hippolyta, and Hawkgirl.Batman sends out an all League alert. He even wonders if they should call in big hitters like Shazam, Black Adam, or Supergirl (woo hoo!!)Batman demands that the remaining League defend the Hall. I don't know if that is simply because of the people in it, the data held in there, or the symbol of it. But it doesn't matter. Synmar brings down the house.He is a tough villain. Read Full Review
The main story of Justice League #65 has some major problems, but also has some nice moments. Overall, I'd give it a 3/10. Ram V's backup story is once again perfect 5/5, if a bit short. DC should really consider giving him some of Bendis' pages. His Justice League Dark story deserves at least a full half of the book's page count. Read Full Review
Synmar, much like Rogol Zaar before him, just doesn't work that well as a villain"he's an all-powerful alien madman without the context of a Darkseid or Thanos. But the story surrounding him is pretty entertaining. Read Full Review
Final Verdict: It's a solid improvement. Read Full Review
Steve Pugh does great work with the action in this first story. The visuals are thrilling throughout. Kumar delivers some beautifully detailed imagery throughout the second story and it perfectly captures the tone and mood of the story. Read Full Review
A quick and action packed comic. Justice League is still incorporating elements of previous Bendis material, but it is a bit more engaging here. Hopefully this arc continues to get better. Read Full Review
There are elements of Justice League that lift everything else, but JL Dark is worth the price of admission all on its own. Read Full Review
Never underestimate a good cliffhanger, and this issue we get three! The last page of the Justice League Dark section is so good it could be a poster. The team is assembled, and next issue we'll see how they fair against Merlin. Read Full Review
The Eternal Knight wasn't as good as last issue, but United Order wasn't as bad as last issue (though I still felt it was decidedly mediocre). Honestly, there's a part of me that wants Bendis to do something weird with this book, and I'd like to think he's capable of doing that without committing character assassination in the process. I really liked his Action Comics for a time, and want to see him do that sort of thing with his Checkmate plot, if we're really going to be following that in these pages. Let's just hope that happens soon " and let's hope V and Kumar can get their own damn book. Read Full Review
While I love the art in both the Justice League and Justice League Dark stories this issue, neither stories feel like they do much to progress their arcs, but at least the JLD bits didn't go full Bendis and make you realize that the person in charge of the Worlds' Greatest Superheroes has no idea what he's doing beyond trying to make people like Naomi and things he introduced during his Superman run. Wow, this Justice League is rough, which is weird because it really didn't go anywhere. Read Full Review
As usual, Bendis keeps tripping over his past glories at the Justice Leagues expense while Ram V and Kumar accomplish twice as much storyline progression in half the space. Read Full Review
Really great issue! I have really enjoyed what bendis has done so far! Both stories were great though I really wish they would not do the two stories I would much rather just buy justice league and justice league dark and get two full stories
Justice League - 5/10
JLD - 8/10
JL 5/10: Would of been a 2 without the Wonder Twins bit.
JLD:7/10 Being relegated to backup is screwing with the pacing.
I actually liked the Wonder Twins here, but still, awful issue
Justice Leaguers... damn, that's sounds so bad that it hurts man. I can't wait to buy JLD's TPB to not read things like that.
I feel very bad for Ram V having his JL Dark comic truncated and packaged with Bendis' slop. I am so close to dropping this comic. It is just too fucking bad. The shit with the Symnar is so uninteresting. It's just more Bendis shit. Also, why the fuck is Aquaman being treated like Willzyx? Is this a thing that, in my years of reading DC comics, has never come up before? Does Aquaman need to remain moist to function on dry land? Where is this coming from?? It's so stupid and I think Bendis thinks it's actually really funny, and that's just dreadful.
Justice League is the perfect example of the chaos at DC Comics. Now I'm not a big Didio fan but at least when he saw the Batman ship sinking with Tom King, he pulled the plug on it(not that Tynion is any better). But here Bendis is let loose to pull down the JL into the abyss of his career. Sure, Didio has a good amount of blame for this too since he thought it would be a great idea to bring Bendis at DC and put him on Superman when Jurgen and Tomasi were doing just fine. Spoiler: it wasn't.
More awfulness from Bendis, the worst writer in comics.
Crap, Bendis fans need to stop drinking the koolaid and admit he is a has been hack , who occasionally can come up with a big idea the speculators love ( new team. Idenity reveal , new characters) but no one actually reads
Actually not reading a book by Bendis may be for the best
