But that is far outweighed by all the good things in this issue, in this storyline. And the excitement I feel about upcoming issues, and the explanation of who their mysterious visitor will turn out to be. Read Full Review

Justice League #7 is another absolute blast of an issue from this impressive run on the title. Snyder is pulling out all the stops, and the book is consistently staffed with talented artists to boot. This is easily among DCs best titles of the moment, and this issue earns a strong recommendation. Give it a read tomorrow. Read Full Review

Cheung sets up the perfect balance with the art in this issue. It can shift from subtle, character moments to bombastic action and there are moments of great tension brought to the page through Cheung's use of details in both the foreground and background action. There is a great use of color and composition as well in this issue and everything works to complement both the art and the story. I really want to see where this story goes, especially with who Luthor is teaming up with next. Read Full Review

I miss Jimenez's art on this issue, but Cheung is alright too. Snyder arc on the Totality is FINALLY coming to a close, but with the arrival of special guests arriving, it's apparent that the League is still going have to tend with the Legion of Doom and their aspirations. Still, Snyder gives us a fitting end to this arc. Read Full Review

The Justice League has to confront the fact they are not merely working against Luthor and the Legion of Doom. They may very well be working against the nature of the universe. It's a high-concept idea, and I'm looking forward to seeing whether the team here can follow through. Read Full Review

Justice League (2018-) continues to excite and entertain in this its seventh issue; Snyder does a fine job in keeping all of this story's parts moving while artist Jim Cheung produces some amazing artwork. Read Full Review

A strong finish that gets you excited for more. I haven't had this much excitement and hope for the Justice League in a very long time. Read Full Review

Though it left some things to be desired, the finale of Justice League's first arc undoubtedly planted seeds that will blossom into the most viciousvenus fly trap of misfortune. And they ain't ready. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder's first arc on Justice League has been everything I'd want from a big-scale conventional Justice League title " strong team dynamic, a combination of A-listers and more obscure characters, and an over-the-top explosive threat that delivers thrills and great visuals. Read Full Review

I suppose at some point, I'll break out the whole arc and read in one big gulp. Maybe I'll grasp more or be even more confused.. But for now, color me satisfied. These are the size and weight of stories that should force the League to work together - massive, universe threatening, primordial force stuff that requires this team. Read Full Review

All in all, Justice League continues to be one of DC Comics' best titles, despite some minor kerfuffles in the artwork. This is superhero comics done right. Read Full Review

Held back a little by the too convenient ending, Snyder's Justice League is still off to a brilliant start and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for the series. Read Full Review

In the midst of so many heroes and villains, such an enormous scope, and an incredible array of new ideas, Justice League finds its center and brings its titanic opening story to an impressive close. Read Full Review

With Metal and No Justice, Snyder has created a number of threads through the entire DCU, and it seems that the threads are converging in Justice League. By telling a story on such a large-scale, Snyder takes a large risk of the whole story falling flat, but so far his risk is paying off. Read Full Review

Scott Snyder's assumption of theJustice League writer's chair came with much pomp"pomp which has since proven entirely warranted. He and his team of artists have taken DC's flagship title and woken it from a nearly two-year slumber. In this, the final installment of his first arc, Snyder gives us a satisfying conclusion to a complex tale, while Cheung, Mark Morales, Walden Wong, and Morey dole out the superhero bombast as good as anyone in the business. Cap it off with Tom Napolitano's impeccable lettering, and you can't go wrong. DC finally has a worthy successor to the Geoff Johns run on its hands, and I couldn't be happier. Read Full Review

Justice League #7 will knock your socks off as Scott Snyder concludes his first arc on the series Read Full Review

Landing safely, this issue manages to wrangle in some of the complicated story elements bringing it back to basics, with strong character work and intriguing, potentially hugely consequential premises. Read Full Review

While you continue to get some awesome over the top super heroics in this issue, the answers to all our questions continue to stay out of sight, while also introducing some new questions to the pile.  Thankfully, some awesome art and some epic situations calm most of my frustrations down and keep me on board this Justice League trolley.  Things will need to become a bit more transparent as the series continues though because being dark and mysterious will only take you so far. Read Full Review

This was an exciting end to a story arc while continuing to set some very interesting things for the future. I just wish that this would have been about two issues shorter and the dialogue didn't hurt so much. Read Full Review

If Justice League #7 could be described in one word it would be "Big". The comic is a climax to the first arc but also an ongoing theater in a developing war. This is what I imagine a Justice League Story is supposed to feel like. The heroes win and the villains are forced to regroup. 

There are plenty of "Oh Sh!t" moments but the standout is an encounter between Lex Luthor and Hawkgirl. I'm not as familiar with her as I probably should be but she puts on an excellent showing. I also always love to see Lex battle anyone besides Superman. What this does is continue to scale the League with the Legion so that the impression is that neither side has a huge advantage in this war. 

There are also quieter character interactions and development throughout the issue. The characters feel like real friends, an actual team instead of just an assorted collection of heroes. 

The pencils from Jim Cheung continue to impress and the constantly shifting script is matched on the artistic front. Tomeu Morey is spectacular here. The colors pop and complement every other aspect of the narrative.  

I appreciate that pace of the issue. Too many writers rely on the artists to fill in too many gaps in the story. Which leads to comics you can breeze through in a few minutes. This series has benefited from the collaborative efforts of the team. It's worth the cover price and bodes well for the series going forward.

This issue was fantastic. Snyder's run has hit every mark for me and I can't praise it enough. Snyder has poured his passion for the DC mythos into this series, and it only makes it better. Jim Cheung and Jorge Jimenez have done wonderful work on this series, working very well with Snyder's script.

A very good ending to the first arc, which started out incredibly well and slowed down a bit towards the end. Nonetheless, the ending left me really excited about what's to come.

THE GOOD:

-The art is excellent in this issue. I honestly will keep saying this, but Justice League always has the perfect creative teams for al their issues. Whether its Snyder and Jimenez or Snyder and Cheung or Tynion and Mahnke, Justice League for the past 7 issues has had the best writer-artist collaborations out of any current comic book series out there. And Cheung's art is no exception.

-This series has truly captured the epic feeling that the previous Justice League series (and the movie) lacked. The tension in these pages is built up phenomenally by Snyder and Cheung both.

-The narration in this issue is extra good. That is always the highlight of all the previous issues, but here I could truly feel how powerful Snyder's narration was.

-The last page was excellent. Surprising, and it effectively leaves you on the edge of your seat.

-As far as a finale goes, this issue wrapped things up pretty perfectly. It tied up loose ends, defeated the villain, all while maintaining that blockbuster movie feeling.

-Although I did not like the joke in the first issue, using the correct pause and buildup, the Batman voice mockery joke was very, very effective this issue. Also a perfect bookend for the story arc, since this ties back to the first issue as far as humor goes.

THE BAD:

-The dialogue just feels off to me. A little cheesy, a little one dimensional, it just doesn't feel like something these characters would really say.

-The resolution for Flash's character was weak. It essentially came down to " Sorry I threw a tantrum," and "No you're alright." Reminds me of a kid's show style resolution. Not a Scott Snyder scripted Justice League conclusion. Get what you get and you don't' throw a fit.

I liked the conclusion the first storyline, but it wasn’t my favourite issue of the series. This does set up some things for future stories at least. The artwork was very good but not as good as the previous artist.

Snyder is wholly competent at writing a cohesive, yet epic, narrative. Cheung is making a case for top-shelf art rotations in DC! But holy exposition, Batman...

Fun but kind of a mess.

nd here we are at the end of the first arc. It was a good run so far - one that started something big, and we're going to need a lot of time to process it all. Complexity is both a strength and weakness of Justice League comics now, since while you can't deny the ambition and size of its story, all 7 issues felt a bit disjointed at times, due to action constantly jumping from one character to another. From what I've heard during Comicstorian's interview with Scott Snyder, next arcs are going to be focused around just few heroes, instead of the full team, which I look forward to.
#7 is a solid read, and one that most definitely will be mandatory to understand what's to come. Fans of Snyder's JL won' be disappointed.

The Totality reaches its conclusion and... it's fine.

There is action, great visuals (Jim Cheung and the rest did a wonderful job) and Martian Manhunter's awesome monologue.

As for the rest. The story itself and its conclusion are a bit underwhelming. The Dialogue problem is still here. Some characters speak things that just completely don't fit them. Some spotlight is given to the Hawkgirl and we get a glimpse on, possibly, some new Leaguers.

The issue, however, provides some surprises at the end. But not in a "WOW, I can't believe it" way, more in a "Huh, interesting, I wonder where this will go next". So, yeah, I'm curious to see what Scott Snyder will come up with next. I just hope it will appeal to me more than this story arc. more

This series is so convoluted as to be incomprehensible. Snyder is a great writer but he is letting concept get in the way of character or coherent storytelling.
Yes, having the Legion of Doom has been cool, but does it serve any storytelling purpose other than have them there? Only Luthor has played an important role as villains and the other characters feel useless or idiotic.
The overcrowding and emphasis on Luthor takes time away from actually focusing ob the Justice League and at this point we could say that Luthor has been the star of these first issues.
Underwhelming.

Scott Snyder's first Justice League arc mercifully comes to an end (sort of--this issue's final pages suggest that parts of "The Totality" storyline will continue). What a mess! Even an epic story that's cosmic in scope should make sense.

This issue has plenty of action, but the story is again hard to follow. There are lofty concepts that seem half-baked, and there are far too many characters. Not helping matters is distractingly dorky dialogue.

The strengths of this first arc have been the fun nostalgia (Hall of Justice, Legion of Doom, etc.) and the variant covers featuring individual Justice Leaguers. And the prominent role given to Martian Manhunter is an interesting and promising choice. But there is much room for improvement.
more

This had one good moment that amused me and made me want to hope for this title and this team.

from a 6 base rating this gets a 2.
-1 because: the art was distractingly bad.
-1 because the dialog was just bad.
-2 because: an ugh storyline.


I actually think I like Scott Snyder less than Tom King these days. How's THAT for bad?
