    AIPT - Chris Showalter

    A perfect one-two punch of mystery and character exploration, Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 expertly sets the stage for DC’s Next Level.  Mark Waid and Joshua Williamson wisely ground this issue’s theme, villain, and conflict within the characters’ ideologies. The clash of creeds between Batman and Luthor is pitch-perfect, providing pure enjoyment within every panel. However, as strong as Waid and Williamson’s script work, Miguel Mendonça’s artwork and Romulo Fajardo Jr.’s colors are a huge contender for this book’s main event. The artwork is cinematic and dynamic with expertly crafted action sequences and lighting. Additionally, Mendonça’s and Romulo Fajardo Jr.’s artwork does an excellent job embracing the gritty nature of the narrative’s horror and sci-fi aspects. Read Full Review

    A simple attempt to take out some thugs spirals out of control when a dangerous rogue re-appears. Waid and Williamson play off the egotistical natures of the leads with huge payoffs. Mendonça & Fajardo Jr. keep a tense aura around each panel to deliver on an incredible confrontation. How long the united front of Bats and Luthor can remain is anyone’s guess. Read Full Review

    This issue has great visuals and character work, but it feels a bit like a side story that teases a coming storyline that we pretty much already knew was coming. Still, as an expansion of the excellent Justice League title Waid writes, it’s a good oversized annual. Read Full Review

    Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 does exactly what a special like this should. It tells an entertaining story, pushes the larger All In mission forward, and reminds readers how well Waid and Williamson understand these characters. Combined with excellent work from Miguel Mendonça, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Steve Wands, it's another enjoyable chapter in one of DC's most exciting eras of storytelling. Read Full Review

    Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 might set up what's to come for DC's "All In," but it stands out on its own. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Clique - Abel Loza

    The Justice League: Knight Vision Special one-shot was strategic in its use of Batman and Lex Luthor's icy relationship, making the underlying conflict of their troubling vision much more terrifying. I mean, why else would these two work together? Overall, this issue did its job and was a very entertaining read. I'm a sucker for unlikely team-ups. The creative was a literal dream team of some of the best and most well-known creatives in the comic book industry, the perfect team to remind us and move us forward from the events of DC K.O. I wouldn't be opposed to continuous one-shots to string us along until the next DC event. Read Full Review

    I loved this Waid's storytelling still is unmatched. Lex and Batman worked well together without it feeling like a gimmick and Prometheus was a cool villain to put in here and even though they defeat him here I have a feeling he is a bigger piece of the puzzle related to Darkseid's coming return post KO.
