Justice League: Last Ride #1 is a powerful first issue. Zdarsky is one of the best writers within mainstream comics and he demonstrates why within this comic. There is a history instilled within this first chapter that remains hidden, and yet the reader can still feel the weight that it pushes on the characters. The comic is incredibly atmospheric, with the tension inside palpable. The connection the heroes have with each other is most evident when it's gone. The plot itself sets up what could be some terrific battles and heartbreaking revelations. Read Full Review

Mendona on art is doing a good job drawing the generalized versions of these characters. They may not have their most up-to-date uniforms on, but they still embody the characters we know and present the visual motifs that make them who they are. Mendona has also done a good job making everyone look eternally sad and tired. I finished this issue really wanting to give Superman a hug.  Read Full Review

This is one of the best depictions of grief and the search for blame after a tragedy that I've seen in a superhero comic in a long time, another piece of evidence that Zdarsky is one of the best writers in comics at the moment. He's also one of the few whose reach covers just about every major company"and I wouldn't be surprised if after his current DC work, he winds up on an A-list in-continuity title soon enough.

Zdarsky has done it again, he's enticed me in with the first book of this mini-series and has left me screaming for what comes next, AND for what happened before! I highly recommend you adding Justice League: Last Ride #1 to your pull list. This is the Justice League mini series that all Justice League mini series have dreamed about being for the last 10 years. I for one can't wait for issue #2. WHAT DID BATMAN DO?! Read Full Review

Mendonca delivers some beautiful art in this first issue. The characters look dynamic and every page is filled with great detail. Read Full Review

A brilliant introduction to a new world with wonderful art to complement it. Read Full Review

Justice League: Last Ride #1 manages to put emotions before spectacle to aptly begin a story of what it would be like if The Justice League broke up. Read Full Review

The gold standard for modern, non-continuity takes on the Justice League must be Injustice, but the first issue of Last Ride takes aim at the king and this series doesn't appear ready to miss. Read Full Review

This Last Ride might be one worth taking with Zdarsky, Mendonca and company. Read Full Review

However, the anger Zdarsky is brewing seems pretty intense, which is fine… if its warranted. As of now, we only know minor details. Still, this level of anger could only be justified with some event or action rather massive. Realistically readers, for SUPERMAN to be this angry, something huge must have transpired. And, after what has been divulging so far, I can only hope there is much more to the story yet to be revealed about past actions that led to the disbandment of the JUSTICE LEAGUE. My current interests are more in the past than in the future which has brought them back together. Read Full Review

Chip Zdarsky, Miguel Mendonca, and Enrica Angiolini make a strong statement with their work on Justice League: Last Ride #1. You quickly understand why when you pick up this comic book that the DC Universe greatest heroes aren't in the best spot. From there we get into a story involving the United Planets and New Gods that create a big event feel for what will take place in Justice League: Last Ride. Setting all that up creates a comic book that will get fans invested right away. Read Full Review

Chip Zdarsky kicks off his Justice League story, and while it's a slower start than I expected, I am intrigued.  I hope to see how this story ties into current and future storylines soon, but for now, I am enjoying the character work, the art, and the mystery of it all.   Read Full Review

Although elements of this story have definitely been seen before, 'Last Ride' is off to a compelling start thanks to some exceptional character moments. Read Full Review

While well illustrated, the story of 'Last Ride' feels a bit too much like a sequel to a nonexistent tale than one that provides a good jumping-on point. Read Full Review

The best way to describe Justice League: Last Ride #7, and the book as a whole, is a book that just functions. Its not unfair to say that making a comic is a small miracle, no matter at what level its being made. Last Ride gets the reader from point A to point B, but only the premise and end have any weight or legs to them, with everything in the middle falling to the wayside. The biggest hope to have for the book is it hopefully sets up a more interesting status quo going forward for the DC Universe, continuing the elements that worked in the book. Read Full Review

It's an okay issue, but without the proper context, none of the referenced events carry any weight for me. As a result, this first issue doesn't have a strong hook and if I wasn't reviewing this series, I likely wouldn't have continued reading this based on this first issue alone. That said, the concept and general story idea sounds pretty cool. Here's to hoping that the creative team will manage to course correct with the upcoming issues. For the time being, if you're on the fence, I recommend waiting for the next reviews before purchasing. Read Full Review

At the end of the day,Justice League: Last Ride simply feels like a rehash of tried-and-true plots we've all read before, but fails to bring anything unique enough to the table to counter that. Characters are reduced to one-note versions of themselves, the reasons for getting the team back together fall utterly short of the task at hand, and the art leaves everyone looking either off-model, too similar, or both. The creative team is a talented one but sadly, this is simply not one of their finer efforts. Read Full Review

This is nothing new from DC, another year another Crisis..and I do not expect any surprises. It's a playbook from the Big Book of DC Plotlines! and I'm bored, bored and very bored of all of it now. Read Full Review

A good start with a few flaws

This is a lot of fun even with all the manufactured drama!

I was really looking forward to this one as I am both a reader of justice league books and a fan of zdarsky. I really enjoyed this book I am looking forward to finding out what happened with j'onn. I have to say the artwork really stood out! I felt this book was beautifully drawn inked and colored

Will Zdarsky make me love the Justice League again?? That will be the truest recovery from betrayal here.

A nicely thematically constructed start to a new series. The issue shines with it's precise characterization. Zdarsky is telling an interesting and character-driven story, that's close to some of the core points of League, in a risky, but intriguing manner, that's maybe not for everybody's tastes. Personally I think the issue is great for what it is and that the potential is huge here, but it all depends on if the next issues deliver.

Not as exceptional as his Red Hood in Batman Urban Legends, however Zdarkay is doing an excellent job here.

Interesting concept and great art.

Very fun start to this miniseries, I picked it up on a whim, since Mendoça is portuguese as am I, and Zdarksy sold me on Crossover #8. And I am afraid I quite liked it, I ordered the rest of the series, cause the JL core is there, although on a conflicted way. I hadn't read JL in a while, but the small format was a plus to keep following this.

Good art & story. I predict Lobo will get loose and seriously mess up somebody in the JLA.

Good debut

Finally an upgrade for Hal!

This looks like it will be good, but we all know Bruce and Clark will eventually get along. But it's a nice comic.

I'm eager to see the dysfunction between the dismantaling of the League - once again. A little tired of Martian Manhunter being a sacrificial lamb, but I am a sadistic sucker for watching him burn so let Zdarsky tell his DC tale that makes Batman look like an asshole, once again.

Finally reading this 2 years later. The art is very ordinary, but the premise is intriguing

Ugh, did we REALLY need another story where Batman and Superman are angry with each other even though we all know it's a matter of time until they reconcile? This comes at such a bad time in contrast with what Yang is doing in Batman/Superman. Glad to see Hal in a leading role, I'm betting Geoffrey Thorne will have another breakdown if he reads this one. :))
