But while the League thought Apokolips would be the safest place to store a wanted murderer, there are others out on the hunt for Lobo…
Justice League: Last Ride #5 is a blockbuster comic of epic proportions. Every aspect of this book radiates power and large scale. The characters are full of life, each one true to form. The relationships between them have been pulled taught by Zdarsky in some beautifully painful moments. Read Full Review

Zdarsky and Mendonca have done a superb job in Justice League: Last Ride #5. It's a shame that this is a miniseries, as I would love to see an ongoing series from this creative team. But at least we have two more issues of this mini to look forward to. Read Full Review
We all know the popular "Darkseid is." line. It's eerie and ominous and reassures dominance. And this book plays with that line masterfully: Darkseid is power. It's simple and on its own doesn't have a lot of impact. But coupled with the image of the central power battery exploding and Darkseid absorbing all of its energy like a souped up Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, that line is chilling. Mendona and Angiolini were in their bags for that scene. Read Full Review
This series has always parceled out its answers slowly, and with only a few issues left it's hard to guess how it'll end exactly. But it's one of the best looks at the Justice League at its breaking point that we've ever gotten. Zdarsky continues to be a master at putting the heroes of both universes through their paces.

Mendonca delivers some great action throughout the issue. There are awesome visual moments and a momentum to the imagery that keeps the reader visually engaged. Read Full Review
Last Ride had an off issue, but it's still the best Justice League book on the stands. Read Full Review
Its a shame that the issue, and the "Last Ride" as a whole, has this discombobulated feeling. On paper, the book has everything going for it: a killer writer, a chance to explore the DC universe outside the bounds of continuity, and emotional status quo that earns the title of a page-turner. Unfortunately, the book doesnt slot these elements together, and will burn out as another forgettable miniseries in DCs experimental phase. Read Full Review
Before any of you get the wrong idea"no, this is still not a bad comic. I hate how this story treats Superman, but I still think that Zdarsky writes the other characters authentically. The comic is action-packed, and the art is outstanding and only seems to keep getting better. If you don't mind Superman being this way, and if you've been collecting the single issues from the start, then I think you can go for it. But if you haven't been reading this, then I recommend that you wait for the trade, or just sit this one out altogether. Read Full Review
Justice League: Last Ride seems to be limping to the finish line, losing more and more momentum as it goes on. This should be a big and exciting story, but the pacing is way off, and nothing ever gets a chance to shine. The art is good, but it hasn't been as good as I was hoping it would be with two issues remaining. Read Full Review
It's entertaining at the moment, but can't quite justify its existence between months with more substantial developments. Read Full Review
Spectacular issue that left me, again, wanting more. Zdarsky continues his phenomenal storytelling but this time we finally get to see the climax to some sections of the story, that we've either been leading to, or it was left purposely vague. For example, we learn how Hal Jordan became the strongest living power battery in the universe. And we see the first confrontation, which has been boiling up for some time, between superman & batman. Both of these moments are very impactful for different reasons but it's nice to see these moments get resolved. Shout out to Zdarsky using more of the new gods in this. I wish we saw mr miracle, big bard, Orion, etc. But I enjoyed the tease of Granny Goodness, the female furies & even Stepphenwolf, gettinmore
Amazing
This was a great action packed issue! Loved seeing Hal defending Oa and going toe to toe with Darkseid and the Parademons.
This is very well written, and so much more engaging than the main JL title.
Gonna be honest. This is a much better Justice League book than Bendis Justice League. This is almost as good as Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil so that's pretty high compliments.
As the previous user had said, this is better than Bendis' run currently. However, I think this series focused too much on character progression and amendments, not making time for much action.
Darkseid is...BOOM! I loved that ending, I loved Hal and the way Zdarsky played with the whole "Darkseid is" thing. Other than that, story's decent but I feel like it still lacks something to truly love it from start to finish.
Mongul was just a distraction, Darkseid clones???
