Lost beyond the edge of the universe, the misfit team of Justice League Odyssey crosses paths with Epoch. The Lord of Time has a great plan to solve everything, but it might be the single most dangerous thing anyone has ever done. As Jessica Cruz and her team try to figure out if he's a genius, or crazy-or both-time is running out. A new threat is closing in on them, in the form of Darkseid's latest generation of lethal New Gods.
The power of this book is the discovery of Jessica Cruz. Her growth and dynamic approaches create powerful waves that resonate with every character. The result is a chain reaction of great storytelling. Dan Abnett and his amazing team have cemented this space-faring odyssey into an epic. Read Full Review
I'm loving Jessica Cruz's humanistic leadership in Justice League Odyssey #19, as she's basically the thread holding the whole team together. I'm hoping that the original JLO can be picked back up, despite some crucial departures in this issue courtesy of some cold and calculated deaths (oops…a spoiler or two). But we are dealing with Epoch, and if the math is correct, no one ever really dies in the comics. Right Jessica? Read Full Review
Cliff Richards handles the art this issue and hes well up to the challenge of making the pages look as cinematic and dramatic as possible. Colorist Rain Beredo goes with darker hues that fit the tone of the story well. Read Full Review
Right now I'm just happy that we have gotten to a point in this book where it feels right saying that the story is readable. Justice League Odyssey #19 gets us to a point where there is more confidence in the direction this book is taking as one which is far from done with the chaos in fighting for the fate of everything.

Cliff Richards delivers some rich and powerful art throughout this issue. There are some great action sequences and the final panels lead to an awesome cliffhanger revealed in the final image. Read Full Review
JUSTICE LEAGUE ODYSSEY #19 ramps up the stakes ten-fold by revealing Epoch's plan. Only time will tell (no pun intended) if he will be able to pull it off, and what it will mean for history itself. Read Full Review
Justice League Odyssey remains one of the best superhero books available today. Read Full Review
It's an odd little side story in the DCU, but one that's gotten consistently more entertaining. Read Full Review
Justice League Odyssey #19 offers a well-balanced combination of seriousness and good ol' fashioned fun. There is enough mystery surrounding Epoch that leaves the reader with no idea what is coming next. Only time will tell. There are enough fun bits that make picking up an issue worth it. Head over to your local comic book shop or wherever you get comics. Read Full Review
I'll admit it: I'm pretty confused about how the manipulation machine is actually going to work once Epoch gets those evil-less continuity balls activated. All of the damn talking did nothing to make it easier to understand and made it more confusing. Yeah, it's a long read because there's a lot of boring talking and a lot of it will almost put you to sleep. But the issue has a few good moments, especially the fight at the end. And I've been loving Cliff Richards' art on this title. Read Full Review
This book has turned into something really special.
Prelude:
Recently, Justice League Odyssey has been really good, so let's see how that unfolds in this issue.
The Good:
The New Gods are cool and interesting even if 1/2 of them are just cannon fodder.
Epoch's approach is interesting.
Conrad's art was good.
The Bad:
Story feels like it's moving slowly.
Conclusion:
It's a very good story but I feel like it's moving a bit too slow at times.
Dex-Starr first playing with a pebble, and then kill aliens. The story is dragging. Four-dimensional grammar is a great idea.
