This comic is cool. Not only do we get stellar art and storytelling, but in some ways it addresses the idea and importance of a Trinity. Im excited to see just how Starfire, Cyborg, and Azrael become analogues for the DC Trinity, but also how Jessica becomes part of the larger picture. There seems to be so much in store for this series and I cant wait to see it. Read Full Review

Secrets remain in the Ghost Sector and Darkseid believes that Starfire, Cyborg, and Azrael are the keys to unlocking them and saving the multiverse. Darkseid seems to know more than he lets on but his true plan has not been revealed yet. Starfire is able to meet a being from a race of people who worship her as a god. Starfire is introduced to an item of immense power presented to her by one of these worshippers, and the power overwhelms her. Is Starfire becoming the god that was prophesied? Read Full Review

But right now, the first two issues have given me every reason to believe that Williamson and Sejic are up to the task they have set themselves. Read Full Review

Justice League Odyssey #2 was a great transition from the opening chapter. We knew what and who brought them to the Ghost Sector, and now we know that there might be a cost to what they uncover about this foretold destiny. This creative team is doing things with these heroes that is refreshing. If you are fans of a new sense of direction for them that's outside of their comfort zone, this is a book worth your investment. Read Full Review

Justice League Odyssey #2 reveals the strange space religions revolving Starfire, Cyborg, and Azrael, and it's as creepy as you'd think it'd be. But the strength of the issue was how the character's motivations pull us forward in the story by providing organic situations that convey their stances. Read Full Review

With a strong opening sequence and an ending that conjures great interest in the further exploration of the impending doom that the Multiverse faces,Justice League Odyssey (2018-) #2is an entertaining read that leaves readers asking, "What if?" Read Full Review

Sejic's art is truly a highlight of this issue. Read Full Review

Bits and Pieces:This was another fun read like the first issue but this one really showed the stakes involved. People are dying, they have no way of communicating with the Green Lantern Corps or the Justice League, and they don't even know if they can really get out at all. And again, the characters are true to their personalities, the dialogue is excellent, and holy freakin' crap the art is GORGEOUS. I thought Sejic was only doing the first issue but I'm glad that he's at least doing a few. So I'm giving it another high score. Even though we're only two issues deep, I'm loving this series so far.

The slow roll doesnt make for the most exciting issue, but Williamson is establishing a solid foundation. Read Full Review

Justice League Odyssey #2 continues the strong start of the first issue by plunging us into the thick of things with the return of Darkseid. Read Full Review

I greatly enjoyed this. The Darkseid bit seems massively contrived to me since I'd prefer our heroes to discover their mission on their own terms, instead of being told by Darkseid who literally disappears after the goal is made clear. The art is brilliant but will be missed. Check it out! Read Full Review

Justice League Odyssey, Joshua Williamson's ambitious deep-space adventure title isn't so much a Justice League title as the title advertises " it actually has more in common with Guardians of the Galaxy. Read Full Review

Much has been made about a new direction for the League both creatively and within the story. If you have at all been disappointed in the last few months by the main teams actions or even if you havent, Justice League Odyssey offers an entirely cosmic twist featuring characters that you know who arent often featured elsewhere. And once youve found your bearings theres a lot to love about the epic size of this storyline and the art that lives up to such lofty aspirations. Time to pack your bags because as the name suggests, this corner of the Justice League is going for a ride. Whether or not its a bumpy one, it should definitely be memorable. Read Full Review

While the comic isn't the grand cosmic adventure I was expecting, the series so far is improving and has a vibe to it that reminds me of the recent Dark Knights: Metal event. I have a feeling the overall story is going to be more enjoyable than each part as the puzzle comes together. So far, it's intriguing though not quite enough to get me truly excited. Read Full Review

With what feels like a very dark ending to the issue, we're all left bemused by the mystery. It's too early into the series to receive any real answers, but I feel that the mystery isn't what we're meant to focus on. Maybe we should see how this team tackles the troubles they find in deep space, and wonder about their shared fate later. Read Full Review

It's an ok issue. I'm really only writing this review because I have the distinct feeling no one is reading this book. The writing isn't bad and the art is quite attractive, but it's such a slow burn that it's impossible to recommend. Maybe once it really gets going I can tell you "This book has a slow start but it really picks up in issue whatever" but, so far, I can say that it's fine. Pick it up if it seems interesting, but otherwise you can probably skip it. Read Full Review

Justice League Odyssey #2 is definitely an improvement compared to its debut, but there are still some opportunities that need to be sorted through. While the plot and narrative as a whole are quite intriguing, the dialogue and script could stand to endure a little more work before publication. Read Full Review

Bland characters and rushed art make Justice League Odyssey #2 a mediocre issue. Read Full Review

The visually stunning artwork is only more disappointing wants you realize it is only an exquisite husk for a relatively empty interior devoid of meaning Read Full Review

Its better than JLO#1. I have high hopes for this. Cosmic adventures, if well done, are my favorite kind of comics. And Jessica Cruz, man. I just love her.

Cosmic DC hasn't really been my thing - but with Stjepan on art I will continue getting this book until he's no longer drawing it.

Jessica Cruz and Starfire look amazing and that panel of Darkseid and Cyborg squaring off is so cool..

Enough about the art though - I do like this team, really interesting pairings. I have no previous knowledge of Azrael so whether or not this is within character I can't say. I am excited for Darkseid to eventually betray everyone, but for now down for the ride. Tying into the release of all the worlds in No Justice was a nice touch - this book is turning out to be a lot better than that event.

The foil cover is only thing I did not like.

I didn't plan to take this issue. The one for me was way better than Justice League & Justice League Dark, but i wasn't that interested.
Thanks to my curiosity I open it and the art made me try it. So yeah there is some issue like how Azrael is written. But I will fiercely defend the choice for Jessica. I think the gardian think it was a simple job (After all nothing can exit the zone & they make this a No Go Zone. So what can turn wrong right ?). And jessica access very fast that they aren't in force to do something there, so she try to send a message to the corps. I also like how Starfire is written. Cyborg is a little less annoying than in JL and even have a good line when darkseid can't take him out. And yeah Darkseid isn't the one who know. Less impressive & no omega beam. But I like what I read & the cliffanger was good.

Cover - I wanted badly a metal cover but I choose the variant. Why ? Because Jessica by Dodson is so beautiful. And with was she send at Darkseid I find this a little in link. 1.5/2
Writing - Some of the idea is interesting, shame some of the characters seem a little out of characters. 2/3
Arts - The arts are magnificent. Very inventive for giving me a spice of Alien word & race. 3/3
Feeling - Can be shure to be there next month, but did a great job not chasing me far away like JL & JLD did. 1/2 more

Well, this was better.

This issue was a big improvement over the last one. And I'm not talking about art. The art was impeccable just like last time. I'm talking about the story. It became much more interesting and actually made me wonder what will happen next.

Some very old alien races worshiping our heroes as gods? How can this be? And can Darkseid have some actually higher motives than ruling the universe?

Yeah, this book has my interest now.

A fair sight better than the last issue, if still a little clunky in spots. Great art.

After an extremely long layover between reviews, we pick up with our makeshift Justice League team (Azrael, Cyborg, Starfire, and GL Jessica Cruz) as they battle Darkseid. 

JL Odyssey #2 is a decent read. The art is amazing the plot is interesting but the dialogue, particularly in the first half is very choppy. The confrontation between Darkseid and the League goes about as well as can be expected as he quickly dispatches Azrael, Starfire, and Cruz. Cyborg manages to hold his own against Darkseid which leads him to draw the conclusion that something is wrong with the Lord of Apokalips. 

Darkseid pulls Cyborg to the site of a temple littered with the bodies of the planet's inhabitants. Curiously, there is also a large statue dedicated to Starfire. 

Darkseid offers Cyborg a truce but when the rest of the League arrive at the location, he disappears.

A survivor appears and reveals that the planets inhabitants dedicated themselves to the worship of Starfire. After a series of calamities, the populace of the planet was apparently slaughtered by angels.

The man takes them to a multiversal key. When Starfire tells him that she can't read the language he then transfers his knowledge to her. This allows her to read the mysterious text but also destabilizes the planet and overwhelms her with darkness.

The back half of the issue presents an intriguing scenario but I'm not sure that the mystery is interesting enough to sustain an audience for an entire series. 

The art is great but there are no standout moments in regards to art direction or the script. The fight with Darkseid ends quickly and ultimately is inconsequential. 

All of the elements of a great series are here but the thread tying the disparate elements together appears to be missing.  more

It was ok, but nothing outstanding for me. It is nice to see Darkseid not being portrayed as a total idiot, but this current reminder of his humiliating deafeat in Darkseid War is just getting annoying. What I also don’t like is, that the origin of the New Gods are ignored again, but it’s too early to judge what is really up with the old gods here. I hope this series will restore Darkseids former glory.

While still little fuzzy on the details, this first story arc seems like it will either be a one of the best or falls to its death. Starting out good is what we get in a lot of DC books, now let’s see if it can maintain that, something that most DC books don’t do. Hoping next issue answers more questions on Darkseid since last we saw him in Wonder Woman. Btw loving how much Jessica has grew since her rebirth first issue in Green Lanterns

I’m not really invested in this, and I don’t think Darkseid is very in character at this point.

The dialogue is really bad at some points. I'm not on board for this weird plot.
