It's Cyborg and Jessica Cruz versus giant battle robots-to the death! To save her teammates, Starfire must absorb the next language in the Codex in order to gain new, dark powers. But this Rosetta Stone could prove dangerous to Kory! And betrayal looms for the Odyssey League when Rapture kidnaps Azrael and offers him a deal that could save the Ghost Sector-as long as he sells out his teammates.
While it's anyone's guess how things will fully play out, Justice League Odyssey #5 is an outstanding entry, and it's one you don't want to miss. Read Full Review
With Justice League Odyssey #5, Williamson provides us with the tightest and strongest narrative since the series' first issue. Read Full Review
Things have been kicked up a notch in the newest issue of Justice League Odyssey. Cyborg has discovered not only Darkseid's true plan, but also the location of Tamaran. Darkseid begins his quest to rule the Ghost Sector, and Azrael's followers have declared war on the "Old Gods". Is our team of heroes enough to protect and bring order to this dangerous sector?

Carmine Di Giandomenico's art is beautiful in its detailed chaos. There is so much happening on the page visually, but there is focus among the action and every page contains something amazingly detailed to admire. There are so many great panels to look at in this issue and the pace of the story is also found in the art. It's a visceral, visual feast for the eyes. Read Full Review
After a shaky start,Justice League Odyssey is really starting to go places. I'm excited to see where it heads! Read Full Review
Justice League Odyssey #5 was met with excellent pacing and discovery which has taken us farther than you thought we would be at this point in the series. Exploration and adventure is great, but so is progress. It's great that this creative team is trying to give us all of that and much more. Especially now that it is currently more dangerous than it has ever been to find yourself in a place like the Ghost Sector. Read Full Review
Without his art, I suspect my problems with the storyline would be much greater. So its a darn good thing his visuals make this fun. Read Full Review
This book is genuinely weird, evidenced by the fact that the mismatched crew find themselves on a planet that worships the Azrael while Starfire and Jessica Cruz ride Lantern constructs while battling robots. Yet in the heart of all this insanity, writer Joshua Williamson end his run by cleverly weaving in a story involving Cyborg and Darkseid that promises to have Multiversal implications.

Justice League Odyssey #5 reminds us that this book is a puzzle piece in the enormous Justice League story being told across three books right now. If you're a completionist like myself, this is one of the things you live for. All these books are droppin' mad breadcrumbs, and I'm getting fat off all the clues and threads. Read Full Review
This issue feels like the end of act one, as the ragtag group of heroes discovers the true nature of the threat they're facing and regroups. It's all a mess, but it's an entertaining mess " and would be more so if it wasn't for the fact that this story will likely be completely retooled again next month. Read Full Review
While not without its flaws, "Justice League Odyssey" #5 amps up its game and sets the board from some unique events going forward. Read Full Review
This issue feels very crucial for the future of the series. Many complications have presented themselves to our heroes, and it's all going to get more tense in deep space. Read Full Review
Williamson and Giandomenico continue to display their ability to collaborate tremendously well, although this entertaining space opera lacks the higher purpose, still remains an entertaining title will bringing readers out each month. As the JLO move one step closer towards becoming a true to form team, secrets still hide behind everything, especially when Darkseid is involved. Read Full Review
This whole series should be so much better. So I'm also glad that Abnett is jumping on as the writer of this series starting with the next issue. Hopefully, he'll shed some light on why they're worshipped as gods, smooth out the storytelling, and make this thing as good as it started. Read Full Review
This was a forgettable arc that calls into question this books entire existence. I sincerely hope Dan Abnett will prove why it has one. Read Full Review
A good issue.
Pretty fun!
How much I would love to love this, but even so the story finally got more exciting, I’ll bet DC ruins it in the end. JL Odyssey promises what I hoped for since New52 started, that Darkseid finally would get his real powers back, rule over Apokolips again& that I can finally forget about the Darkseid War disaster Johns put him through. It’s one of Darkseid best portrayals since Death of the New Gods& definitely the best since New52 started.
The other characters still don’t do much, but I bet this story gets ruined by them stopping Darkseid again& him getting humiliated again.
Good issue! It progresses the current story and builds some great team moments! Though feels like this series would look no different if Jessica wasn’t in it. Feels like what we thought this series was going to be about with Darkseid being part of the team was either to fool us or was always going to be a twist. Looking forward to the next issue! The cliffhanger felt like a cliché.
Well this plot twist is boring and lame. The god thing is also boring and lame. I am bored and this is lame.
Nothing interesting has happened yet. I find this series very tedious to read. Definitely feels like a botched Justice League title.
