The shocking truth about the Ghost Sector, and why Brainiac hid these planets away for so long, is finally revealed! But before the Odyssey team can take action, a catastrophic event rocks the Ghost Sector. All this, and a decidedly hostile welcome from Queen Komand'r, better known as Starfire's sister, Blackfire!

    Carmine Di Giandomenico's art is stunning. There is so much activity in every panel and everything including the backgrounds is filled with energy. Read Full Review

    Now it also goes without saying that this issue was going to be a dealbreaker for those who were on the fence about switching up the writers for Justice League Odyssey. It was tough to say, but Dan Abnett made for a great replacement and gave us the kind of fresh perspective needed to maintain interest in this adventure. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Rick Lopez Mar 5, 2019

    Having saved this title from an early grave, Abnett and Giandomenico start their new journey together with the team into new and brighter horizons. With Darkseid taking center stage behind the curtains, this allows for an previously unseen aspect to the Justice League mythos and new storytelling avenues for Abnett to go down as a whole. As this series finds its legs, the readers are sure to follow the exploits of this niche group of heroes. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Marcus Freeman Feb 27, 2019

    A new creative team does not bail out our team of heroes from the insanity within the Ghost Sector. Darkseid continues his quest but for the first time in his existence he is now prey and not the predator. The Odyssey team is hot on Darkseid's trail but is taking time to mourn for the state of Tamaran and survive the assault from Blackfire and her minions. Dan Abnett has set in motion his plans to create a new space epic. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Matt Meyer Mar 6, 2019

    While I can't say this issue was bad by any means,JLO has foundational issues with its core conceit that underscores even its best intentions. Where these characters are going, why readers should care about them, why they're even together - these are flaws that no change in writers may be able to overcome. While on an issue-by-issue basis there's fun to be had and some strong character beats, something needs to snap into place fast or this book may be doomed. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Chris Showalter Feb 27, 2019

    Dan Abnett starts off his first issue of Justice League Odyssey with a bang. Literally. Unfortunately, a lot of the momentum that had been built throughout the previous issue has been lost due to a few storytelling choices. Abnett's narration boxes are entertaining to read, but I think some moments would benefit more from the "show-don't-tell" approach. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Feb 27, 2019

    I like the cast of characters in this book, but unfortunately, both the plot and the villains are lacking anything to make it half as compelling as its supernatural sister book. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Adam Ray Feb 27, 2019

    This issue's ending delivered the plot twist this title and that particular character deserved. It's very easy to become bored of characters becoming repetitive. A twist like this will set back the actions of this character a great deal, and we can only imagine what will become of the story as a result. I look forward to the title's new direction.

    DC Comics News - Ari Bard Mar 1, 2019

    Justice League Odyssey #6 is a fresh start that shows the potential of the great cosmic odyssey the series could be. The book isn't quite there yet, but with Dan Abnett at the helm, we are well on our way. Read Full Review
