I think it's ok& definitely the better choice than Female Furies, if you are a New Gods fan.
Justice League: Odyssey #9
| Writer | Dan Abnett |
| Artist | Daniel Sampere, Juan Albarran |

In this issue, Cyborg stands alone against the unstoppable fury of the Eskaton!

The fate of the Ghost Sector hangs in the balance, but has the Odyssey team picked the right side?

May 09, 2019With excellent character work and artwork that allows the readers to empathize with the characters, Justice League Odyssey #9 is easily the best issue of the series thus far. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Rick Lopez
May 15, 2019As the mystery behind Darkseids plans continues to bleed out with each new issue, the team must join forces with the New God if they plan to double-cross him at the last moment. The series continues to stand head and shoulders above its first iteration. With the new arc beginning in the next issue, it will stand as the perfect chance for no readers looking to jump onto the title as well. Read Full Review

May 08, 2019Justice League Odyssey #9 aligned us with Jessica Cruz's perspective as the rest of the team is coming off like they've been drinking too much of Darkseid's Kool-Aid. Jessica might have to throw some Lantern hands with her buddies in the coming issues. And if it's anyone, I'm glad it's her. She's the most level headed out of all of them. Read Full Review

May 08, 2019Justice League Odyssey has been an enjoyable read overall even when it dips into exposition territory and, to an extent it does that this week. However, this issue it's a weird shift of sorts that may finally be starting to give Green Lantern Jessica Cruz a real purpose in the story. Read Full Review

May 08, 2019JLO is on a nice rebound as of late. Once it gets a consistent artist and Abnett does more with the characters, this will be a title readers are going to anticipate each month. Read Full Review

Dark Knight News - Adam Ray
May 09, 2019This series is now in full swing. The biggest threat to the team has loomed its head in Justice League Odyssey #9, and not from a place any of the characters were expecting. This will make future issues all the more dramatic. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Joey Casco CSW/CSS
May 08, 2019One good thing is that this book seems to be coming closer to colliding with the other Justice League books and providing a purpose. The bad thing is, and I've liked this title more than a lot of people, it doesn't deserve to be important. Seriously, what they're doing here is probably more important to saving the universe than what's going on in the Justice League book but it doesn't feel important. Also, the only two sane people in this title right now are Jessica and Blackfire. Honestly, I'm hoping Jessica actually does go through with it and mops the floor with them. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Cody White
May 12, 2019Perhaps I'm over analyzing the speech in a desperate search for meaning in an otherwise dull read, but it would seem Abnett is using the Ghost Sector as a metaphor for comics fandom. With fandom becoming more and more an "Us vs. Them" environment, there seems to be a veiled call to unite within the sanctuary of comics here. Or maybe it is just my imagination running wild.

Cyborg kicks ass in this issue with all his mother box machinery. Sephulkore seems to be an intriguing idea till now. The end takes an interesting turn, let's hope it holds true moving forward.

This series had a very sloppy start and continues to be sloppy, but not to the point that I am not having a decent time. This is my only Jessica Cruz fix right now though, so I may be generous...

This issue was ok, but felt more like a filler. All we saw was Azrael getting Anti life equations like powers out of nowhere& ending the battle with Blackfire, who was so annoying I'm glad she is beaten now. Never got her problem she's having with Darkseid. The team also comes to the conclusion, that Darkseid is right- we knew this issues ago- and they now want to help him, but betray him as well. No Darkseid in this issue, what made the issue kind of boring, because the other characters are portrayed quite boring here. I only keep reading this because of Darkseid, he's the best part of the story. Still wish his plans finally would be successful& he would gain his powers & throne back. Not a good time for Darkseid fans. That's for sure. more

A book with fan favorites seems to not be quite working! Could be the dialogue or story, the art is great but something is eh! Doesn't grab attention and get me excited for next issue.

This title works as well as Abnett's Titans did, but I can't put all the blame on him, or Joshua Williamson. A lot of the blame goes on editorial and the way they neutered this series before it even started. This title is a failure.
