This issue is just another puzzle piece to the larger puzzle of Orlando's JLA plans, and I'm ready to see the final product. Read Full Review

Justice League of America has some big things in the mix but it's dancing so far around the edges of it right now that it feels like it's killing time more than anything else. Read Full Review

When the story is all over, and one can read it all as a single tale (or as a collected edition) I suspect that the problems I am feeling with this issue will be negated. But having to review this specific issue on its own merit, it just doesnt hit the mark for me. Read Full Review

All in all, a sturdy issue from Orlando and team as story arc kicks into another gear in Justice League of America #17. Read Full Review

Hopefully these last two filler issues will be worth it getting all this back story where we can really have a great story arcending (fingers crossed). Read Full Review

An uninteresting continuation of an increasingly uninteresting story that should have ended two issues ago. Read Full Review

Justice League of America #16 is basically "What's Ray Palmer Been Up To?: Part 2." It's a filler issue, even though we do gain some ground with the plot. The problem here is that it's hard to care. So much plot and narrative are shoved down our throat so quickly, that the moments meant to create an impact don't land their punches the way they should. I'm still happy to see Ray Palmer and hopeful that we'll get a strong finish to this story, but this issue and its predecessor could be skippable depending on how the next issue plays out.

Qualms aside, as the pieces of the puzzle come together, I find Im enjoying this arc more. The premise was intriguing to begin with, but the approach to the first few issues was sloppy and uninteresting. The past few issues have dropped the split focus between the JLA Away Team and the rest of the cast, which I appreciate as the quick interludes were distracting, and brought more of the focus in on the real star of this arc Ray Palmer. Next issue will be the conclusion to the arc, and hopefully a few answers regarding what has caused the stability issues in the Mircroverse, as well as whether or not they are tied in to the overall Rebirth mythology.

In the end, Justice League of America #16 manages to be better than #15. Yet, that's not saying very much, and, as per usual, it's still not good. And, you know what? I'm getting tired of it. I've read and reviewed every issue of this book thus far, and Jesus Christ, can it please just get better? As much as I've voiced my problems with Steve Orlando as a writer, DC doesn't seem likely to replace him or cancel JLA anytime soon, so I might as well want him to start doing well instead of" whatever it is he's been doing. But until that happens (if it does), don't buy this. Read Full Review

This is a filler issue, plain and simple. Reis needs more time to draw the finale next issue and we are subjected to this painful interlude. Stay as far away from this series as you can. Read Full Review

Justice League of America is a complete waste of time and money and I suggest staying far from it.  This arc should have been something special, but it's just like everything Steve Orlando has given us since the series started...an uninteresting story with huge pacing issues, bad dialogue and poor characterizations.  I want Ray Palmer back in the DCU, but if Orlando will be writing him, I'd rather he hang tight in the Microverse for someone better to take care of him.

This book has been the biggest disappointment of Rebirth it's just garbage, the pacing, storytelling and dialogue has just been awful this issue is no different Steve Orlando needs to be off this book immediately
