Justice League of America #29 is an upbeat and action-packed finale to one of the more unique JLA teams to have come about in some time. It was an enjoyable read, and I can easily recommend it. Check it out. Read Full Review

One can only really feel disappointment in a story when it comes so close to being really good. I have enjoyed the line-up, the storytelling, most of the villains, and the art on this run of Justice League of America. But the brevity of the run prevented this book from being all that it might have been. Read Full Review

Steve Orlando's Justice League of America comes to a satisfying close in Justice League of America #29, as the Justice League line wraps up in preparation for May's "No Justice" event. Read Full Review

In the end, this book could have used another issue to wrap up its overall story instead of cramming it onto the end of the Chronos arc, but it still concluded on a satisfying note. Hopefully, Scott Snyder will pick up on the giant concept that Orlando left on the table when he starts his Justice League run next month, or alternately, they can give Orlando another book to explore that idea. Either way, there are big things ahead for the team, so the story will go on regardless. Read Full Review

This is a good issue for the finale of this title. I like the idea of the Justice Foundation, and I am eager to see this is incorporated into other titles. Read Full Review

Less a conclusion to this series and more the pathway to others, Justice League of America ends on a curious note. Between fleeting moments of greatness and strong character work, the setup for stories and teams to come makes this issue feel oddly incomplete. Because of that, the series feels unfinished as well, since it effectively serves as a pitch for two other books. Regardless, the stuff I like is really strong and I genuinely like it, and even with its shortcomings the book is neither offensive nor a disaster. I wish, in the end, that it could have maybe aimed higher or had a clearer path cut out from the beginning, but we got to spend some time with some likable characters. And Lobo. Who is awesome.

The ending leaves you feeling like you grew with these characters and read something enjoyable, even though most of what lead to that point was pretty bland. Read Full Review

I really, truly hate to say this about someone's work, but it's about time this series ended. The stories weren't terribly interesting and Orlando just doesn't fit this kind of story. The art in this issue is mostly very good but even it has its flaws. We have a bright new future of Justice League books coming in just a few weeks, which makes this issue feel less and less relevant. Read Full Review

Steve Orlando's run of JLA is over and it's about 28 issues overdue.  This book started with an interesting team and concept that was quickly lost in a landslide of awful dialogue, terrible pacing, questionable characterizations and just bad storytelling.  All that said, I am happy I'm done reviewing it so at least it finally brought me some happiness.

And, with that, Justice League of America #29 and the series comes to a close. Will there be a follow-up? Maybe. Steve Orlando certainly seems to want one enough to set it up here, but who knows if DC will actually see it through. In conclusion, as much as I wish I could say it was a pleasure reviewing all five prequel one-shots, twenty-nine issues, and the one annual of Justice League of America, it really wasn't. But, it is something I felt uniquely obligated to commit to. As such, I don't think my work will be completely done until I tackle a certain five-issue crossover event when its trade is released in June. Spoiler: it's Milk Wars. Read Full Review

The art from Hugo Petrus is serviceable, although at times a little sketch heavy. His depiction of a bearded Batman makes me want a hairy faced Dark Knight all the time, while his rendition of Ahl is a cross between a long-haired surfer dude and an underwear model. His facial expressions are amazing, especially his females. Read Full Review

But in a lot of ways, that feels emblematic for Justice League of America, for a franchise that has seen major names try to launch a spinoff series and failing to really catch fire. For Orlando and company, it particularly didn’t help to have this series kneecapped with Batman’s absence during Dark Nights: Metal, robbing this team of a solid figurehead or even a striking modus operandi in the realm of the Legends of Tomorrow or the Outsiders. What is the Justice League of America supposed to be about? That’s the question this finale only barely gets to scratch, capping off this series with a surprisingly quiet end. Read Full Review

When JLA started, I was curious what is it going to be - the team had potential, especially with inclusion of Killer Frost, considering how popular she has become all thanks to The Flash TV series. Sadly, the run went downhill almost immediately, and I lost any interest in it after couple of first issues, most likely less than 5.

I wouldn't pick up this issue if I didn't know the series just got cancelled, and I guess I'm not surprised it was; quite contrary. I will mourn cancellation of Super Sons for months to come, but JLA was wasting its potential since the very beginning, and I sure am ready to forget about it.

Let's hope new team-ups will end up better than it, and stand up to our expectations fueled by otherwise very strong line of Rebirth titles. more
