This was a very strong start for Justice League Red #1, and I really look forward to seeing what's next. The creative team has me very hopeful that it'll be a banger of a comic run. Read Full Review

The ending introduces a major new player I'm excited to see Ahmed get the chance to write, but this first issue was heavily about setting up the concept and was a little slower than I'm used to seeing from DC. It's an unusual choice for an ongoing spinoff, but the full team being teased here has potential. Read Full Review

Henry delivers great art throughout the story I love the visual style and how it creates both the characters and look of the series. Read Full Review

Justice League Red #1 takes the tried and true trope of a covert ops superhero team and flips it on its ear, promising a deeper story to come. Future issues should hopefully bring in more team members, and build upon this book's major twist. Read Full Review

The Justice League is in a great place right now. DC All-In and “We Are Yesterday” have set up a lot of great story ideas for the team. Justice League Red #1 adds to that. I'm always a little leery about Ahmed's work after wowing readers with his Black Bolt series, Ahmed has been kind of disappointing ever since, and his Wolverine has torpedoed the books sales but this issue takes an idea I like (the black ops Justice League team a la Justice League Elite) and sets it up well, asking some interesting questions about the League and AI. Henry's art is very good, and does a great job with the script. Henry's art doesn't wow you, but it's still pretty aesthetically pleasing. Finally, it brings back one of my favorite DC characters, with a plot that can go a variety of ways. All in all, I'll be buying the next issue of this book to find out where it's going and you should too. Read Full Review

Justice League Red #1 is an enjoyable debut issue that efficiently sets the scene and jumps into the action. Writer Saladin Ahmeds voice for the main players of the issue comes through strong and is brought to life by Clayton Henry and Arif Prianto. Some interesting elements are introduced late in the issue, including an unexpected character. Justice League offshoots arent anything new, but with the inclusion of the team depicted on the cover and the twists in this issue, Justice League Red has a lot of potential. Read Full Review

This sort of thing had been done before. Heroes occasionally have to assemble to go on secret missions. It happens. What Ahmed and company bring to the premise is a somewhat cunning sense of execution that includes an intriguing mystery. The whole...dangers of artificial intelligence end of things has been explored to death in comic books over the years, but things have been developing with AI so quickly on THIS side of the comics page that its a good idea to periodically check back with the topic in the DC Universe.

Justice League Red #1 is a great start to a series that promises to be an action-packed thrill ride. The premise is fascinating, the characters are compelling, and the art is top-notch. Despite a few minor issues with the dialogue, the overall narrative is captivating and will leave you excited for the next issue. Read Full Review

The art is as fantastic as you'd expect from Clayton Henry, but this premise feels a little overplayed. The roster is definitely enough to keep me interested for awhile and here's hoping Saladin Ahmed has some twists and turns to throw at us to make this story feel more unique. Read Full Review

It is possible that Justice League Red might read better in a single volume than as a monthly series. There's a good idea at its core, but the artwork is stilted, the cast is questionable, and the execution is lacking. Sadly, this first issue has too many red flags to encourage continued reading.

The art was fine, the writing was kinda meh, but the premise is really interesting. X-Force but Justice League is something I can probably get behind. A lot will probably depend on what members are added but Power Girl is enough to give this series a long-ish leash with me, so I'll give it at least a few issues.
