The Infinitus Saga reaches its stunning conclusion! The combined might of the JLU, the Legion of Super-Heroes, the Rannian War Fleet and the Thanagarians learn the true meaning of sacrifice as events unfold that will change the DC Universe forever!
This was a tremendous arc and great first year for this title. I suppose it appealed more to Legion fans and those buying the book for the JLU might have felt cheated. But for me, this sizzled. And even if you aren't a Legion fan, the quality of the book was high. Read Full Review
The art is good, although some details are inconsistent, especially in the Legionnaires' costumes. I never thought of White Witch's costume as being so modest, but in looking it up, found it it wasn't. Aside from being shaded inconsistently, a jewel on her throat is missing and her sleeves meet her upper torso costume, instead of being separate articles. I know that sounds like nitpicking, but when there's a splash page of her, a simple Google search would have been nice. However, the storytelling is well done, and the high tension points of the story are depicted in a way that they stand out. For the more mundane storytelling, a traditional panel-to-panel layout is used. Read Full Review
Infinitus is over and what we're left with is the possibility of a future war brewing that will take our heroes back to space and after seeing these heroes in space for the majority of this comic's run, I'd rather have them be Earth bound for awhile because even though this story arc looked great, I found myself bored while reading it. This issue did wrap up everything nicely though and gave us a chance to see our heroes as people and I always appreciate that. Read Full Review
At the beginning, this book was loved, but the last arc had a lot on its plate and had promised more than it could deliver. It is going to be a shame seeing Jeff Lemire leave (it is assumed) this book. I wish him the best wishes on his future projects and hope we will see him at DC again. I also wish the next team on this book knock it out of the park and bring the same charm with our heroes as before. Read Full Review
Have you ever tried actually drawing out a story line? Not, that is, illustrating a tale with pictures or abstract symbols, but using a simple line and its curves to visually represent the development of a plot. Most stories, I suppose, would produce vectors headed inexorably in one direction, the line rising and falling to indicate lulls and crises. A moderately exciting story of drama or adventure would look like a mountain range or a stock market graph. Read Full Review
The membership of this team could be interesting, but they don't seem to be doing as much with them as they could. I hope that changes soon. Read Full Review
Now that's it over, I wish I'd passed on this. The entire Legion wasn't necessary for the end result and I didn'tfind myself caring for this Justice League. For die hard fans only. Read Full Review
Neil Edwards boasts a photorealistic style that makes this wide array of colorful characters seem genuine, but it doesn't look particularly fun. Super-hero action, especially in deep space with aliens, should be more about exaggeration and energy. The linework looks a little rough at times, giving it s rushed look, and the use of two inkers on the issue reinforces that impression somewhat. The art isn't poor, per se; it just doesn't seem like the right fit for a traditional super-hero romp. Read Full Review
Am I crazy or didn’t Wildfire die?
There were about 5116597 characters involved in this book, yet I can only remember three of them, at most.
As expected, very "meh". Just hanging onto this series to see who the new creative team will be.
