I knew the Legion was showing up next issue but this still was a great ending. The Legion is back and in good hands! So some great characterization, an origin of Equinox that leaves me thirsty for more, a new plotline and a compelling cliffhanger. Just another smart and slick issue of Justice League United. For what might be considered a 'rest issue' this moved things along and entertained. The art just wasn't my cup of tea. Read Full Review
Overall, the issue relieved some of the fears I had going in that losing Mike McKone would kill the vibe of the book " Green and Lemire fit together nicely and craft a story that I am excited to pick up again in 28 days. Read Full Review
We finally get to see Equinox come into her own in this issue and become a member of the Justice League United and surprising we also get to see Alanna do the same thing. The strange thing about this story arc is even though we just got the team out of space in the last issue, the majority of the team head back for another mission and it just seems like a odd choice. Now the majority of the artwork was solid in this issue with the exception of Martian Manhunter who for some reason was going for a more Martian look this issue I guess, whatever it was I couldn't get behind it and it will probably give me nightmares now. It's another good issue and I shouldn't have any complaints really, but for some reason I find myself being bored by the series and I don't understand how this could happen. Go get it and read it, because it's a good team with a lot of potential and maybe I'll get on the trolley as the series continues. Read Full Review
As a final note, the last scene of this issue, featuring Martian Manhunter acts as a prologue for the books next arc, The Infinitus Saga. While Im not a huge fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes, it is nice to see them get some attention now and then. And despite the cliched hero vs. hero bit thats at least going to kick off The Infinitus Saga, it should prove to be a interesting story. Hopefully, now that weve got the books biggest origins-related exposition dump out of the way, it can return to just being a fun, interesting Justice League book. Read Full Review
On the whole, this issue provides a necessary showcase for the book's less defined characters. It's just a shame the spotlight didn't remain more on them. Read Full Review
"Justice League United" #5 is the sort of book that has great ideas but just an average execution. The pedigree of this creative team still gives me hope, though; it feels like it's inching towards that stronger run, especially now that the early building blocks have concluded. For now, it's trucking along at a steady pace, but I want the book to hit the proverbial accelerator soon. Read Full Review
Lemire is still finding his footing in a team book. I do enjoy the banter and characterizations. The plot needs tightening up. I anticipate improvement in the next arc.
A very good issue after an introductory arc that probably lasted a little too long. Great to focus on Equinox, highlight Alanna and it even starts off a B-plot for the next arc as well as the A-plot. Art is a bit nuts in places, but the colours are excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
A whole lot of mediocrity. Alanna and Miiyahbin have nearly identical costumes? J'onn doesn't look like J'onn...
