    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Nov 28, 2024

    Tamra Bonvillain's color work is gorgeous. With even more characters to work with, Bonvillain has an even more exciting color palette to unleash. Letterer Ariana Maher does fun layouts with the sound effects. Waid throws in a little twist at the end that's hopefully just a red herring. Justice League Unlimited #1 is every bit as exciting and fun as it sounded. With this creative team locked in, it doesn't seem a stretch that this could quickly become DC's top title.

    Batman-News - Akash Sil Nov 27, 2024

    I had my apprehensions about an Unlimited style of Justice League, and frankly, I still do. But this issue does a fantastic job of realizing the idea of such a League. While the plot is generic, there are some solid hooks, especially around the character of Air Wave, who looks to be a key character moving forward. I will look forward to seeing if the new series can maintain this level of quality in the upcoming issues. Read Full Review
