As the time-displaced heroes fight for their lives against the towering might of the demonic neron, Mr. Terrific descends into the cold vacuum of space! But this time it’s by his own design…can Michael Holt team with the rogue agent behind Justice League Red to purge all emotion and coldly calculate the fate of humanity? Grab the tissues, everybody—this issue’s about to break some hearts!
Justice League Unlimited #14 is unpredictable and exciting and honestly Im loving this side mission so far and loving getting to know these versions of the characters so far and the chaos isn't over just yet! Read Full Review
JLU 14 doesn't feel like a low-level issue since it's missing the "main heroes. This DC KO tie-in is for big stakes and plays out like the heroes are in serious danger of losing it all. Read Full Review
Waid was the writer of the original Underworld Unleashed story, which is coming up on its thirtieth anniversary, so this is a great tribute to that original story that leans into the over-the-top horror vibe of the original while pushing it even further with some great creepy visuals especially in the other main story.

I continue to enjoy this version of JLU overall since it's going for big splashy stuff and playing with some of the characters in really emotional ways. Messing with Terrific and this version of Superman is definitely interesting as we see them already starting to shift in personality, and the environment they're going through is not anywhere near the norm for them. The other smaller events unfolding are pretty fun as well, since I like the concept of a Watchtower that's more generally open to heroes, and seeing the scope and panic of what they have to deal with. Throwing in the Atomic Skull as one of the bad's running around in Oklahoma with his own kind of twisted church is definitely fun and is going to play out more in the next issue than the tease we get here.

Heroes rise and heroes fall as the "Terrific Ten pays a high cost in their journey in Hell. Waid throws many looks at the readers with the ever mounting drama. Mora and Bonvillain construct amazing images cementing the losing fight the League has gotten wrapped up in. One thing is for certain here: There is no easy way out. Read Full Review
This is yet another solid albeit rough entry in the hit series that is held back by heavy exposition, some distractingly overlooked details, and the usual growing pains of being a tie-in issue. Read Full Review
While I believe Waid is having fun revisiting the unleashed underworld and Neron, I think he seems less excited by the current DC KO goings-on and is trying to make the best of the tie-in. The art as always is gorgeous, but this feels a bit like lesser Waid brilliance compared to previous issues.
