Justice League Unlimited #7 delivers a gripping penultimate chapter packed with emotional resonance, world-ending stakes, and top-tier visuals. Waid's script soars with ambition, while Moore and Bonvillain elevate every panel into a cosmic opera of chaos and hope. The cliffhanger is brutal, the action is explosive, and the heart oh, the heart is very much intact. Read Full Review
Mark Waid has the entirety of the DCU to play with here, and he's making the most of it. Read Full Review
This storyline is moving at a brisk pace almost too brisk for so many fun possibilities to explore. In an era where writers are quick to drag out story arcs as long as possible the We Are Yesterday might actually benefit from Waid taking more time on some of these various scenarios.

A story that has crossed-over to a few different titles finally settles-down to its beg conclusion in JLU next month. The pre-summer dual-title crossover has been pretty well-modulated for such a thing in the current era. Every piece of the crossover seemed to connect to every other piece of it quite well without overpowering any of the individual characters that came into contact with it. It even does a solid job of connecting-up with elements that were put int place during the dawn of DCs All-In initiative. Quite impressive integration for the current era of superhero comics, which generally dont have a very solid focus on deeper continuity. Read Full Review
Justice League Unlimited #7 is a well-paced, thrilling, and essential chapter in the “We Are Yesterday” crossover. Waid, Moore, and the rest of the creative team have delivered a strong entry in this series. All eyes are now on the final chapter, with the expectation of major hints for the DC Universe's immediate future. Read Full Review
Waid is totally sifting through the DCU and bringing it. This was a fun issue. I glossed over the League members being stranded in their different times but they were fun. I like Airwave isn't a villain any more. And I like he is leading a team against the souped-up Grodd. Read Full Review
The villains journey comes ahead in Justice League Unlimited #7 and the penultimate chapter in We Are Yesterday. At this point, its fair to assume that the we could refer to the Legion of Doom since this has been their story the whole time. The how and why of Grodds master plan have been revealed, but it feels like the what has yet to be revealed. Read Full Review
A crossover between two series depicting the same characters at different points in life seems like a tall order, but this creative team has been handling it perfectly. At no point has Justice League Unlimited lost its distinct style and tone, and if this issue is any indication, then readers are in for a treat with the finale of the We Are Yesterday crossover event. Read Full Review
Justice League Unlimited #7 is the chapter that the "We Are Yesterday crossover needed. The last two chapters of this crossover felt like it slowed things down way too much. Here we finally see things picked up as the Justice League Unlimited confront Gorilla Grodd. Read Full Review
An entertaining time travel romp that improves upon previous issues, though it unfortunately loses itself somewhat in its own chaos. There are worthwhile developments, but the series feels disrupted by the crossover. Read Full Review
Wolverine and Kitty Pryde #2 continues the same excitement as its predecessor, but has even more heart. With the loving conversation that took place between Logan and Mariko, or between Kitty and her dad, you can see so much emotion bouncing off the pages. Read Full Review
Justice League Unlimited Issue 7 makes too many moves too late. This crossover has struggled to maintain movement and momentum. This issue has a fantastic concept but the transition between chapters is jarring. Read Full Review
Lost in the time stream, the JL can't do anything, but the Legion of Doom sure can (poor Ralph).
The art isn't to the standard the book has had, but Waid's writing compensats for it. The Luthor twist was well done.
My only complaint with this storyline is that villains like the Joker, Cheetah, Captain Cold, etc haven't done much of anything and they could easily have been replaced with simple henchmen. One issue left to correct that (maybe).
This crossover has been average, average story, average art.
Not got much to do other than it feels like there’s is so many characters who are being wasted in this. Literally doing nothing.
Where’s Batman and Superman Grodd is asked? He shrugs it off like not planning for the two biggest threats is a good thing to do.
Can’t help but feel Waid is phoning this in. Maybe him losing faith in humanity is starting to show in his writing 🤷♂️
