And we find out who was really behind everything. Who masterminded all the events of this series, and who benefits from it. That I will leave unspoiled. Its far too good. Read Full Review
A story like Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad was worth the wait. This was the best time for DC to pull this off with strong talent and direction for the DC Universe as a whole. The action was memorable, the characters were fun, the story had meaning, and the end leads to so much potential for all involved. This is how you do a crossover event the right way and make it worth the price. Read Full Review
This is a satisfying conclusion to the story. Both the plot and the artwork convey the frenetic and frenzied energy of the conclusion and it is definitely worth the read. More of this going forward. Read Full Review
Overall this final issue packed one heck of a punch providing some extra insight into the characters, tipping us off to more of Amanda's plans, which may or may not include purposely making Frost pure evil and wrapping things up in this arc just well enough to leave the door open for a second glance. The creative team has taken this arc out with a bang and whether they pick it up again or let it die to be continued in bits and pieces of other comics across the Rebirth universe there is some definite magic occurring on these pages and I was blown away by this issue in a good way.

Overall, this issue isn't as good as the previous ones, but it still caps off an awesome run nicely.Justice League vs. Suicide Squad has been what “Rebirth” promised. It's exciting, fun, true to character, and packs a real punch with its price tag. If you haven't jumped on board yet, wait for the trade. Otherwise, buy this issue. Read Full Review
Large events like Justice League vs. Suicide Squad can be difficult to pull off and Joshua Williamson should be commended for his writing in this series as he managed expertly juggle so many moving pieces and present them in one cohesive story. The reintroduction of Max Lord into the DC universe is probably the most important thing to come out of this series and his presentation as equal parts arrogance, confidence, and delusions of grandeur is near perfection. The art by Howard Porter does an excellent job of propelling the action scenes along and compliments to more intimate moments by drawing the audience eyes to exactly where they need to be. Although it is slow in parts and the reveal of Eclipso as the big bad is a little less than overwhelming, on the whole Justice League vs. Suicide Squad is an entertaining story that presents the two teams in a way that has not been seen before and cements that there is room for both in the DC Universe.

JUSTICE LEAGUE VS SUICIDE SQUAD has had a lot of good in it. The rotating-artist approach allowed for a quick one-a-week release without any delays in scheduling, and most of the artists maintained a rather consistent look across the series. I feel a little disappointed in the conclusion, however. It just felt rushed, and made the entire series seem to be put out as a launch point for two other ongoings. And yes, that may have been the actual point, but the reader shouldn't be as aware of it as I feel I am in this instance. Batman's change of mind on the necessity of Task Force X is a departure from his usual intractible views on justice, and I have to wonder if he's only saying that to get his way with Killer Frost's release or if he truly has found a place of compromise in his philosophy. But that's a debate for another time. Read Full Review

I expected lots of fighting and not much else, a summer popcorn film, but this final issue shows there's a lot more at play here than a clash of titans and that has me beyond excited for what's to come. Read Full Review
The final issue of the epic crossover event leaves you wanting more from the villain and the main showdown. While the majority of the characters don't leave much of an impression, the characterization of Amanda Waller is quite satisfying, as it sets up exciting future events. Read Full Review
Overall, Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #6 is a fun, action-packed read, with plenty of implications for the upcoming JLA title. As a whole, though, the event ended with a bit more of a whimper than a bang. Read Full Review
There were some good moments in this crossover, but it was definitely hindered by the Justice League America focus. Hopefully that title delivers otherwise all the effort spent on Justice League vs. Suicide Squad would have been completely squandered. Read Full Review
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad concludes on a satisfactory note, but could've achieved much more if it hadn't been so focused on being the set-up for Justice League of America. Read Full Review
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad doesn't receive the epic finale it deserved. This final issue wraps up the conflict with Eclipso far too quickly, and places too much emphasis on setting the stage for Justice League of America. However, the battle looks great while it lasts, and the character dynamics suggest that JLA will be a series well worth following. Read Full Review
Man does this conclusion come off forced as hell just to get us to our ending. For all the build up we had, this big bad turned out to be nothing but a chump and ultimately, this was just simply a hokey way to set up the JLA book with strange characters that don't really feel like they belong there. The art was okay, but even that felt a bit rushed at times and I left this event feeling a bit disappointed. Read Full Review
At its best,Justice League vs. Suicide Squad has been funny and action-packed. At its worst, it's been face down in a sloppy muck of awful dialogue and unimpressive artwork. This final installment thankfully looks good, and features some nice humor and gravity here and there, but it gets weighed down considerably under Williamson's poorly-constructed speech and nonsensical plot points. If you've been collecting these and want to complete your set, you'll probably buy this whether I tell you to or not. But if you've been on the fence, jump off on the clean side, and wait until you can read this, collected and cheap, in the future. Read Full Review
Still, while this issue has it's pluses, so many of the negatives that have defined this series remain. Characters are underdeveloped, the pacing is uneven, the action is a little undefined and everything resolves in a cliche manner that leaves readers unsatisfied. Thankfully, both teams currently have books that are more enthralling than their joint venture proved to be. Read Full Review
One of my favorite moments was actually the debriefing after the big climax. I really enjoyed the interactions between the Justice League and the Suicide Squad. Each characters' questions and answers fit their personalities perfectly and captured the fun quality that can be had in these crossovers. Read Full Review
...a fun ending to a fun, well-paced series. Great writing, beautiful pencils (I can't believe this is the same Howard Porter who drew JLA 20 years ago), cool super-hero one-liners and an enemy defeated via pseudo-science that can only (should only) make sense in comic books. This series was (did I mention) fun and issue #6 is a perfect example of everything I love about the medium. My only complaint would be with the last page...it would have been a jaw-dropping twist if Grant Morrison hadn't done the same thing years ago.
SCORE: 9
A really great conclusion.For a pretty good event.
Cool setup for a new series with this final issue of one of DCs better events. I had some trouble understanding whether or not Amanda Waller planned for all this, but I thought the final villain and teamups made up for any confusion.
It is a solid conclusion. It isn't perfect but I enjoyed it more than I expected. The final confrontation with Eclipso is well done and isn't rushed as it could have been. But I don't get why Killer Frost is so important in the main story. The best surprise of the whole event is Lobo: his characterization and his entrance in the team are great. I was really afraid about his role but, ultimately, I loved him. Also, I'm interested by the members of Maxwell Lord's team, who I hope will all come back. The ending is surprising and teases something that seems new and original. What annoyed me most in this issue is that there's too much teasing for the future JLA series. Concerning the artist of the issue, Howard Porter, he's got an incredible andmore
A very solid conclusion to a very solid event. I particularly loved that by the end, it didn't go into typical event fashion and kill off characters and change the status quo forever. It was overall a fun event. Definitely something worth rereading.
Decent, but the wrap up was freaking long.
This was a good event and it helped that it was relatively short, released on time, and concluded in less than two months. However, they really shortchanged one of the more threatening supervillains in Eclipso with this event. For a villain I consider as dangerous as Steppenwolf, he was dispatched way too easily. Obviously he's not dead or destroyed but not a great characterization of him. Also makes me wish that Amethyst is brought back, that was a cancelled New 52 series that had real potential. Obviously this is all a setup for future titles and events and I only have a few minor complaints but overall this one won't stick with you like Darkseid Wars or Forever Evil did.
"There's room in the world for both of our teams." That really doesn't seem like Batman. And he wants Lobo on his team? I'm really starting to wonder why these writers are struggling to write Batman properly.
The story was nothing special and doesn't need much explanation: things are bad all over the world, the new JL is fighting the old JL with each member slowly succumbing to Eclipso's influence, Batman comes up with a plan, Killer Frost unleashes her hidden hero, the day is saved; later the JL and the SS are all best buddies and we see the formation of some new teams.
As a whole event, the final product ended being an overpriced tease for future stories in several other books, a storyline that wasnt very well developed or paced, would be epic battles that were a let down and had little screen time, and not as good and consistent art as it should have had.
It was more a JLA opening arc than a Rebirth event and expected mu more
Went well until this issue totally underwhelming.
This event was Meh. Ending is really boring and standard ,,defeat the villain with friendship" really good things will come after this. At least it wasn't insulting as CWII.
