The premise is good, the art is great, but the story goes nowhere interesting.

After a solid part one, this one slows to a crawl and then takes a bit misstep with Supes and Lori. For all that Waid says he knows Supes, he somehow thinks it's possible for the most upright and uptight hero of all to do anything with a married woman. It just doesn't fit.

Decompressed storytelling and an editorial mandate to spend time with a likeable but extraneous character leave this one a bit flat. Winding down to the end, and it feels like the series will end up being a waste of Weisman's skill.

Excellent first issue, so much better than the Tamaki miniseries. Confident Zatanna is best Zatanna. Even if the fishnets and heels are hopeless outdated and sexist.

So this Shayera is a different Shayera than the one involved with Carter Hall, right?

Very strong first issue, great art.

Beautiful start to finish.

Waid was born to write Alfred.

Hal's part of the comic is stellar. Kyle's part is just okay.

So much fun.

But how is Vandal Savage the commissioner? Zdarsky!!

Early contender for comic of the year.

Note to Mark Waid: THIS is how you write a crowded team book.

Huge leap from issue one.

Great art does not make up for how overcrowded and scattershot this feels. Too many characters, too many plots, and not enough focus. Plus Waid seems to have not actually read Ram V's Swamp Thing series since he is getting Levi Kamel wrong and I don't think he's doing better with Renee, either.

Given how utterly absurd the premise is, this is really well written. Great art.

A bit overcrowded - more guest stars than A Mad Mad Mad World - but a lot of fun. The Elementary saga is really quite well done, even if it takes screen time from our heroes.

The runs just been fine the whole time so far. I didn’t love how quickly Elementary is catching on, so I liked the fumble at the end.

Why the handlebar mustache though?

This series is just more of a labor of love for Waid than anything set in the present DCU.

Great art, solid characterization, fun story, and just a hint of the meta-commentary that makes Ewing a keeper. Plus you can really hear Malcolm McDowell playing the Mad Mod all over again, ducky.

An interesting comic, but why are we getting Connor Kent here instead of a better division of GLs between the two books?

Strong second part, especially the Scott/Barda/Olivia scenes.

A work of deep beauty that would live with The Inner Light and The Visitor if it were live action.

The ending is kind of muddled, but I like the resolution for Billy and Freddy.

So far, there is little here to distinguish this from Waid's other work with Mora, and way too many cast members. Maybe the stuff with J'Onn is a good starting point for something more.

Solid storytelling though I have no idea where we are going with Elementary.

Painfully twee story that feels like Greg was in the mood to revisit the Faerie Court from Gargoyles but decided not to actually do it in his Gargoyles comics. The art is good, the stuff with the Electros is good, the fairies are annoying.

A good ending for a series that should have lasted a lot longer. I hope someone can do justice to Jaime going forward as I think he might get swallowed in the larger and noisier JLU books.

Not worth six bucks. But still very sweet and charming with some amazing art.

Great art and great character moments for all, but the story is scattered and the ending both rushed and muddled.

Beautiful, heartfelt issue that truly gets to the core of Trek and its characters. If only the art team didn't keep changing.
