I have to admit I didn't follow the complete story arc of the Darkseid War but the Justice League members becoming gods is easy to understand. The stories are basically the same and did bore me a little bit. Only Shazam surprised me. I'm disappointed because Green Lantern and Flash were the only ones trying to fight it. I exspected more resistance-- especially from Batman. Green Lantern's story was by far the best and made everything worth it.
Some stunning stories here. Tom King's Green Lantern tale is an absolute stand-out. And the Batman one is very cool. Oh and I really enjoyed the...Sod it, I'm giving it five stars.IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to read it in context - if you're reading the TPBs, this means after Darkseid War Book One and before Book Two.
Good artwork...but not much else. I prefer the old-school versions of DC Comics' superheroes.
This volume is more of a side trip rather than part of the main story. Without getting into spoilers (plus it's a little confusing), let's just say some things happen and Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Shazam and Lex Luthor all find themselves with the power of gods. This volume includes six stories focusing on each of the characters and their newfound abilities. (view spoiler)[ Batman now has Metron's chair and all of the knowledge it contains, which he tries to use to fight crime on a...
Collects a bunch of one shot tie-ins to Darkseid War. Each story features how each JL member deals with becoming a god. The stories are all by different creators and are hit and miss. I thought the best ones are the Lex Luthor, Flash, and Superman stories. The one featuring Shazam is just 'meh". The Batman and Green Lantern stories are pretty awful.
This was nowhere near as good as the main Darkseid War issues. This is a collection of the one shots. The issues range from ok to goodish. The main problem I had was that many of the stories is these are supposed to be side stories or fill in the gaps, apart from the Flash, possibly Green Lantern, and Shazam's stories, the rest of the stories seem to take place weeks to months after Batman seem to be in possession of his powers for this long, Superman is already back on Earth, and Lex seems to b...
The Darkseid War is over. But in the aftermath there have been some changes. Batman is now God of Knowledge; Superman is God of Power and Flash is God of Death. Each of them gets a short little mini story. I rather liked the Batman one..and the Superman one wasn't too bad either. The rest? None are truly terrible..but not that great either. So we see some of our favorite heroes as some weird gods and see how they act. I am not sure where this was going and it ended before going anywhere. Never t...
Some potentially interesting ideas but never fully executed and the side tales just pulls the quality down more. OVERALL GRADE: C to C plus.
An ok collection of stories about JL members becoming gods. Set right after the previous volume, Darkseid War: Part 1, this volume collects six one-shots, one for each member of the team (except Wonder Woman, which is, as always, a bummer). The best issue is about Green Lantern, delving into the character and his relationship with his father and with god. It is a sweet and emotional story.Batman and Superman stories are fun on their own, but ultimately do not treat the characters in a respectful...
Darkseid invaded Earth and the Justice League fought him. Then him and the old gods died and the Justice League became the new gods. Oh, wow, I’m so excited. Let me just check my pulse. Yeah it’s still going - no change.Was this book of one-shots showing the Justice League getting used to their new (temporary) roles in between Darkseid War volumes unnecessary? Completely. Batman’s the new Metron - look at him sit in the Mobius chair. Flash is the new Black Racer (minus the awesome skis - boo!),
This is a collection of one issue stories of all the superheros that became gods in this whole Darkseid War collection. It is simply telling more of their story and somewhat how they overcame the craziness they were wrapping up stories. I did enjoy some of the stories. I thought the Flash was pretty good, but I thought this was one of the weaker volumes of this New 52 run. I don't know that it really added that much. I actually did like the Shazam story and I thought that was well done. I guess
This was actually pretty good!It tells the tale of 6 JL members when they become gods like Batman and the way he stops Joe chill was a good one, and a very important tale and had great art. The one with Superman and Flash was alright, them learning to fight of the corruption of this power and the same with Hal when he becomes God of light and learns about Free will which was very different. Shazam and him channeling the power of the new Gods and meeting Zonus which should have been a big deal bu...
This is the companion of Darkseid War Storyline and when the mightiest of DC's Superheros become God what would they do?These "What if?" storylines are always interesting since we get to see our favorite Superheroes in a different dimension altogether.My least favorite was Batman's and Superman's. They are the prime characters of DC but the Author's decided to ruin it for us what a waste?I really loved Lex Luthor's arc which was pretty interesting and I'm looking forward to what he will do in th...
This is a companion to the Darkseid War, with several special one-shot issues showing what's happening to our favorite DC superheroes now that they've gained the power of gods. As is always the case for these sorts of books, some of the issues are better than others.My least favorite was Superman's story. Not that it was horribly written or anything, but I'm just not a fan of evil Superman. I mean, yeah, it's fun sometimes, but this time it for some reason this story felt like a repeat of about
A fine volume between Justice League 7 and 8. All good stories with the surprise being a strong Green Lantern by Tom King. Strong art throughout.
I realize that this book was trying to be a build up to another great DC event, but that event and this book were both a bit of a let down.
5 starsNice to see how the Justice League are adjusting to their new powers. Hope to see more stories about them with powers. Can't wait to read more Justice League books!!!!
I’m gonna give this collection a 3.5 as a whole. It was entertaining enough, and some stories were really great, but it didn’t bowl me over and I mostly found myself trying to power (nyuk nyuk) through it to get back to the main storyline. Individual issue reviews below, because of course I did.And sorry if these are walls of text. I wrote most of them on my phone and I don’t care enough to go back and edit them. Hah! Not that anyone’s reading this except me, so...sorry future me! PS You’re stil...
Janky as hell but there are some good pieces in here. So yeah, now we get into the tie ins but they aren't tie ins, they are one shots (same thing). With what happens at the end of JL #44 this is the fallout. World: The art is fine, different artist for each title so the art is not consistent, but it focuses on different characters so that's not a problem. I especially loved the Manapul issue as anything illustrated by him is great. The world building here is strong, it is the best thing about t...
Hardly worth talking about. I didn't read the Darkseid War event that preceded this, and I don't care to. I guess I checked this out because Tom King was listed as one of the writers. Each of the 6 issues is by a different creative team, on a different title focusing on that particular Leaguer either becoming a god or dealing with the possibility of becoming a god. The Green Lantern issue was the standout best, so no surprise at the end when I saw that was the one penned by King. The Shazam and
