This volume is where things finally clicked for me and started to make sense in this whole convoluted story Snyder has written since Dark Metal. The annual in particular kind of summed things up with what has happened so far. I like what Snyder is doing with Starman (Will Payton), a hero DC killed off in the early 90s for being lame. Snyder also writes a really good Lex Luthor and makes him far more interesting by the end of this. I especially enjoyed the issue with Luthor and Martian Manhunter....

The Justice League are not the stars of their own book. They keep making mistakes as Perpetual grows near. This title is all about Lex Luthor and the legion of doom. Love it!

A good return to form after the awful Drowned Earth crossover that had dragged everything to a screeching halt.The eponymous "Hawkworld" story is actually the least of the volume. Oh, it's good to see DC hammer out the multiple-Hawkgirl problem, and the whole Thangar Prime story has interesting elements too, but everything is (again) too decompressed and ultimately too long.More interesting are all the surrounding stories, going toward the big plot elements of Snyder's run in bite-sized bits. We...

While Drowned Earth takes the Justice League back home, Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl head to Thanagar to try and solve some of the lingering problems of the Totality - but the answers they find turn everything upside down.We open with a Legion of Doom one-shot that manages to shuffle The Joker out of the Legion, but he doesn't leave without making his mark. He was always a weird fit, but James Tynion IV gives him a fitting farewell, although the art from Guillem March can be a little over the

God help me, I quite enjoyed this, whether despite or because of the feeling you get that there’s at least two issues missing between every one that actually got published. Lots of it is Lex Luthor and other villains being catty to one another, something DC event books always enjoy. There’s also a Thanagar story which suffers from an “everything you know is wrong” reveal where (as is sometimes the case) the wrong stuff is more interesting than the truth. And a Martian Manhunter spotlight which m...

This Volume was all over the place... and instead of being called Justice League Volume 3, it should almost be called Lex Luthor Vol 1. Lex is ALL OVER this book!Basic summaries:- First issue is a crazy battle between Lex and the Joker, where Joker has given all of the Legion of Doom his special gas to make them smiley and compliant. Showing that Lex will never be able to get on up on him (partially due to the deal Lex made with The Batman Who Laughs), Joker takes a few with him and leaves the L...

Collects Justice League #13-18 and Justice League Annual #1There were some aspects of the 3-issue "Hawkworld" story that dragged in this collection, but overall, readers received a lot of information about Lex Luthor's ultimate plan, and the history of the DC Omniverse. Final Rating = 4.5 stars

2021 Re-read: Hawkworld is vastly improved when read immediately after the prior volumes. So many of its Big Deal Things tie into Totality and No Justice. When you have a fuller understanding of what Scott Snyder's trying to do with the Source Wall and Perpetua, not to mention tying Luthor and Martian's backstories together, Hawkworld seems like an intense, well-crafted bit of upping the ante. I'd call it a four-star read now, though I'll leave the old rating and review since, honestly, most of

I like the heart of this, but think there's way too many characters involved for me to keep up. There's so much going on that issues will pass before something is addressed again, which makes the story seem way disconnected. I really wish this was minimized a little bit since there's like five things going on at any time - and if it was just one done well, I would be happy.

This was a slog to get through, and not always an enjoyable one. There's some cool stuff buried in here, but for large parts I was just bored. I do not regret dropping this in singles.

I wonder, does Bruce ever feel bad about breaking the Source Wall? If he’d sat down and shut up when everyone told him to, none of this, from Metal forward, would have happened.

3.5 stars. I'd be lying if I said I was 100% following this, but I'd also be lying if I said that I wasn't having a pretty good time reading it.

Man oh man....I want to love this but...Listen. Justice League isn't that easy to do. I've read about 6 runs now and they range from pretty good to downright terrible. Snyder's run isn't the worst or anything but it's a shame that a guy who can create some of my favorite comics (Black Mirror, New52 Batman, American Vampire) is writing this. I just don't get the change in style. This is basically another volume in which most of the league is split up and having their own stories told. This takes

This was so good!It tellls the tale of how Lex recruited Joker into LOD and their war and then the history of Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter as they go to Thanagar prime and the terrible and hard accepting secrets of the planets and its ruler Shayera, Hawkgirl's past self and its so well done. And finally as they attempt to seal the breach in source wall and the disaster that follows and the big villain's rebirth and the consequences that follow and whatever past J'onn and Lex have and whatever

Basic Plot: The Justice League attempt to save the Source Wall and Luthor seeks to destroy it and wake Perpetua.The art here is epic and fantastic. The characters and their motivations drive everything, which beings a lot of pathos to the story, even for the villains. The plot itself continues to build and twist, and is nowhere near its conclusion yet. I love the fact that the writers and artists are being given space to actually build a meaningful story and not just churning out short, unconnec...

Wtf was this

It's not horrible but it's not as fresh as it wants to be. The first chapter with the Joker was the standout for me.

I just ... I just can't come to terms with the fact that Scott Snyder is writing these books , because really it's one disappointing book after another . And sure it's still much better Justice league book than the New 52 or the Rebirth JL books but that doesn't mean these are the kind of good books you expect from someone like Scott Snyder . The Good Part - Well the book started off really good with the Joker vs Legion of doom story , I have complained about the lame handling of Joker by Snyder...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.After a hectic and messy tie-in story centered around Aquaman, the ongoing Justice League series helmed by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV continues its exploration into the cosmic universes to uncover the truth behind their reality. At the heart of this latest story arc is a mystery that invites some heroes to dig deeper into the secrets of their world, whether it will appease or break them. From godly entities to ill-intentioned supervillains...

Snyder has done a decent job of building up the suspense before finally revealing what's been lurking behind the Source Wall. He made sure it felt immense, even larger than the multiverse, but the problem is he does it through so much verbal exposition, either through captions or dialogue. The density of his words is very similar to Claremont writing X-Men back in the 80's. In the last few decades, comics have become very short on words (Marvel completely removing captions for awhile) so anytime...
