I don't really have much to add to this particular volume's review other than a re-iteration of some previous thoughts. Ultimately, the series as whole (this being the final volume) did not live up to the promise and potential of the first volume for me.
It was a series set to explore villainy and heroism by asking some really interesting questions and presenting some challenging situations. I feel like we did not really explore the most unique aspect of this story nearly enough as the series be...more

This review is for the entire Justice Maxi-Series
As it went along I became aware that justice was nothing short of a big, stinky turd, which may be a bit crass, but seems the only phrase befitting it. What promised to be a superhero epic that examined true heroism and villainy continually became more and more predictable and disappointing. The writing was often times cheesy and/or muddy, leaving me scratching my head as to what was going on or laughing at the utter stupidity of what I did unders...more

I've no interest in writing blurbs about each of the three books in the series, so this'll have to do for the bunch.
Not bad. The art (which people tend to rave about) was pretty, although I noticed that some characters looked exactly the same, except for the colour of their costumes (Superman and Captain Marvel come to mind). Of course, maybe that's intentional, but when you're "shooting" someone from the face up, it doesn't help the reader very much.

not a DC fan but this series was pretty good. all the villians wake up one day from a dream where the super-heroes aren't able to save the world---everyone dies. the villians, with brainiac and lex luthor in charge i guess, all ban together to create a new world(s)and new sings of hope--- by supposidly curing the sick, eliminating genetic imperfections, removing all 'crime', creating these utopian cities, etc... i don't know how to describe this i guess. the bad guys make themselves look like go...more
The battle concludes in this third and final volume of the mini-series. The villains have succeed in taking over the world. Their plan to relocated humanity to spheres is well underway. Meanwhile, the Justice League calls in some allies to help them defeat the rogue's gallery. And the solution found to combat Brainiac's nanobots is unique. Meanwhile, they have to figure out how to free the heroes' loved ones who are not only being held hostage, but have somehow been turned against the Justice Le...more
This review is for all three.
The premise was good and the core concept is consistent with the current trend for anti-heroes. I think the trilogy failed to completely deliver on the promise though and I found the classic Marvel ending anticlimactic. I am rateing the series high because the story is more sophisticated than a lot of the original JLA were, the artwork is great and at times even stunning and it made me want to go back a re-visit some of the original stories.

The art in the three Justice volumes by Alex Ross is better than any I have ever seen in a comic. Each page is practically a masterpiece. The story isn't the best I've ever read, but it keeps the reader turning the page. Besides this comic is more about the visuals anyway.
Volume 3 of Justice ended the series. I felt that things wrapped up too quickly, too nicely, for anything substantial to have happened. Volume 1 offered so much potential, but the conclusion was less than satisfactory and very predictable.
The art, still, is amazing.

Pretty good, but not as compelling an ending as I was hoping. The guide in the back of the book is good for people who do not know all of the justice league characters. Wlll probably pick another book off the best graphic novel list for my next.
Choppy. Rushed. Confusing. Disappointing. Artwork by Braithwaite and Ross save this from one star. There are much better epic superhero storylines. Meh.
This story is fun and clever and of course Ross's art is superb. This is a good example of what makes DC superheroes good.
Well... It looks great. But the ending was choppy, rushed, convoluted, and forced by necessity to push a reset button on the whole thing to the point where it doesn't even matter if this is in continuity or not. Disappointing, but pretty.
This could have been so much better if the plot wasn't so convoluted. Still, Ross' art is pretty.
Well at least it is over. Marginal improvement int he final installment. The less said the better.
A fine ending to an interesting story line. I'd recommend this book series.

A mess of a story that is really hard to follow. But, man, is it pretty.
Weakest of the series, but still pretty good.
My love for Aquaman slightly increased tbh.
So much better than the earlier volumes!
Epic! The Justice League up against their respective archenemies. Also, the art is amazing.
A nice romp through the DC universe.
Hmmm. Interesting ending.
Things got a little too muddled toward the end. Still, a great conclusion to a powerful story.

Alex Ross' art is so stately and beautiful, that while his stories can leave you a little cold, you're willing to forgive him. I guess it's fitting then, that Justice wraps up its story by wrapping up its heroes in metal suits. I enjoyed some of the switcheroos he pulled at the end, but with such a huge cast of characters, it just kind of turns into a mish-mash. The good guys fight the bad guys and I just don't care all that much.

It's kind of clever the way the plan came together at the end, although I feel like this was more a series of cool moments than a unified story. I am going to have to single out Captain Marvel crushing Kryptonite in his fist so Superman doesn't have to be afraid of it ever again. That isn't going to work. It can still hurt him even if it's in little bitty pieces and now it's harder to clean up. Wisdom of Solomon my ass.
Absolutely amazing art... great story-telling! There are a few gaps in the narrative, and I have trouble tracking the interlocking sub-plots, especially as the purpose for some of the scenes are set-up for later twists, schemes and reveals. But that was also part of the fun -- how WILL our HEROES survive?
This was my least favorite of the series, but it was still great. I wish that the new Justice League movie would be based off this story! And I really loved Wonder Woman's story in this! Great!

Fans of good ol' bigger than life superhero stories
This was a great conclusion to a pretty top notch story with some great art by Ross. IT had some great winks to geekdom such as a load of super friends references.
just a lot of fun.
just a lot of fun.
The conclusion of the Justice miniseries. Even though, I don't particularly like the ending, at least I can still feast my eyes on the wonderfully painted works of Alex Ross.
