Waid and Mora collaborate again to bring us a fast paced Justice League revival that feels extremely grand scale with its huge ensemble cast and world ending threats. There's too much going on to really focus on the characters and their dynamics. However, for those who enjoy a simple big bad vs. fan favourite faces, this does the job. Overall, it looks great and provides some decent entertainment for a 'set-up' volume.

The Justice League got a lot bigger! Really good start to this series.

When it was first announced DC Comics was bringing back their flagship superhero team with Justice League Unlimited, I was immediately reminded of the awesome Bruce Timm-produced animated series of the same name during the mid-2000s. After two seasons of the Justice League cartoon, which solely focused on a team of seven, Unlimited would shift the format by expanding the team with a wide array of superheroes from the DC Universe, which allowed for many kinds of adventures that could focus on one singular hero or a particular group.
Based on this comic that continues the collaboration of the World’s Finest team Mark Waid and Dan Mora, Justice League Unlimited doesn’t quite capture the magic of that cartoon, despite the attempt. Following the events of Absolute Power and the DC All In Special, the holy trinity of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman must unite like never before and expand the Justice League to encompass every hero that will reside at their new Watchtower headquarters. With the new League being split off into various groups to resolve any conflict or disaster from around the world, the heroes must come together to fight a new organisation known as Inferno.
Over the course of five issues, Waid is juggling so many characters that it ends up being the main problem of this series. As much as I can appreciate Waid for including the most obscure characters like Doctor Occult teaming up with popular ones like Martian Manhunter, the series or at least this storyline could have benefited more by just focusing on a handful of heroes so that we can get a team dynamic. There is even a whole subplot about the two Atoms Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi crafting the world’s first superpower reallocation and backup system as a way of everyone getting their powers back after the events of Absolute Power, though it want to see more of this, go read Justice League: The Atom Project.
Waid’s strength as a writer here is when he focuses on the little moments, such as the introduction of Harold Levey/Air Wave who serves as a gateway character as he is inducted into the League and given a tour around the Watchtower by the Flash. Considering that Martian Manhunter has always felt like an outsider, even among his Super Friends, Waid takes the character in an interesting direction where he is not quite as powerful as he was before. While you do get the heavy hitters like Superman and Batman, more focus on the obscure players would have given this book a more unique perspective.
With the huge number of characters sprinkled throughout, it feels like an excuse for Dan Mora to go unhinged with his art. Considering his busy schedule where he draws more than one issue monthly, it is shocking that Mora brings so much detail to his work where almost every page displays a particular superpower, while his panel layouts serve as crazy transition points for when we are in a new setting, whether it is space or another dimension.
While there is enough to like from the few intimate moments to the eye-popping art, Justice League Unlimited is prioritising the spectacle as well as the major story beats that is not only setting up subsequent issues, but what is happening in the wider DC universe as part of the DC All In initiative.

A great start to the Justice League Unlimited series. This book contains the first five issues of the series.
Love the artwork, on that note I love where the interior artwork is as good or better than the cover artwork. In the story, I especially liked how they managed to give so many characters a chance to shine considering the size of the cast.
The Justice League is back. Bigger and better than ever right? Unfortunately, they have some problems heroes who have had their powers swapped or lost. Also with everyone being a member, it opens the door for infiltration.
For me, there are any number of ways individual series can be launched. They are already looking at the first crossover. I was worried the characters might get lost in the shuffle however I think they managed to give the character the spotlight perfectly. The book finishes with a huge variant cover gallery.

Justice League Unlimited marks the return of the Justice League after a two-year hiatus, and it's quite fun! But it definitely could be more.
Essentially, nearly every single person in the DC Universe is now working under the "Justice League" to solve problems, which makes the Watchtower a very, very busy place. This also helps give a lot of smaller characters time to shine, or even medium-sized ones like Swamp Thing. There's excellent art and fun interactions, but the all-too-typical return of the "Legion of Doom" made me groan so loud. Give us something fresh and new for the League already!
A 3 out of 5.

A good start to this series! 3.4 🌟

I know nothing about DC superhero teams, so I'm approaching this title with a completely open mind, simply because DC is riding high in terms of quality and innovation at the moment.
What can I say? It seems pretty classic to me—big threat, Machiavellian plot, team spirit, all that stuff—but it has the merit of being well constructed and very well illustrated by Dan Mora (with colours by Tamra Bonvillain).
Waid's talent is well established: a quick and well-organised introduction, quick reminders of the other series in the new line, good pacing. The great architect is holding the fort.
Probably not the best series of the year, but an enjoyable read.

This comic is absolutely incredible!! I haven't read any previous ones for this series, but by itself, it tells you everything you need to know.
Seeing the whole League together again is so emotional. The writers knew what they were doing, giving them all times to shine in personality and power. The incidents leading up to this series are still affecting everyone, which is such awesome worldbuilding.
This felt like visiting old friends. Seeing their care and love for each other, an even more well organized teamwork, and seeing so many generations of heroes work together. And some redeemed villains?? I would've never guessed!!
So well written, such a perfect art style. These writers and artists really understand the DCU and what the fans love about its characters. Loved seeing some less frequent league members get some well-deserved time front and center.
Ps. I grew up with the 2000s Justice league and Justice League Unlimited timmverse series, and this is the closest I've found to that level of care for eachother as a family and team in the comics

The colours on this book are making it difficult to read.
Undermining the writing and art with a murky palate and muddy panels. In addition to it just looking absolutely awful it’s impossible to see what is going on in some pages and difficult to understand which characters we are suppose to be looking at - not what you need on a team book.
The whole thing is such a distraction and manages to make Mora’s art look bad, which is impressive given the calibre of the artist - he’s doing 2 monthly books just now and his art on Superman looks great. Because he’s been given a competent colourist.
Someone at DC editorial must see this, this is basic stuff to get right.
Other than that the story so far lacks direction and focus, not Waid’s best work but I trust him to settle into a rhythm.
Pointless if they don’t sort out the problem with the colours.

The art and colours are outstanding. They're the reason to buy this book.
The story is fine, I do enjoy the bigger cast so lots of characters get a moment. Mary Marcel and Diana were great in issue 2. DR occult had some time to shine. There still was a lot of Batman, that can be toned down.
The reveal of who are Inferno was very disappointing. Mr Terrific, or Red Tornado, one issue earlier call out it can't be these characters for specific reasons ; turns out it is those characters after all.
I understand they wabt to promote Question and Atoms' books, but felt a little unnatural to the way the dialogue forctgen is shoehorned in to refer to their own books. The cameos were fine. Maybe a few too many.

I used to be a teacher and this is like handling a class of 35 students. You can’t possibly cover all you can how you’d like. A team book where the team is absolutely unlimited. It goes as you’d expect, change is constant, the POV is unstable and there’s no focus with such a wide field of vision. I like Waid’s writing and he’s been hitting it out of the park on other books this year. Just not this one.
April 26, 2025
Justice League and Avenger books are all pretty much the same. Lots of heroes, world-ending threats, and usually an evil team that is the antithesis of the good team. It's an old formula, but one that's hard to make totally boring.
May 9, 2025
This is all set-up for the next storyline which you'll want to read because hello Legion of Doom. we get some fun combos of heroes in the same panel but no one really works together and mostly no one uses their powers. waid, you're better than this.
April 17, 2025
Love the beginning, not so much when the legion shows up but it’s fun
April 27, 2025
Fine overall but nothing more, and perhaps it's saved somewhat by the fact that I read the first two issues of "Hush 2" before this and that book is, uh, a real easy act to follow.

WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUE
I choose to start buying this comic book title basically since it was drawn by Dan Mora, which is a Costarrican artist (I am from Costa Rica too, so I’m quite proud that he’s one of the current top artists in the comic book industry), but also that I am fan of the Justice League and from time to time I like to buy some title of the Justice League for a while.
Boy, I am truly glad that I decided to buy this one!
The story began great, having Superman deciding to expand the Justice League, now it’s a team of seven ore ven twelve members, but…
…MORE THAN FIFTY MEMBERS!!! AND HAVING EVEN MORE STANDING BY IF NEEDED!!!
This reminded me the animated series of the same name, Justice League Unlimited where precisely, after being a team of seven members, they expanded to become an impressive group of more than fifty members where multiple teams were assigned to deal with different missions, threats and emergencies. Here is the same idea.
In this first volume, they are dealing with a mysterious group calling itself “Inferno” and they’re provoking several emergencies around the globe, but the Justice League suspects that this vilain group isn’t that mysterious but actually something familiar from the past.
The real gift that I became crazy about this first volume was that since it’s drawn by Dan Mora, and he’s an artist quite respected in the media, he’s able to collaborate with the writers and setting some missions in Costa Rica, and here wasn’t the exception and then you have an impressive team made of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Star Saphire, Blue Beetle, Doctor Occult, Black Lightning and Mary Marvel dealing with an emergency in Monteverde, Costa Rica! Oh, yeah!
I went nuts when I read that the Justice League and quite a poweful deployed team (with big names in the roster) was in Costa Rica, even better in a place that I've been there and I know that it looks like Dan Mora draw it (in other books like World's Finest he already had used place of Costa Rica for scenes like Superman stopping a volcanic eruption in Arenal). It was amusing that Superman decided not taking chances and select such heavy-hitters' team since Batman arrived early along with Blue Beetle, and he asked for back-up...
...and since Batman never asked for back-up, Superman opted to take a big team to deal with the emergency at Costa Rica.
After that, the Justice League is sending different teams to diverse threats provoked by this shadow group “Inferno”, meanwhile they’re investigating the real identity of the insidious group...
...but that's not all...
...since the Justice League is unaware that they have a traitor in the midst!

This was a fun read, I won't say its the best but the team has been missing for a while in the main continuity so I like that they have finally returned and after the events of Absolute power you see they have added everyone on the roster and its wild and you see them go on different missions and selecting people that do the best job!
Its fun seeing that but then again it doesn't really have that big hooked moment that will make you excited about the larger story being told in the series like you have the mystery of he villainous group INFERNO and that had real potential but when they revealed who it is.. its generic and I am like "okay same story again".
But I really like how they plan their attack like going after Iridium and hitting the financial sector or destroying the green which will create a food shortage and obviously have climate change effects and those 2 issues featuring the fate of the green and well having Swamp thing and Tefe was like some of the best ones here and the art was freaking spectacular!
The rest of the issues were fine and some character focus was there like on Air wave but man he quickly turns on the team maybe it should have been done after 5 more issues but oh well lets see how the crossover goes.. I was expecting big things from this book and aside from Mora's art there isn't that exciting story that will keep you hooked in the long run. Its waid so I will check it out definitely!
But its a fun quick read seeing the entire team together with the best DC artist atm in Mora drawing it and maybe it will become super good in the future issues lets see but definitely read it! You will have a good time reading it for sure.

After not having a Justice League for a while, we've now got the biggest Justice League in the world! Every hero gets roped in, and they're all going to be needed when a new terrorist organisation called Inferno sets their sights on destroying everything from the Amazon Rainforest to poor Airwave's faith in humanity.
There's a big sense of scope in this book, thanks to the wide-ranging threats the team faces and the fact that there are so many characters coming and going. There's not a lot of major character development for people involved (except the aforementioned Airwave, for reasons that'll be obvious when you read it) because there's just no damn time in between all the action beats, but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment as much as you'd think. And of course, Dan Mora's on pencils so the book looks amazing no matter how many characters are in each panel. I don't know how he does it, honestly.
Welcome back Justice League, hope you're here to stay.

It's an interesting take on the Justice League this go-around. Every hero out there is basically a member and called in when your services are needed. There's a group called Inferno operating behind the scenes to cause problems around the world. they are revealed in issue #5 and it's exactly who you would expect. Dan Mora's art is it's typical brilliance.
I know all the solicits for this show the first 6 issues but it'll surely only be 5 when this comes out. Issue #6 is part of a 6 part crossover with World's Finest.

Bigger is better, this time around?
Teaming up to battle a freaked out Darkseid has shown the new Justice League that they can do a lot of good together. Only problem is that a team THIS big is a little unwieldy. We've got book after book giving us an idea of how this form of a Justice League can work. Now, after all that, we've got a bitchin' new Watchtower that pretty much is a lighthouse to keep an eye of for Darkseid coming back.
..(you know he's going to come back, right? the signs are EVERYWHERE!)
I know all the solicits for this show the first 6 issues but it'll surely only be 5 when this comes out. Issue #6 is part of a 6 part crossover with World's Finest. You find out what 'Inferno' is and who is a part of that group. (things might get a little timey-wimey at times)
=====
Bonus: Listen all, y'all...it's a SABOTAGE! (somebody had to say it)
Bonus Bonus: a JL that is big (but broken with power swaps/removals) is surprisingly weak AF

Confusing more than anything. It refers back to so many other comics and it's never entirely clear who the villain ("Inferno") is or what's actually going on.
I did like seeing so many different members of the JLU about, but there wasn't a ton of plot, just a lot of action and, as counterintuitive as this sounds coming from a comic book fan, I prefer plot to action.
I don't know if I'll continue the series, but it had great art by Dan Mora.

I'm all in (get it?) in the idea of a more expansive Justice League membership, but this did feel a bit too organized too fast. I love seeing all these characters together, but I know they're all way too busy to be hanging around the watchtower awaiting orders. Great art as always! Mora and Moore rock.

3.5 — An artfully and colourfully beautiful and very ambitious JL story that really shines when it focuses on the characters, but struggles because of its overcrowded cast, weak villains, and an ending that doesn’t satisfy.

Incredible art by Mora. Might be too many characters in this one, but it's fun to see a robust league back in action.

Modern entry point for Justice League but a bit lacking in terms of storytelling. Great art meh plot.
4/5

Honestly this might just be my FAVOURITE use of the "Justice League Ulimited" concept
