Snyder force feeds us info dump after info dump for the first couple of issues as he hashes out his convoluted omniverse story. That being said, it is still interesting. The book feels like a big event book with lots of ramifications coming. He still needs to edit his narration but overall I'm starting to dig it. Jarro needs his own issue.

[Artemy · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is absolutely torturous, just like the rest of the series has been up to this point. Overly expository, dry as bone, slow, tedious, entirely devoid of charm or fun or any sense of joy I’ve come to expect from good superhero comics. How this awful series is making so many top of the year/decade lists, I’ll never understand. Snyder and Tynion have interesting ideas for sure, but their execution is piss poor, their character work is horrid, the dialogue and narration is atrocious — in short, this entire Justice League run is some of the worst writing I’ve seen from the both of them, and some of the worst comics I’ve ever read in general. Comics shouldn’t be this painful to read.

A trip to the Sixth Dimension and a faceoff with Apex Lex puts the Justice League on the back-foot as the Justice/Doom War looms ever closer.

Snyder's plan is finally coming to fruition; the Sixth Dimension story is a love letter to Superman and Batman while also being an insane story on just about every level, with drop-dead gorgeous Jorge Jimenez artwork throughout. I love me some Jarro, as well. Little guy's so cute.

Then there's the Apex Lex story, which helps set the stage for the Justice/Doom War, although I feel like having the Year Of The Villain one-shot collected here might have been helpful as well, for context. Javi Fernandez draws most of this, and I'm glad he's getting a bigger spotlight since he's great.

Justice League's barrelling along and it's either get on board or get out of the way.

This is probably the best arc yet of Snyders Justice League. It all starts falling into place and it’s less of a slog to read than the previous volume

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.

Ever since writer Scott Snyder introduced the DC Universe to the Dark Multiverse, the status quo was instantly obliterated. From the crack in the Source Wall to the introduction of mythological Gods responsible for the creation of worlds, he was on a mission and his restlessness to infuse the DC Universe with more theology unveiling the origin of its very existence has done nothing more than enabling him in his boundless creativity and unparalleled storytelling. It is once he took upon himself the challenge to write the ongoing Justice League series and brought these heroes to uncharted regions of the universe that the beast of creativity was unleashed. He turned these heroes into a conflicted yet resolute team who will give their lives to save the world from its end. Collecting issues #19-28, writer Scott Snyder builds brand-new lore only to destroy it in a beautifully chaotic cosmic adventure.

What is Justice League: The Sixth Dimension about? The Legion of Doom led by Lex Luthor inches closer to their objective of liberating the Mother of the Universe known as Perpetua. With control over five of the seven dark energies, their hope to control the one entity that could destroy the Justice League grows every second. With nowhere to turn, the heroes of Earth must solicit the aid of a fifth-dimensional imp that has often been the king of mischief their entire lives. While their own hope to stop the final war from taking place seems slim, their odds fall close to null when a trap is set for Superman and the heroes, through a door to the Sixth Dimension, are sent to a future version of Earth where a utopia has been created and heroes have won but all they need to do now is accept this gift. But some gifts come with strings attached and the ones on this one might be too unethical for the Earth's greatest heroes.

This is why I've come to enjoy writer Scott Snyder over the past years. He channels his own inner Grant Morrison and lets loose all of the craziest of his ideas in an oddly satisfying way as he attempts to unveil the never-before-seen mythology behind the fabric of the omniverse. While the story in itself does unveil the intricacies of the mysteriously insane Sixth Dimension, a control room of the Multiverse where cosmic beings create the fates of various worlds, it also explores the fire that burns within the Justice League in their desire to fight evil and save humanity. Take Superman's character, for example. Writer Scott Snyder does an enviously incredible job in building the predicament in which he dwells as he's put through the wringer. Not only does he find himself in a trap that strips him from the iota of hope that he was trying to hold onto, but his flashback sequences with his son also turn his sub-plot throughout this story-arc truly memorable and powerful. This isn't just about heroes and villains anymore. This is about fighting against faith, destiny, and everything in between in hopes to see another day.

What makes this volume stand out from previous installments is artist Jorge Jimenez. His artistic vision is beyond this world. Every single panel. Every single detail. He's a master of his craft and he knows it. The drawings simply fly off of the pages and smack you around with raw emotions and godly designs. The story also has an incredibly psychedelic touch to it (hence the Grant Morrison reference earlier) and he is the perfect artist to execute the task at hand. There isn't an instance where the strange and eccentric elements straight from writer Scott Snyder's mind weren't done right. The multicoloured narrative filled with stranger things than Lovecraft could ever conjure really added to the story. It even gets more immersive when the narrative is infused with unexpected meta elements. This simply felt like an all-around coherent tale that had a common thread to tie every issue together. Sometimes a bit too crazy, but that's okay. The amount of fun I had was simply undeniable.

Justice League: The Sixth Dimension is a fabulously psychedelic yet poignantly intimate trip where heroes and villains are shaken to the core and tested beyond measure.

THIS WAS AMAZING!

Its one of the most ambitious Justice League/DC stories..and its epic.

It starts off with the league betting on Superman to find hope in some sixth dimension when Mxy attacks but when it looks like hope is lost, a white costumed Superman emerges and we see a paradise of DCU and all seems good until it isn't and enter the WORLD FORGER and the revelations he has and the plans he tells the league including the ascension of the Batman as the Sun Knight and then the JL teaming up with LOD which includes Darkseid to fight this fake utopia and its epic and the betrayal and the coming of SUPERMAN and its so good and well done, one of the best moments in the story with him and its one of the best Superman moments period.

Its one of those stories where the build up takes time but when the moments come they hit hard and its so well done and they explore Superman as the hope he is and finally the big twist with Lex and Martian Manhunter and the rising of Apex Predator and we get history lessons as to DC creation and Perpetua's and the recruitment drive thats happening around the DCU!

Its an epic, bold and ambitious story that takes a lot of swings and delivers on most levels and is exciting to read and the art by Jorge is amazing like some of the best and its a joy to read and so so worth it! A must recommend! <3

Overly convoluted. Has moments where its amazing but then just has way to much use of dialgoue or should I say over use

[Will Robinson Jr. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have been collecting Scott Snyder's whole run on Justice League. His run has been really good.
There are two things that I feel that bogs it down. Newbies can not just into this book at any point and the current state of the DC universe is a bit of mess. First let me point out the good points in this book. The artwork by Jorge Jimenez & Francis Manapul is superb. The mentioned artist are two of the best in the biz. This book just looks and feels fantastic. Snyder writes a really great Superman arc in this book. This book is just jammed pack with ideas that will blow any superhero comic book fans minds. There are things that Snyder is bringing back into DC lore that get you excited. This volume particularly feels like it could be a giant DC comics event. The problems I had with this book stem from the problems with DC comics continuity. For those who have been following the DC books since DC Universe: Rebirth #1, we were told that Dr. Manhattan may have altered the DC universe continuity but if you are reading Justice League it feels like this is not the case. This makes me sad because I am still hoping Snyder's run will run into everything Geoff Johns's is building in Doomsday Clock. I recommend fans check out Doomsday Clock Part 1 and you will not be disappointed. Finally I think this arc was one of the best in the series thus far. I am really looking forward to seeing were this series is going.

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Welp, first few issues I was on board, loved the direction, then it went downhill fast.

Snyder continues his long winded exposition heavy take on justice league that really doesn't add much. The first story of them heading to the 6th Dimension and such is actually fun and to see Batman's dreams come true, yet knowing what he must do is wonderful. Not to mention Star and Superman shine so bright here, and even Flash is funny a lot of the time.

But then the last few issues are a boring slog to get through with SO much exposition and not leading anywhere. I really hope Snyder when he drops most DC titles takes a break and comes back strong because he is a TOP tier writer, but his current output is okay at best.

[Dakota Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would not have expected, having once given a one-star review to Justice League Vol 1: The Totality, that by the fourth volume in Scott Snyder's Justice League mega-saga, I would find myself in four-star territory. The Sixth Dimension tones down the "muchness" and brings in a heaping helping of explanation - crucially without getting bogged down in narrative nonsense (like The Totality). And the art is superb throughout, at least in large part because just two artists completed the majority of the work, unlike the hundreds who worked on Graveyard of Gods.

The Sixth Dimension could easily be split into two volumes. In the first half, the Justice League uses Mr. Mxyptlk to venture into the sixth dimension (fourth being time, fifth being imagination) hoping to find the solution to defeating Perpetua. Instead, they find a perfect future world where the Justice/Doom War has been neatly resolved by the World Forger. Of course, something is off and things go awry and there's a battle and a smart resolution. The story successfully explains the function of the multiverse, why it's going so wrong, and what the Justice League are really up against (omniversal judgement!). If only Snyder could have gotten all this explanation out of the way earlier on, I might have been a quicker convert.

The second half picks up from the Year of the Villain event (which I haven't read sigh), with Luthor triumphant and the Earth under his thumb. So the Justice League goes on another jaunt in hopes of finding another solution. Fortunately, the tale isn't overly complex, is pretty exciting, and features the dynamic relationship between Luthor and Martian Manhunter. Having the big villain and the big hero need each other, kinda, adds a welcome dose of interpersonal complexity to what is, generally, a pretty impersonal affair.

I think that's still my one big issue with Snyder's Justice League series: it's so impersonal. There are almost no ground-level settings, so we rarely get a feel for what the common man is experiencing amidst all these huge, multiverse-changing events. We rarely get a feel for what the Justice League is experiencing! Big Things Happen and characters yell and punch and discuss a solution. I'm always looking for that denouement.

Basic Plot: The Justice League works to save the multiverse while Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom work to end it.

There was a LOT in this volume. I don't even really know where to start to summarize it. The scope is epic, and carries the hallmarks of the giant crossover series that the Year of the Villain name implies. The writing is good, and the story is moving forward at a decent pace. There are some big changes happening and the writing keeps it all clear. The art is ok. Sometimes really well done, sometimes less polished. Overall, it's an interesting book. It also lends a lot of clarity to the Year of the Villain stories, so if you're reading those, consider this a required part of that.

[J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent stuff. Snyder is actually hitting it out of the park on this one. Personally, I love love love the added "exposition," or what's normally known as narrative in other written genres. Too often, the lack of good narrative confuses the reader, because there are just things that the artist cannot depict, or a "first-person" caption could possibly know. Snyder's run needs to be in an omnibus edition because it's been great reading straight through.

The art is fantastic as usual.

I do prefer the sixth dimension portion of this. Now give me more Jarro!

We get a utopian alt-verse story that is more than it seems and some Year of the Villain stuff starts off.

[Tom Ewing · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ooof. After a couple of volumes where the story managed to hold its own against the cosmology, this one is a right mess. Our heroes travel to the 6th Dimension, the realm “beyond imagination” - perhaps something got lost in higher dimensional translation as “beyond” seems in fact to mean “without” as the JL must confront a utopian future in which (gasp!) not all is what it seems. While the main cast grind through this creakiest of plots we’re treated to vast landfills of multiversal infodump courtesy of the Monitor and his Mum, a Cruela De Vil type who serves as our Big Bad. Never has cosmic storytelling felt so pedantic and joyless.

[Danielle · Rating 2 out of 5]

There are specific moments that I like (especially with Clark and Jon), but this is still way too bloated and off-the-rails. You'd think with so much going on it would be more engaging, but I really had to work through to finish this arc(s).

[Daryn Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a surprise.

I grabbed this on sale because I just wanted the Jorge Jimenez art (and didn't really care that it was a Volume 4)..but it ended up being really enjoyable and I'll probably grab the earlier/later volumes to fill in the blanks.

[Adam Fisher · Rating 4 out of 5]

WOW! Tons to unpack here... very dialogue heavy AND tons of action. Let me try to sum up...
- in order to save the multiverse, the Justice League must learn the secrets of the Sixth Universe. Arriving there (with help from Mr. Mxyzptlk) and greeted by a "perfected version" of Superman, the team learns that they have done something in their future to create a just and harmonious multiverse.
- While the League thinks they are talking to the best versions of themselves, the real Superman is trapped on a world with almost no sunlight. Losing his powers, he doubts he will ever be able to escape and begins to reflect on his life.
- Batman, ever the skeptic, and Shayne (the future son of Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter) are the only two to doubt the peace and harmony. The ruse is revealed when the League refuses to accept the sacrifice they are being told that they will make, and "perfect Superman" reveals himself to be World Forger, one of the sons of Perpetua, who has made the multiverse that the JL find themselves in. He will use the lack of Superman and the doubt of Batman to merge that multiverse with ours.
- Superman, seeking the light with his indomitable will, is able (with a little help from Batman, who is slightly betraying World Forger) to escape the prison, becoming incredibly strong, and taking down World Forger with one punch. Now in a timeline that he had not forseen, World Forger joins the Justice League, thinking they might actually be able to stop the return of Perpetua.
- World Forger knows they only have a chance if they gather the Monitor and Anti-Monitor, his two other brothers. Monitor joins them, but they are unable to find the other.
- Using his connection to the multiverse, World Forger helps JL to recruit all the heroes from other multiverses to help search for the Anti-Monitor. (I assume this will continue in the next Volume.)
- Martian Manhunter goes on the search for Lex Luthor, who while the JL were gone, revealed that the Source Wall had been destroyed by the Justice League and uses the doubt that humanity has to dub "The Year of the Villain" asking humanity to embrace their dark sides.
- MM finds Lex but his mind has been twisted by Perpetua to seek out the existence of the "Apex Predator", a hybrid of human and Martian that she had used as her troops when she was free. Lex is able to overpower J'onn and merge with him forming Apex-Lex.

...let the Year of the Villain begin.

This Volume was very long, but it definitely regained some standing for the Justice League in my mind. I really look forward to seeing how things unfold now as we head into the next crossover era.
If you haven't been following Justice League because of their stories, now is a good time to pick it back up.... but maybe read a few summaries so you aren't lost.
Recommend.

The Sixth Dimension (#19-25). This feels like where it's all been leading. It's one part DC's version of Days of Future Past, but with a delightful twist where it's the heroes themselves who have become unrecognizable, not the society. And it's one part Cosmic Wonder, offering a great capstone to the story that's been going on since Dark Nights: Metal. DC really feels like it's come of its own in the mythology and cosmology of its universe. The middle issue, offering background on the Monitor and Anti-Monitor is really the cherry on top of that. And the emotion of the last issue is terrific. This make me want to reread Snyder's entire Metal story. Can we please have it in a Crisis style omnibus at some point? Just the good parts, please! [5/5]

Apex Predator (#26-28). Unfortunately in the last half of this volume, we switch from Snyder to Tynion, a much less skilled author, and the art similarly gets unfocused and scribbly. Oh, it's a decent continuation of the story. Even if we we get a few different snipe hunts, the cosmic beings continue to gather and we get a good new beat in the Lex/J'onn story. I just wish we'd continued with the more skilled author and artist. (Did they perhaps go over to the Year of the Villain special? If so, shouldn't it have been collected here?) [3+/5]

[Guilherme Smee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Os detratores de Scott Snyder que me desculpem, mas de 100% do que ele faz em 25% ele acerta bem bonitinho. Essa passagem dele pela Liga da Justiça tem sido uma delicinha de se ler. Este arco principalmente porque tem arte de um delicião que é o Jorge Jimenez, com seus desenhos e narrativas ótimos de se acompanhar e ele ainda ajuda Snyder com o argumento. Neste arco os heróis vão parar em uma Sexta Dimensão, mas tudo não passa de uma ilusão feita pelo Forjador de Mundos para que a Liga da Justiça não estrague seus planos para o futuro. Os Justiceiros acabam fazendo uma aliança com o Forjador de Mundo e com o Monitor seu irmão para combaterem a ameaça de Perpétua, que está sob jugo da Legião do Mal, de Lex Luthor. Este último está numa escalada de poder, em que até mesmos eu corpo acaba modificado. Ele faz ofertas de poder a heróis e vilões e com isso começa a saga dcnauta conhecida como O Ano do Vilão. O encadernado original estadunidense dessa saga conta com mais de 300 páginas, quase oito edições das nossas brasileiras. Se você estava com o pé atrás nessa run de Scott Snyder, esse encadernado prova que ela não é ruim, pelo contrário, é boa. Vai na fé!

[Maciej Matusz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally, a Justice League volume by Scott Snyder that I really like. I especially enjoy the whole storyline about the Sixth Dimension and the World Forger. The idea of showing a world where the League has won, but had to bend its own limits for the good of the universe, is something I always welcome, especially when there is a conflict between heroes, where some believe they are morally superior, while another is willing to sacrifice everything to achieve their goals.

It’s one of the simpler story concepts, but at the same time a very effective one, because if the stakes are clearly defined and the stakes here are the multiverse ,then there is truly something worth fighting for. Additionally, we are introduced to one of the beings that has existed in the multiverse since its beginnings, which helps expand the DC universe’s mythology.

The only weaker part of this volume is the final issues, which focus on the Martian Manhunter storyline. This arc is based on the childhood relationship between Luthor and Martian Manhunter, introduced in the previous volume, but in my opinion it is brought in too late to have a strong emotional impact.

[Sarospice · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 Batmite vs. Mxyzptlk would have been worth the price of admission but it resolved off screen. Instead we get another alternate JLA because the main team broke the source wall so now we've got to go thru another Crisis. Lex Luthor is having a Siddhartha moment and attaining enlightenment. John Johnz and Kendra are gonna do it. They already have a multiverse baby to prove it!

[Roxanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Synopsis: I found the Sixth Dimension arc to be a bit confusing, and I'm not sure how on track my synopsis is going to be, but the bare bones plot is the following from what I could gather: Basically, the League needs the three brothers - the World Forger, Mar Novu, and the Anti-Monitor - to work with them if they have any hope of stopping Perpetua. The point of the Sixth Dimension storyline was at the end to bring the World Forger into the Justice League, despite him creating this world where the heroes did win, but it was through questionable means and the death of Superman. We also get an issue that shows us Perpetua's backstory and how her children helped imprison her behind the Source Wall. Lex is dead to the world, but of course he's not actually dead. He tricks Martian MAnhunter into talking with him and J'onn is absorbed into Lex's body, turning Lex into one of Perpetua's ideal beings called Apex Predators.

Review: Again, this Justice League run is dense as hell and this volume is fucking long as hell. I thought it would be less dialogue heavy, but nope, just as dialogue heavy and just as important to the overall story. One thing that really bothers me is when does this take place? I probably shouldn't question these things because that's how comics roll, but still.

I specifically had an issue with the Perpetua issue where we get her backstory and all that. I frankly didn't think it was necessary and really annoyed me when I had to break from the Sixth Dimension storyline to read it. I think that it was definitely a story that could have been told in a couple pages even though I'm sure the writers are just taking their time to cover their bases. I dunno, it feels like this series really wants to drag its feet sometimes, but always teases you about the big war on the horizon.

The art is absolutely incredible for this book. Jorge Jimenez has been absolutely killing it as the main artist for this series - I want all those double splash pages on posters. The pages with Superman flying through all those suns was probably my favorite - so fucking epic on its own, but combined with great writing, it's cosmic. It's hard to say that when I read these Justice League books specifically that I don't feel at least a little bit inspired by the heroes every time. I think Lex makes a good argument for Doom, but if people could see the heroes the way the readers do, I think they would side with Justice.

That being said, I hope Lex gets fucked over by Perpetua somehow, honestly. I've about had it with his ass. What he did to Martian Manhunter was totally fucked and I didn't see it coming. I was a little shocked and I'm not sure how the League will fair without J'onn. He doesn't get enough credit, but he's one of the strongest heroes in the universe and now all his powers are at Lex's disposal. It definitely made me want to pick up the next volume as soon as I can, though, since it all seems to finally be coming to a head.

Overall, it's an ok volume. I thought it dragged at times, but it's definitely one I enjoyed the more I sat with it after finishing than when I initially did.

[John Yelverton · Rating 2 out of 5]

I realize that this is all a part of a bigger story arch, but I do not like seeing the Justice League torn apart as they were in this story and the characters sunk down to the very nadir of their existence. I get enough of that in real life. I read comics to escape it, and dream about the way the world should be.

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad. I have to admit, all of this cosmic malarky with the source wall and the World Forger and the Monitors is... well, way beyond my suspension of disbelief. I've seen worse unbelievability in comics, but this is definitely up there for me. That all said... I did actually really enjoy seeing Mxy in this comic, and I do think that Scott Snyder does an excellent job capturing each Leaguer's unique voice (particularly Martian Manhunter and Flash). I also did really enjoy the flashbacks to Jon when he was a kid (still salty about them aging him up, if I'm honest), and there were some really nice themes in there about perseverance and doing what is right. Some of the themes kind of echoed "Captain America: Winter Soldier" (the idea of stopping threats before they're a threat, thereby abolishing free will), and I have to admit the theme was handled well. I actually got really mad at Batman when he opted to "kill" Superman at one point. (I knew it was going to be okay in the end, but the idea that Batman would even consider that option kind of ticked me off.) Obviously, that fed into the theme of going farther and trying harder to be better, and I guess I can't be too mad since Superman was clearly okay with it, but... Batman is a weird friend. "Hey, I kind of believed the world would be better off with you dead, but I wanted to give you the chance to survive to prove me wrong--to prove that if you could fight for better than we all can fight for better." Anyways, as weird as that was, this story did manage to get me excited for the Year of the Villain. The path to this event has been convoluted beyond reason and has stretched any suspensions of disbelief too far for my liking, but... at least where it's going seems more interesting and maybe a bit more "down to earth." Rather than all this nonsense over magical doorknobs and mystical cosmic trees (I still don't really understand all of that), at least now we have a very clear plot: Justice vs. doom. The soul of humanity is at state, and, if it's played right, this could be a journey that's equal parts introspective emotion and classic comic book action. Here's hoping.

Justice League vol. 4: The Sixth Dimension Contains:

Justice League #19: The Sixth Dimension Chapter 1
Justice League #20: The Sixth Dimension Chapter 2
Justice League #21:
Justice League #22: The Sixth Dimension Chapter 3 - The First Crisis
Justice League #23: The Sixth Dimension Chapter 4
Justice League #24: The Sixth Dimension Chapter 5
Justice League #25: The Sixth Dimension Conclusion / The Message
Justice League #26: Apex Predator part 1
Justice League #27: Apex Predator part 2
Justice League #28: Apex Predator Finale

The story begins with the Justice League entering the Sixth Dimension, an apparent utopia where the Justice League have finally beaten all evil and brought peace. However as you would expect all is not what it seems and on top of that back in the regular universe the Legion of Doom are rising to power.

In the previous volumes Scott Snyder has stretched the story line into realms of wild imagination but with Sixth Dimension there is a point when you feel it’s been stretched to such absurd lengths it might snap. But just when you think that might happen he reels it all back in and produces a tense action packed finale bringing the Sixth Dimension storyline to a satisfactory conclusion. But this volume doesn’t end there as we then move on to the Apex Predator.

Justice League vol. 4: The Sixth Dimension continues moving the current story onwards and at the same standard as its predecessors, in story, dialogue and artwork. It is a very entertaining addition to what is growing into a highly entertaining and imaginative series. However I did feel at times it had, as I have mentioned, wandered into the absurd and Mr Mxyztplk and Bat-Mite for example aren’t my favourite DC characters! But fortunately they only make a brief appearance.

[Britt Halliburton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first ever venture into the DC universe. I didn't realise this was the fourth in the series (bizarrely the number is on the back cover). I was utterly confused, but realising it's the fourth I decided to roll with it and I'd read the earlier instalments later. After reading these, I wound up reading the New 52 Justice League. It is fortunate that this was the first book I read and not those.

While confused, there was plenty to work with and interesting stuff going on. The narrative here is the most straight-forward for the most part, during the 'sixth dimension' part, without jumping all over the place, so it was easy to follow, save for unfamiliar characters and DC world-building.

The artwork is incredible. Mind blowing good, in fact. Jorge Ramirez, I believe it is, is incredible, putting so much character into their bodies and faces. The part I liked less is the actual multiverse part. For me, I always wondered why they didn't do this more often if it's so easy? Just get the multiverse heroes to fix everything at any time. Comic book logic prevents I guess. But, overall, there's a lot of character building and depth to this. Having now read the previous issues, it works well as a culmination of the series.

Name: Justice League by Scott Snyder (2018-2021) issue 1-39
Writer: Scott Snyder


Scott Snyder is one of my favorite comic writers right now. So when I heard he was writing Justice League I had to read it. This run was after the events of DC METAL and No Justice, both written by Scott Snyder. This run serves as a prequel to DC Death Metal. This JL run has become one of my favorites. The artwork is fabulous. The story is well written, it's SCOTT BLOODY SNYDER what else do you expect? Though it heavily leaned towards Death Metal, the read was balanced.

There are 5 vol, 40 issues. You have to read Metal and No Justice for this, those are worth the read. The scenes with jarro are peak comedy. Has to be one of my favorite characters. Jarro is the greatest robin ever. The storylines were super interesting to read. The suspense was damn real. I have read this series twice and both times I was amazed. I will highly recommend reading DC metal and No Justice before this and finishing this run with Year of the villain and Death Metal. The doom event war

Storytelling: 9/10
Artwork: 9/10
Overall: 9/10

Highly recommended to anyone who's into the fun stuff.
