"I have something to say . . . I don't think I can take this anymore. How much more are we supposed to take? And how many more of us will be taken? With each crisis more of us fall." -- Green Lantern

This pessimistic statement opens Cry For Justice, with a downbeat but determined Green Lantern and Green Arrow temporarily distancing themselves from their friends in the JL to pursue their own dogged idea of 'justice.' (Unsurprisingly, it is first of the 'rough' or 'street' level kind as they quickly start busting heads in a Batman-less Gotham City.) Within a short amount of time they are joined by Atom, Shazam, and Supergirl while trying to stop Prometheus, the contemptible villain of the piece.

This one churns along quite nicely, handling a super-sized cast of heroes and heroines very well. A parallel story has the unlikely but effective duo of Congorilla and Starman on their own adventure ('justice' is also their buzzword) before throwing in with the aforementioned cast. Soon all of these protagonists reunite with the League, adding a dozen more characters - like my favs Black Canary and Zatanna - into the mix. That it all works, with everyone having a moment or two, is actually sort of impressive. Even more refreshing was realizing that the tentpole 'Trinity' (Superman / Batman / Wonder Woman) are pretty much absent, but this otherwise does not negatively affect the story.

The artwork was great - Cascioli, Clark, and crew's work is sharp, detailed and colorful. Robinson's minor epic moves along at a vigorous pace - lots of action, a few moments of well-placed humor early on, and some BIG dramatic scenes in the climax. Then there's that quiet 'killer' of a finale . . .

2025 Review - Some dark reading material to start the day. I actually still think this is a solid book even if it has flaws. Like I mentioned, we set up a lot. I'm pretty sure they wanted to just do a darker spin off of Justice League or a mini identity crisis 2. But overall it's still some great character moments and such. I do think the pacing gets sluggish around issue 4-5 but picks up by the end. Overall a 3 out of 5.

2017: I can see why some would dislike this. The overall tone feels very similar to Identity Crisis. With Ollie being one of the main view points, something dark happening at the start the events, and the ending result leaving most in shocked or upset. Luckily for me I actually enjoyed IC ALOT and it's one of my favorite DC events.

The story starts off with heroes wanting justice. Hal and Ollie have had enough after losing Batman/Martian Man Hunter. So they decide to jump ahead of crime and hunt down villains. However, as the pieces build together, we see a new threat. A enemy from the darkness is coming and he sure as fuck is ready to face just about every single hero out there.

What I liked: The art is pretty solid and fits the overall tone. Ollie is always a very enjoyable protagonist as he's very human yet still feels like a hero. The interaction with him and Hal is a huge plus. I also loved how the superheros here had to ask tougher questions than usual and decide on a plan of action.

What I didn't like: Felt like the cast was too large and a lot felt like afterthoughts by the end. I also thought the ending went "too dark" to give it a nasty ending. I don't mind characters dying or hurt but the death of someone in particular felt...forced.

Overall I enjoyed most of this story. It flowed well, the fights were good, art was solid, and the dialog pretty good. I would rate it a solid 3/5 and say it's worth a read for a darker feel of the DC Universe.

[Chad · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is pretty solid if you ignore that characters like the Atom act completely out of character. Here, he's torturing villains. You an see Dan Didio's interference and hate for a certain group of characters as well that appear out of nowhere. I did like Prometheus's resurgence as a Justice League level bad guy, but there are some big plot holes in the latter issues.

Mauro Cascioli's art is great. It reminds me of Mark Texiera. The last issue has some very questionable fill in art though.

[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars. Cry for Justice is worth the read just for the art alone. Wow!
The story was really good, but maybe not quite great. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I didn't feel it was a five star story. Did I mention that I loved the art? I still had an awesome time reading it, even though I'm not as familiar with some of the characters as I would have liked.

[Subham · Rating 3 out of 5]

WOW THIS WAS SOMETHING!

I kinda feel conflicted as its good in one way and bad in other too so I will let you be the judge of it.

The story starts with the aftermath of final crisis and Hal and Ollie want to stop the villains after they made a fool of them but what happens when the villains prove to be too much and a single name comes from all of them behind their organization being PROMETHEUS and thus begins their quest to find him and stop him and at the same time we have other heroes joining them and battling villains and the story of Mik/Starman and Congorilla but what happens in the JLA watchtower to one of their own and the dark fate that awaits Star City and the big plan of Prometheus comes to the forefront here and its a dark ending maybe as characters will be forever changed here.

Plus we get to see his re-origins i.e. of Prometheus, where he has been and all that and leads right into the main story of what he wants to do with the JL and some origins at the back which was fun to know about especially of Mik and Congorilla!

But damn overall this book was dark as hell and we see the heroes take the absolute way of maybe even taking down the villains and all and that this book gives off the same vibes as Identity crisis won't be wrong to say and then we have the big turning point for Ollie as what happens to Roy, Lian and Star city changes him and its a dark turn and just shows the danger that Prometheus really is and the way he took down the JL heroes was so cool showing his lethal-ness. Plus the art was okay for the most part I guess. But yeah overall a mixed emotions of sorts for me, after reading this so I will leave it on you to decide whether to read it or not.

[Danielle The Book Huntress · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was nearly a four star read for me on the strength of the story with Roy Harper and the Justice League and the truly despicable villain Prometheus. He is not only a formidable supervillain but he is also maliciously psychopathic but in a very methodical way. The Justice League underestimated him to their detriment, and he wreaks serious havoc as a result. I read Justice League: Rise and Fall first, so I'm glad I ended up finding this and getting some background on the events in "Rise and Fall." I'm really surprised that Prometheus doesn't get more buzz in the comic book world. He's like a dark Batman and he's super, duper evil. Yet I hadn't even heard of the guy until I read about him on DC Wikia a few months ago.

The reason why I couldn't give this four stars right out is because some parts are a bit hokey and confusing. I didn't like how each person who experiences personal loss due to Prometheus ( and some that are having some misgivings about how non-lethal the Justice League's approach to villains is) issue a 'cry for justice', well it just seemed a bit cheesy to me. Also, Congorilla? What a strange superhero. I was thinking, are you for real? Your mileage may vary.

I have a huge crush on Green Arrow (definitely top five favorite comic book characters), and he's in this a lot, so yay. He shows a lot of loyalty to his friend and co-Leaguer Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), based on their very strong friendship. In the end, he also becomes even more pivotal to this story because of what happens with Prometheus and Roy Harper (his sidekick Red Arrow aka Arsenal aka Speedy).

I also admit to having some confusion about some aspects of the story. I went to my trusty DC Wikia to get some clarification, and that definitely helps.

One of the things I really liked about this book was the artwork. I felt the characters were excellently rendered, and the colors were beautiful. Graphic Novels are inherently visual, and that is such a crucial component that I definitely grade hard on the art. The art in this one stands up very well overall.

Ultimately, this is one of those books that ends up with a half star review, due to the positives and negatives. 3.5/5.0 stars is my rating for "Cry for Justice."

[Tim · Rating 1 out of 5]

All in all, a pretty unenjoyable comic...unlikeable villains meet terse unlikeable takes on the Justice League...with some gruesome violence thrown in on top of some well-executed-but-soulless artwork...not fun. The good thing that came out of reading this was it made me realize that I don't just like ALL comics (which is a relief, I guess).

[Matthew · Rating 3 out of 5]

A real mixed bag of an ensemble cast book. It starts off so strong, with first Green Lantern and Green Arrow teaming up, then the blue-skinned Mikaal Tomas (one of the many DC universe characters named "Starman") teaming up with the equally obscure character Congo Bill. Then Ray Palmer, the Silver Age Atom, starts working with the new Captain Marvel, and the Golden Age Flash gets involved and then Supergirl, Miss Martian, Animal Man, Starfire, Wonder Girl, Vixen, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, the Golden Age Flash, The Shade and the Metropolis Guardian show up at various points and have very little to do.

You see the problem. This is an overstuffed and ever-expanding ensemble, full of characters you have to either know exist (like me) or simply accept that they are in this world and are varying degrees of awesome. The cast gets so complicated it even gets hard for the artists to follow. Someone reminds the colorists that Vixen is black a few issues in, and Prometheus-- the story's main villain!-- gets put in entirely the wrong costume at first. Which is bad, since he's unconscious, and the reader's supposed to realize that he's been captured by the heroes.

Don't get me wrong. There's some entertaining dialog and action throughout. This is in many ways a good book. It's just a book with a lot of problems.

This plethora of heroes means that there's no obvious protagonist. There's a bunch of heroes supposedly trying to take the fight to the villains, but actually just making things worse by accident, probably because none of them have a clear plan or agenda. The word "justice" gets spoken a lot, and there are indications that this is important, which kind of makes sense. The two big DC Hero teams are the Justice League and the Justice Society, so the supers in question should at least wonder what the word means from time to time. This isn't the book to answer, or even coherently state, the question though.

The Grant Morrison-created villain Prometheus is the only character who gets to shine in this story. Maybe it's because the heroes are so completely disorganized throughout, but he does come across as the credible threat to herodom and the world at large that he should, outsmarting and outfighting every overconfident champion in a cape that gets in his way. Even after he's captured he's genuinely scary, and even a bit likeable in his horrible way. Actually, I think a lot of the heroes are added to this story just so he has an impressive roster to mow down in the (admittedly awesome) big fight scene.

As a personal foible, it bugged me that Animal Man is criminally underused in this story. He literally does nothing to justify his presence-- not even a clever quip or a moment of pathos. He's another character that Grant Morrison completely redefined when he got ahold of him, and I suspect that it's for nostalgia's sake that he's even in this story. However, like most of the characters, he has essentially nothing to do but wear a costume and fly around. That's "Cry For Justice"'s problem boiled down to its essence.

That and the fact that the heroes do a lot of crap and talk a good game, but in the end there are probably 100,000 deaths and I'm pretty sure it's the good guys who lost rather than Prometheus who won. Next time I'd like to see some evidence that the heroes are heroic, or at least competent.

[Quintin Zimmermann · Rating 3 out of 5]

A compelling opening sequence with dark tones and rich artwork is later marred by stilted dialogue, serious pacing issues and the inconsistent characterisations of the main characters.

This controversial seven issue comic book limited series had so much potential, but the torturous story eventually circles the drain with implausible plot holes and nonsensical twists.

[Álvaro Velasco · Rating 3 out of 5]

No encuentro mucho sentido a la historia, pero el trabajo de lápices y colores de Cascioli es una pasada.

[Beyondiego · Rating 3 out of 5]

Coole Zeichnungen und ein guter Plot wird eröffnet, welcher die Helden mal wieder gegeinander ausspielt. Nur scheinen die Autoren das im weiteren Verlauf zu vergessen. Helden die sich gegen die abtrünnigen widersetzen, tauchen einfach nicht mehr auf.

[Jason Tanner · Rating 1 out of 5]

Cry for Justice is...well...it's bad. Really pretty to look at, but bad. It's grimdark, ultraviolent, has a wafer-thin plot, lacks even rudimentary characterization for most of the cast, and revels in its own cruelty. I have a hard time believing that this is the same James Robinson who wrote Starman. It is not fun AT ALL despite having a talking ape and Shade and Animal Man and a really potentially exciting cast.

Also, let's take a moment to talk about ALL THE TORTURE. This thing came out in 2009-2010 originally; this is well past the shelf-life for post-9/11 torture porn. Seriously, how is everyone okay with Ray Palmer crawling around in people's heads until they scream in agony? Over and over again? Didn't the whole plot of Identity Crisis revolve around something like this getting out of hand? Shouldn't Ray Palmer of all people have a pretty good reason to NOT FUCKING DO THIS!?! Sure, eventually Green Arrow (not the CW version who kind of gets off on torture, but the comics version who is a straight-up bleeding heart liberal) tells him to knock it off but then Ray Palmer is like "Suck it lib! and Hal Jordan is like"Keep torturing them Ray LOL!" and everyone else is just kind of fine with it.

It's terrible. It's just terrible. I haven't even gotten into the plot. Or the whole thing with Roy Harper. Or Hal Jordan reaching Maximum Chud level. Or how much Prometheus sucks and is playing way above his pay grade here thanks to Robinson Mary-Suing him so hard. Or how basically all the Global Guardians were murdered offscreen and then callously dunked on by a gloating Prometheus. (Because of course all the non-American superheroes are chumps, amirite? I mean, I'm sure that the Global Guardians will reform to be killed offscreen later in another crossover, because, unfortunately, that's what they do, but I swear to God this thing could have been written in 2002 because that seems to be the time period it's written for.)

*sigh*

Just, never mind. Don't read this. The absolute nadir of the New Krypton story, which James Robinson also wrote much of, reads like War and Peace compared to this. I wanted to read the Robinson Justice League run after this but now I really don't know. The best thing to do with this book might be to replace all the dialogue and narration with your own; it would be hard to make it a worse story.

Hacia el final de la etapa McDuffie en JLA, en DC estaban pensando en equiparar la serie a los Vengadores de Marvel, si estos simultaneaban dos series en el mercado (incluso tres en algunos momentos), ¿por qué no iba a hacerlo la JLA? La serie se iba a llamar Liga de la Justicia, y se puso en manos del guionista James Robinson y el dibujante Mauro Cascioli, pero la situación no tardaría mucho en cambiar. McDuffie dejó JLA de aquella manera, y pronto quedó claro que el dibujo de Cascioli no le iba a permitir mantener una serie periódica, así que se tomó una decisión: Robinson pasaría a encargarse de JLA (no habría segunda serie), y el trabajo realizado con Cascioli se convertiría en una serie limitada: Liga de la Justicia: Réquiem por la Justicia.

Todo comienza tras acabar Crisis Final. La Liga había salido mal parada del conflicto con Darkseid, varios de sus miembros habían tenido que alejarse, o habían muerto en la batalla, y el promotor del cambio de orientación sería Hal Jordan, decidido a tomarse más en serio su papel como guardián de la Tierra ante los Green Lanterns, y queriendo que el equipo actuara de una forma menos pasiva y reactiva, pasando a la ofensiva. Junto con Hal Jordan se iría Flecha Verde, y ambos se convertirían en el núcleo de una nueva Liga, en la que contarían con Átomo (el regresado Ray Palmer), Supergirl, el Capitán Marvel (Freddie Freeeman), el Starman de la serie de Robinson (Mikaal Thomas) y uno de esos personajes olvidados que de vez en cuando vuelven, Congorilla. Y el villano de la historia será Prometeo, decidido a convertirse (en sus propias palabras) en un Batman para los villanos, un líder. Y Prometeo pondrá a la Liga en un punto de no retorno al colocar bombas de gran poder destructivo en las ciudades principales del universo DC, desde Metrópolis a Gotham, pasando por Central City, Keystone, Coast City o Star City.

Y la verdad es que Réquiem por la Justicia es una historia complicada, no tanto en sí por la trama, sino por las consecuencias y la dureza de la narrativa. Robinson consigue poner a la Liga en una situación en la que es imposible ganar, en la que obliga al equipo a tomar una serie de decisiones que repercutirán en el futuro del equipo. Es cierto que cuando lo leí en su momento, Réquiem por la Justicia me pareció mucho más épico y brutal de lo que me ha parecido esta vez, quizá porque los momentos más duros ya los conocía, y Robinson los desarrolla de una forma tan realista (la tragedia no avisa, simplemente llega), que queda un poco extraño en un cómic de superhéroes. Aún así, creo que es una historia que hay que leer, porque para bien o para mal, es una historia diferente.

Nadprůměrně nakreslený průměr. Pro neznalého čtenáře peklo ve kterém je více postav než v prvních 100 dílech průměrné telenovely. Pro toho znalého prostě jenom další krize, která se tu táhne čistě přes jednu knihu, byť by člověk čekal, že zrovna z něčeho takového vytaví mnohem větší event.
Obsahově zajímavé i přes to, že to řeší jednu z nejopakovanějších otázek vůbec - měli by hrdinové být proaktivnější a hlavně, jak daleko můžou zajít než se linka mezi hrdinou a padouchem začne splývat. Plán hlavního padoucha je hodně slušný - zaútočit na ty, kdo jsou hrdinům nejblíž a ublížit těm místo nekonečných soubojů s hrdiny samotnými. A ukazuje se, že to je hodně citlivé místo a takhle zranění hrdinové se občas trochu zapomenou chovat jako ti správní. Jenom na konci má člověk tak nějak pocit, že i když se tu překročily snad všechny hranice, tak tady to ještě nikdo neřeší a zbytek tu asi nikdy nevyjde.
Samotné DiCKK vydání je tu zase jednou k pláči, protože se vám nebojí vyspoilovat ani např. takový konec hned v úvodu. #sorrynotsorry

Mohlo by se vám líbit, pokud:
- chcete vidět, jak by to vypadalo, kdyby hrdinové přidali do repertoáru svých zbraní například takové mučení

Spíš vás zklame, pokud:
- nemáte rádi komiksy, kde se objevují desítky postav a příběh skáče z místa na místo
- čekáte, že tohle všechno vedlo k nějakým větším otřesům v tom, jak jsou hrdinové vnímání a jak vnímají sami sebe

So, did you like Arrow Season 5?
I sure did, and that's why I picked up this book to read more about the villain, Prometheus.

I'll keep this short, read this one if you want to the Justice League on their heels after one single villain. This iteration of the team is missing some of the mainstays like Superman and Batman, but the other in the league are not pushovers either. Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Hawkgirl, Miss Martian, The Atom - you name the age-old JL, JLA, and JSA heroes, you got them here.

And picture this, Prometheus had all of them running for their lives, and made them suffer horrible fates. Some of the villains even called him the Batman of the villains, the one baddy that the other criminals were afraid of crossing.

There were some news-portals saying that Prometheus is a Bat-villain, and Arrow is trying forever to fiddle with those. Well, Green Arrow is a major player here and remains such throughout the book. He's as much an Arrow-villain now. The show treated the character right, in fact, downplayed some of the brutal elements of the villain, for keeping the show palatable to the mass TV audience.

Also, the art is fantastic.

Happy reading!

Wonder why this is called Cry for Justice? Cause every six pages, someone says "Justice!"Stilted writing, rushed ending but fun concept

[Emmett Spain · Rating 3 out of 5]

Feel like a story where all the characters act out of character, with brilliant art and some average dialogue, but some epically significant events?

Bingo on this one.

James Robinson has problems with dialogue. It’s evident in his Superman work as well – the man does not know how to write a witty quip or effectively humanise people. What he is good at is plotting – coming up with epic stories that are filled with significant events – thus why he is writing DC’s major titles these days. But this trade is some of his worst yet in many ways – the dialogue has to be re-read in parts just to understand what he’s trying to convey, and the characters? Remember compassionate Ray Palmer in the Blackest Night story arc? Here he tortures at least 5 villains. Yep – Ray Palmer, the Atom, the man who doesn’t like to be seen and has great compassion for all creatures great and small, apparently also likes torture. Versatile guy. Hal Jordan also doesn’t mind a bit of torture if James Robinson is to be believed. In this way, the story fails badly – it’s based upon characters not acting like themselves… this is almost an Elseworlds tale it’s so far out of character.

It’s also dark. I won’t say who, but one character has their arm cut off and their child killed, and there are many many deaths in this trade, the last of which twisting one of the characters into a new direction. That part, at least, was understandable given all that had come before.

Mostly this trade is redeemed by the art. It’s amazing to look at. The only beef being that the artist doesn’t effectively capture sadness – it’s the one emotion that doesn’t come through very well.

Overall, this is a significant story for the DCU. If only it were written by someone who had even a basic grasp of the characters.

[Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first Robinson book and I loved it! Robinson takes a bold look at how the JLA has acted in the past, whats been going on in the DCU, and how the Heroes should act in the future. He addresses what makes a hero a hero, and what separates the heroes from the villains. I also like how Robinson creates a truly bad-a@@ villain, and even gives us a reason as to why the heroes haven't given any attention to this guy Prometheus before (or some even heard of him), and why he was considered a B-list villain at best prior to this story.

Not only that but you don't have to be aware of the happenings in the DCU to pick-up this book, Robinson fills in the gaps as to the heroes motives and gives enough information to where anyone could pick this up and enjoy it and understand whats going on! That is saying something in comics.

Not only do you get the treat of Robinson's writing in this book, but Mauro Cascioli's painted art is beautiful and I love all his depictions of the various players in this book. Notable new-for-me character was Congorilla; I liked his story and character for some reason.

Awesome, amazing book with a jaw-dropping ending note to boot.

[TJ Shelby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me say that I am already a James Robinson fan. Aside from Geoff Johns run on Green Lantern, Robinson is the unsung hero at DC. He made Superman relevant again. That hasn't happened since he died and returned. So when I saw he was taking a shot at the Justice League I was SO EXCITED. McDuffie has been alright but when the competition has had The Avengers in the capable hands of Bendis for the last 5 or 6 years, McDuffie was out of his league (no pun intended).

Okay, it took a little while to get started but any new formation intro story has to do that. What any team formation story needs is a reason to form and a grand scale reason for doing so. Robinson produces Prometheus as a maniacal, formidable foe.

I also loved the change of pace with this League. In terms of morals and approach, think old JLA as compared to Teen Titans but Robinson's new Justice League is more of The Outsiders. Pro-active versus reactive.

And the ending...damn...

[Fugo Feedback · Rating 4 out of 5]

Una vez más termino votando con criterios más plásticos que literarios. La historia está bien contada. Desvaría un poco en algunas partes y no todos los personajes están bien llevados, pero -salvo ese final tan anticlimático- me gustó mucho. Nuevamente es un espectacular dibujo (con espectacular armado de página y espectacular coloreado haciendo juego) lo que me pareció genial, así que acá me tienen regalando estrellitas una vez más a una obra bastante buena, pero donde se pueden encontrar más de un hoyito argumental.
Ahora que la tengo de Planeta voy a ver cuándo le pego una releída íntegra y si tengo mucho de qué quejarme de la edición gallega.

[Kyle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Typical Robinson. Panoply of characters broken into three, over-lapping and, eventually, coinciding narratives; slow-boiling early development followed by sudden, unsatisfying finale. If this author could keep a steady pace from beginning to end, he would construct much better stories... But, he always rushes the ending, leaving me unsatisfied. The artwork is above average in this volume, though.

[Shannon Appelcline · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can see why the people who didn't like Identity Crisis wouldn't like this either, as it has the same gritty realism. However, I think it's a fine book, full of tough choices, moral quandaries, and great characters. Its only notable flaw is Robinson's obsession with the word, "Justice".
