The heroes out of time face the truth of their existence while Earth and the entirety of reality splinters all around them. This is the kind of comic that leaves you psyched and immediately hoping for more. Read Full Review
It's pretty rare when something that's written this good looks at this good in a way that feels as well modulated as this. All too often in DC or Marvel try a major mega crossover event and it just feels like there's a whole lot of people standing around and posing. The creative team for this particular series has done a really good job of taking a deep dive, look at a certain characters which illuminate the overall action going on in the larger, mega crossover event. Quite an accomplishment in its own right. It's just a very, very enjoyable opening for the new story. Read Full Review
This adventure has the potential to be an engaging mix of characters that in Waid's hands could very easily make for a fun JLU spin-0ff if this first taste is any indication. Read Full Review
This issue is so continuity-dense and packed with era-accurate details that it's the kind of thing that could only come from a master of DC like Waid. Read Full Review
As an arc opener, and an event tie-in no less, Justice League Unlimited #12 stands as a surprisingly poignant character-oriented tale. Read Full Review
Justice League Unlimited #12 is an excellent example of how a tie-in can elevate the story of a big event. While DC K.O. #1 was largely focused on getting over the big ideas of the event Justice League Unlimited #12 immediately focuses on the ground level impact. Read Full Review
Dan Mora delivers some breathtaking art throughout this issue. The visual style is unmatched and the imagery is brilliantly immersive. Read Full Review
Mr. Terrific assembles a time-lost team to handle a future problem in this debut arc. Waid conducts a trip into a hellish landscape with the writing. Mora and Bonvillain delver on impressive art with each panel. Buckle in for what is guaranteed to be a wild ride. Read Full Review
Justice League Unlimited #12 branches off from the main DC K.O. event with a fun concept and interesting team. This creative team is firing on all cylinders, guaranteeing another fantastic story from this series. It is safe to say that the Terrific Ten is terrific fun! Read Full Review
Justice League Unlimited #12 is a great read that's bursting with fantastic character ideas and stellar artwork, but it suffers from a pacing issue that makes it feel like pure setup. Get ready for an epic mission to hell and back, but maybe pack a snack, because we're only just getting to the boom tube now. Read Full Review
10 specifically for the James Gunn bit.
James Gunn is the man.
Another great K.O. crossover from Waid (though his Flash K.O. crossover this month is even better!). Nice setup this issue for what’s to come. Loving the time-lost heroes appearing in the book, as they bring a lot of emotion and nostalgia to an already-wonderful story. The Mora art is gorgeous as always!
Justice League Unlimited #12 is another one of these DCKO tie-ins that did zero for me. This whole concept of evacuating the planet Earth is preposterous and this comic just kept beating that drum. It’s written as if the Justice League are Gods overlooking the human race and the humans are just mindless lemmings following the will of the “heroes”. The major plot of the over powered super villains is quickly explained on one page and then on the next page, there is another silly concept featuring alternate/earlier versions of key League members. There is very little to latch on to or care about in this book. If this KO event was supposed to pull me into these DC titles … it’s failing miserably.
Mark Waid you need to stop simping over James Gunn. Disgusting.
