    Justice League #74 ends this story and Bendiss run on the book. Its a beautiful issue with amazing art. Bendiss run on Justice League has been a lot better than it gets credit for, and this issue is a fantastic example of why. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker

    Mar 15, 2022

    Justice League #74 is a satisfying end to the arc. Bendis pulls out a conclusion of great magnitude. The characters are fantastic and the team-up between the two teams really works well. It avoids standard tropes of conflict between the groups and they function largely like an extended roster of the team. Whilst the comic loses ground, the art saves it by being jaw-dropping. Lupacchino and Von Grawbadger are terrific artists who can carry a Justice League book on their own. But Kudranskis art style is one of the most awe-inspiring I have ever seen. It is certainly not for everyone, but it is definitely worth a try. Read Full Review

    Justice League rebounds slightly from a rough previous issue as Leagues of Chaos reaches its end. The issue, supersized though it is, is still overstuffed, but is still far more coherent than #73. There is some potential here, but gaunt plot development prior to issue #74 ensured that this arc would be a miss. The Bendis Justice League dies as it lived, promising but unfulfilled.

    Much of Justice League #74 is steeped in murky darkness to achieve an evident good vs. evil contrast, but unfortunately, those shadowy scenes do little to help readability. Read Full Review

    Justice League #74 was emblematic of Brian Michael Bendis' entire run on the title. Bendis is great at producing ideas with a lot of potential, but he often has trouble realizing that potential. I think the main problem was that he had trouble remembering that this title was about the Justice League first and foremost. However, I do wish him well on his other projects. Hopefully, they will work out better for him. Read Full Review

    While you may have found something in this Justice League arc interesting and thought that maybe a deeper dive into those concepts would make a cool story, what you get for an ending is Naomi saving the day while everything else is thrown away to say that Naomi is the greatest. The art in this issue is rough and the story is ridiculous, but hey, at least it's over. Read Full Review

    This is really, really bad. I don't know how you even arrive to this point in your writing. Like... what kind of headspace do you have to be to think this is a satisfying conclusion to... whatever this arc was. To think, this entire Justice League run took place over one week. It's just crazy. I'm glad it's done. Unfortunately, there's the whole LoSH event thing, but man, Bendis should focus on indies, I think.

    Man I feel so bad for the Justice League. I mean, they will die in the next issue and everything they have before that is this sh*tshow of run. Idk why someone could choose Bendis for this book but they need to fired that person.

    It completely amazes me, how we had so many volumes and so many books with Bendis! Nothing helps in this book and the only reason I could give it more than 1 is because it's the last. I wish Bendis the best of luck in other projects, but please DC, get organized and do a good job.
