Justice League #73

Justice League #73 is a well-paced middle chapter of a story. Bendis shines in stories where he can't meander along, and that's on full display in this issue. Kudranski and Lupacchino do a great job on the art, with Kudranski killing it. All in all, an entertaining issue. Read Full Review

Each of the artists does a great job of complementing the others with art that is visually thrilling and beautifully detailed. Read Full Review

A decent penultimate issue, but Bendis still has a lot to tie up. Read Full Review

Justice League #73 manages to strike a balance between two of the most unique parts of the Justice League: the fights, of course, and the unusual relationship between so many different types of heroes who've come together. Read Full Review

Justice League #73 continues the exciting arc but needs to be careful. Whilst the action and the grandiosity of the comic are accentuated by Bendis with some awe-inspiring standoffs and dialogue, it faces the danger of running out of steam early. The dependence on excessive dialogue and lengthy diatribes can kill the speed. What saves the issue is the superb art on display that can continue to maintain interest when the writing falters.

Justice League #73 looks stunning, but unfortunately the writing holds little depth. Brian Michael Bendis is an idea machine. However, he frequently is unable to do much with his good ideas. He still has one last issue left, so maybe he might be able to save this story in the conclusion. Overall, I'd rate this issue rather low, but I have to add points for the great work of the art team.

Justice League has been a slog a consistent one, but a slog all the same. Thankfully theres just one more issue left in Bendis amazing effort to make this run of Justice League one of the worst. Read Full Review

This comic book is a disaster. That was always going to be a possibility given the ambition of the plot laid out by #73. Still, this effort is subpar by the standard of any Big Two comic book, let alone one with Justice League on the cover. Joshua Williamson has his work cut out for him if he means to salvage a major event from the rubble that is Bendis's year on Justice League. Read Full Review

While I thought that the previous issue of this arc was probably the best issue that this Bendis run has seen, this issue made me lose all hope for this arc in general as it goes back to normal Bendis tropes that just drag everything down. The art thankfully is still great but everything else is pretty much just nonsense. Read Full Review

It seems bendis saved the best for last. I'm a big fan of bendis usually but his justice league run hasn't really worked for me. I liked the way it started but then I kind of lost interest. This current arc has been really good though with this being my favorite so far. I will say I do find Naomi to be out of place and very forced in this justice league run. I think the whole story while very good would be a lot better if it weren't for Naomi. Honestly I think she is a pretty cool character with a lot of potential but she is too centralized in a book she doesn't really belong in

At least I know what's going on in this issue. So 0.5 higher than the previous issue...

Just one more issue. Man. This issue had an excess of double page splashes, and this time around, it wasn't just so Bendis could fill them with dialogue. So this read fairly quickly. The story feels nonexistent, and this is all a waste of time.
