The continuation from Volume One, and the story remains in its dark place, with sides being chosen, and battles being fought. This is seriously one of the best DC books that I have read in a while since the Court of Owls from the Batman new 52.
Buy this, own it, and read it all.

HEY! GUYS! I'll take more of this, please.
✘ Give me more humor like this, especially when Green Arrow and Harley Quinn are involved. BEST. TEAM-UP. EVER!!
✘ Keep the plot twisted and captivating as hell.
► We definitely get a dictator vibes going on, because do you really think dictators come and tell people that they're going to oppress them? God, if only it was that simple... No, really, in my opinion the issue is perfectly handled - just go and listen to dictators speeches. You'll find "the greater good" and "we have to protect you" kind of bullshit more often than not.
Where to stop? Is it possible to save people if we have to control their lives to do so? Who is right and can we really know for sure?
► Great actions scenes, and plot twists I didn't see coming. Yes, another MC dies, and damn it, it depressed me.
✘ Offer us several amazing and complex characters. So, to sum up, we have Superman who's becoming crazier and crazier (yes. I'm kinda scared of him), Luthor who shows up all friendly (when did that happen exactly? Huh?), Batman who's being Batman (you know what I mean), Damian who's a pain in the ass (obviously), Wonder Woman who's seriously losing it... and all the crew, really... Except they're slip into two teams, and frankly? Always on team Batman. What? You can't wipe off years of fangirling that easily.
In a word, the plot is brilliantly crazy, the characters are complex, the lines between good and evil have never been as blurred, and the whole thing kept me enthralled from page 1. Next, please?

Surprised by how much I liked this. The art is inconsistent and it's frequently very stupid but there's an entertaining silver agey silliness to it.

Loved it. Feels weird to call it fun, considering how dark the story is (and how much darker it goes), but it really IS awfully enjoyable. Tom Taylor does a great job balancing the darkness of the premise, the awesomeness of the fight scenes, and the surprising bits of humor. Also, the character moments are just so on point. I can't go into my favorite moments without spoilers, but I am really into this series and looking forward to reading the next volume.
