Geoff John's tries to be a little too clever with the second half of Darkseid War. The result is a messy book, full of cliches. John's also ressurects the dated practice of narrating events that we can clearly see. Luckily, there are some interesting struggles and pretty pictures along the journey. Not a bad read, but lacking compared to the first act.

wha.......
so this book takes place after Darkseid war and most of the league get the powers of the gods such as Batman who is the god of knowledge, Shazam became the god of gods, flash becomes the black racer, Superman becomes the god of strength after falling into the pits of Apokolips and Lex Luthor becomes the god of Apokolips. they even leave you with a really cool cliffhanger at the end.
overall good book

Концовка заставила меня себя почувствовать неловко из-за того, что я считал большинство сюжетов манги и аниме долбанутыми. Одни других вполне стоят.

Well, there is sort of an ending to this whole run in this issue. It must be my age, but it's frustrating that they sacrifice telling a narrative so the story makes sense so that they can tell a super-fast paced exciting story that doesn't stop. It's hard to connect to the characters and action because there is no time. For me it takes some of the fun out of it.
Still, there is enough of a bare story to at least be entertaining. There are resolutions to things and things unexplained. I thought the ending was a good enough ending. I thought this was supposed to be the end of this series and then they leave us in a cliff hanger. Really? I found out there is a little half volume after this, so I have to hunt that down.
This is Geoff Johns and I kind of expect more from him. I don't feel like he lets the reader down like DC tends to do. He knows his characters. But, I felt this was a little muddled. He is probably exhausted from writing most of the good stuff from this DC 52 run. Oh well, I hope it's better in the future.

What an absolute pile of shit
guess it's an apt end to the horrendous new 52 run of Justice league .
I mean what the hell happened in this ? Batman spend the whole saga literally sitting on his ass. Superman spent his time fighting his fellow JL member , Wonder woman kept on narrating , Flash was just STANDING* , Green Lantern and others were just There I guess the 3 stars are simply for the superb art and the few stunning revelation , but make no mistake this was a piece of garbage
* Yep the fastest man on the comic-verse standing still on his spot

ugh, over 4 years of stories lead up to this, ultimately devoid of personality, insight, or even action.

I read this volume in one go which I never did owe to the time it takes to complete but with this, I was so psyched to know what will happen next?
The whole volume was fun to read with the Big moments to its credits, I didn't know what I should feel at the end because of the fewer explanations it gave at the end.
Although the whole volume was great it didn't work for me in parts but it was an enjoyable read.

Well, I just finished the second part of "The Darkseid War". Like part 1, this was a solid book. The writing was good, and Jason Fabok's art was mighty impressive.
They had some guest artists on a few issues that didn't quite hold up against Fabok's.
Some of the plot points didn't really feel like they were fully explain or, in some cases, necessary.
I like the big, epic stories, but miss the days on the "one and done". I remember the comics when I was growing up where you sat down, read the book, and finished the story. Now you almost have to wait for the trades to come out to be able to read it all at once.
Anyway, on to the next one.....

This was an epic event!
It continues the saga and we follow the heroes of JL as they become god, the reformation of Mobius and the coming of the Crime Syndicate and their rebirth and whatever plans Grail has for Steve Trevor and her plans with the Anti-Life Equation and war on both sides and the fall of a dark god and the rise of one and the ultimate battle on all sides, good vs evil, startling revelations and big status quo changes and new legacies. AND THE ENDING JUST WOW!
This was an epic volume and has such great moments and I love the way Johns explores Grail and gives her a definite character arc and also expands on her birth and hints at a big WW connection and also the way he resolves it is awesome and I love every moment of it, the art is next level good and each page is like a poster unto itself. Its awesome and like one of the best DC stories ever! Also one of the best Wonder Woman stories ever! MUST MUST READ!
