You may recall that this comic was prefaced by Flash point, a Flash story which ultimately was menat as nothing but an excuse to reboot the world, because they couldn’t just do it despite it being literal fiction and them having full ability to do so
And then we get to the meat of this comic with its “epilogue”, involving Pandora, a new character from the previous universe, with solid art by Carlos D’Anda and a colorist who I will no longer name because he’s thrown in with the Cee Gees and their hatred of everything
The League has picked up on Hal Jordan’s epiphany plan of “ambush Darkseid then stab him in his laser eyes”, while Darkseid actually speaks to talk about a “Her” who doesn’t matter at all to this particular story
At least we end on an impressive Jim Lee landscape of Apokolips, the gas chamber world that Darkseid rules, and communicating the dread the script failed to show. Gotta love comic artists for putting so much labor in making spectacles you just linger on for a second then forget
So in preparation for today’s review I watched #JusticeLeagueWar , the debut of DC’s shared universe of direct-to-streaming animated movies, and a straight adaptation of this story I’m reviewing
Darkseid Is! The subject of today’s issue of the #New52 #JusticeLeague live-read, the debut of the #dccomics reboot that nobody outside of upper management wanted.
@XTMO_0000 @AlexisTiptonVA They don’t correspond to the common species of boys seen in the meme
Of all the characters here, Cyborg got the most of his backstory thrown out, with his entire time with the #TeenTitans having been scrubbed so he can join the New 52 #JusticeLeague as the token POC and the team noob
This look is still very much playing to Diana’s established aesthetic, and I think the silver metal works much better than the gold. And the asymmetrical arm band is a nice touch in that kind of Final Fantasy ultra-accessorized way
Not everyone has to draw like Jim Lee, and not everyone should have to take shortcuts to make enough comics to earn anything substantial. Then John Romita Jr. wouldn’t have to use his inhumanly fast drawing speed to produce work below the standard we know he can reach
