Justice League: The New 52 Omnibus 2

Product Information

This one was honestly a head-scratcher for me, and I managed to make head and tails of Final Crisis! The final story arc, The Darkseid War, is full of bombastic moments are is non stop from the first page to the last and helps set up future story arcs that were a part of the Rebirth story/line of comics. Enjoyed Batman sitting in the Mobius chair but, the entire flashpoint shit towards the end was confusing.

Now Darkseid will once again make the planet a war zone, as Earth becomes the frontline in his battle with the Anti-Monitor one of the most powerfully destructive creatures ever created! It’s a thrilling combination of largely character driven story and near cinema like artwork that evokes the work of a Bryan Hitch. Luckily, both of those subplots are pretty compelling - Jessica might be Johns' best new character, and seeing Lex toe the line between good and evil was also interesting.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good entry level Justice League run, but if I wanted to show someone what comics are actually capable of, I'd still reach for his Green Lantern work first. Now, I actually wasn't aware of this when I bought the omni, but the DC Universe: Rebirth one shot is included here! Fabok is one my my favourite comic artists and his versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are incredible to see. Through perseverance, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4.

The events of Forever Evil give this run an actual narrative thrust that makes it feel more cohesive. Johns also isn't as distracted by the other going ons in the DCU at this point, so it feels like he's actually focused on the characters of his own book. He saves the day so he can rub it in to other people that he’s saved the day and is better at doing it then them 😅😂 Just perfect. Lex’s arrogance and ego have always been staples of his character, and having those be the reason he wants to defeat the Crime Sydicate makes for a fun read.

In 2011, DC s New 52 era ushered in daring reinventions of pop culture s greatest characters with the Justice League at the forefront! After moving to Los Angeles, he became an assistant to Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Movie.I suppose it should go without saying that you're better off forgetting everything that was established about the Monitors pre-N52. On the topic of artwork, you'll be seeing a lot of David Finch and Jason Fabok artwork here, and it's awesome!

The storyline was easy to follow, the characters were pretty great, and it pays off some of the tension in the first half of this run. Coupled with the consistently great artwork, this is a really good read, though it still doesn't live up to Johns' best runs. Johns was an executive producer on the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and co-wrote the 2017 hit film Justice League as well as the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 film starring Gal Gadot.Lex as a hero is a smart idea, and having him do it purely out of ego and narcissism (and not an actual want to help people) is just brilliant.
