The teams arrive at Brainiac’s home world to find it already in chaos. Only by splitting up and journeying to the four cosmic trees of Colu will they have any hope of saving the planet…but what’s waiting for them will test the true mettle of their new alliances!
Prior to his first professional work, Tynion was a student of Scott Snyder's at Sarah Lawrence College. A few years later, he worked as for Vertigo as Fables editor Shelly Bond's intern. In late 2011, with DC deciding to give Batman (written by Snyder) a back up feature, Tynion was brought in by request of Snyder to script the back ups he had plotted. Tynion would later do the same with the Batman Annual #1, which was also co-plotted by Snyder. Beginning in September 2012, with DC's 0 issue month for the New 52, Tynion will be writing Talon, with art by Guillem March. In early 2013 it was announced that he'd take over writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws in April.
Tynion is also currently one of the writers in a rotating team in the weekly Batman Eternal series.
Again not bad, I planned to read this after the dark verse event i read. I think it was teased to be the next story by Snyder or something. This flu really wrecked my body and schedule last few days. But hopefully next week all will be good.
Hrmmm.... again, not sure why this only got 4 issues. I could definitely see this using six issues to tell a great story where as four issues I think will end up being too rushed. I've seen one person comment on this saying something along the lines of "I wish there was more to some characters than just showing up to have one quip per issue" and they hit the nail on the head to be completely honest. Like I get why this is set up the way it is given the previews for the new Justice League, Justice League Dark, and Justice League Odyssey titles, but it's not much more than a way to justify those titles to be honest and that to me is telling of the quality of the story.
A very anticlimactic climax and a sloppy villain reveal. Muddy plot. Don’t get me wrong, the teams look way cool standing and fighting together. Just a bummer the plot is paper thin.
Despite liking the first issue quite a lot and having the surprise twist at the end, making me quite interested in the series, I was still a bit skeptical regarding how it's gonna pan out in the upcoming issues. But the second issue of 'Justice League: No Justice' is even better than the first one it seems. It has fast-paced action, enjoyable dialogues among the unlikely allies and the art somehow seems even better than the first issue.
The story continues from where we left our heroes as they try to stop the destruction of the planet 'Colu' from 'The Omega Titan' working as the seemingly mismatched groups. They get deeper into the mysterious forces at work here while trying to find out means to stop this impossible foe. While on Earth Amanda Waller tries to find ways to rectify what she had done in the previous issue.
The character banter is the high point of this issue, as the teams reluctantly have to fall into the formation created by Brianiac. I just loved Martian Manhunter here, how he took charge at times and his dynamic with Lex Luthor and Starro. Some other members also find they have things in common and the new formation does help their cause as well. I just loved how the story never really got clumsy despite having three writers (which seemed a recipe for disaster, when I first thought about it), and how the multiple parallel plots keeps going forward with such momentum. DC is trying to tell an event level tale in just four issues and managing this daunting task quite formidably so far.
Once again the art is so damn good here. It has two artists, but I never actually felt that when reading the issue as the transition is very smooth. Once again, Manapul makes excellent use of double page-spreads to convey the hectic nature of the conflict. He even does pages with four panels depicting the four different teams in action together in a double-page spread and that adds to the momentum even more. The coloring by Hi-Fi is also just as good as the last issue as he makes the action seem to pop out from the pages.
This is turning out to be a great mini-series from DC, which is getting better with every issue. Hoping the next one will be even better.
I loved this more than the first issue, so 4.5 out of 5 stars from me.
Honesty time: Two of these stars are purely for Batman trying to choke out a robotic sentry with this thighs (and hands) while Superman clutched his metaphorical pearls, and for his expression when he realizes Lex is right about the situation.
Other than that...there's potential here. Real potential. But I'm not sure it'll get reached. Snyder usually starts strong and falters around the midway mark. I guess that could be happening here since this technically is the end of the first half of the No Justice miniseries. Maybe he'll finish strong for once?
While getting all the DC superhero groups and even super villains together to save the multiverse seems like a gripping story, I’m just not feeling it. I’m hoping for a big pay off in issue 4, but this seems like another big comic reboot just a couple years after a Rebirth.
Once again, I can't believe how lame the dialogue is in this book. I could literally rag on it page by page, which is a shame because the art is fantastic, and I'm actually enjoying the story itself. 🤷♂️
