This was an excellent story! Johns has done it again with the Justice League. This felt like an epic movie!

Finally got around to this title. It is interesting all the threads that come loose in this volume almost match the threads that are finished here. To understand various of the ongoing threads in DC Comics, it is essential to read this volume. But it just is not as much fun as various other volumes.

This has the epic feel of one of DC's big event books. It's actually surprising to me this wasn't. It references all the previous Crisis events. I like how Metron still had knowledge of the previous reboots of DC. Ultimately, this is Darkseid vs the Anti-Monitor with the Justice League dealing with the fallout. I liked the addition to the Amazon's history and the repercussions are just now being felt in James Robinson's Wonder Woman stories. I also liked how the Anti-Monitor was tied into the Mobius chair. This does not contain all of the Darkseid War stories. There were also a series of Power of the Gods one-shots that take place midway through the story. They are collected in Justice League: Darkseid War - Power of the Gods but are not essential to the story.

This was a great example of a comic epic. The entirety of the Justice League’s epic war with Darkseid wrapped into one concise package. Overall a great piece with an engaging story and great art to back it up.
