About this deal

In 2011, DC’s “New 52” era ushered in daring reinventions of pop culture’s greatest characters with the Justice League at the forefront! He belittles his foes (and his allies) and takes on an almost “Iron Man” role in the League (without any of Tony’s charm or actual heroism).

I suppose it should go without saying that you're better off forgetting everything that was established about the Monitors pre-N52. 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. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.

Coupled with the consistently great artwork, this is a really good read, though it still doesn't live up to Johns' best runs. On the topic of artwork, you'll be seeing a lot of David Finch and Jason Fabok artwork here, and it's awesome! We could've gotten a better sense of what's going on in Grail's head, but instead, there's a weird interlude in the middle where the Justice Leaguers gain godlike powers and spend some time being gods.

Fabok is one my my favourite comic artists and his versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are incredible to see. I don't get why it had to be this way when Johns had five years to establish these core elements of his climactic arc. Nevertheless, both volumes of these omnibus collected editions were page turners filled with some good stuff. The Justice League first came together years ago to stop Darkseid and his Parademon army from invading our Earth.Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank. 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. Although I liked certain elements of Darkseid War, I was ultimately disappoint with the lack of Darkseid.

Forever Evil is kind of a silly concept for an event - a group that is referred to in the book as 'evil Justice League' takes over the world, and only the villains can stop them! And the fact that they had to reboot the universe again left some plot threads lingering, never to be resolved (or maybe they in rebirth, I really haven’t read much past the new 52). The events of Forever Evil give this run an actual narrative thrust that makes it feel more cohesive.After moving to Los Angeles, he became an assistant to Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Movie. As this evil version of the Justice League takes over the DC Universe, no one stands in the way of them and complete domination no one except for Lex Luthor. 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!

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. I appreciate the inclusion here - you can now treat these omnis as the story of The New 52, how it started and how the initiative ended. In a flash of light, the world s most powerful heroes vanish as the Crime Syndicate arrives from Earth-3!

Their characters and environments have a cinematic look to them, while also having a nice level of detail. 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. Now, I actually wasn't aware of this when I bought the omni, but the DC Universe: Rebirth one shot is included here! It’s a thrilling combination of largely character driven story and near cinema like artwork that evokes the work of a Bryan Hitch.
