This was pretty good. Basically grabbing together all the magic users to stop Spectre from going completely fucking insane. While it's a lot at first, and hard to keep up with everyone, the second half is full on war, with plenty of great character moments, and a dower ending that leads into Infinite Crisis in a great way. A 3.5 out of 5.
The cracks into the justice league leave this group of heroes fractured and broken.
Villains who've regained their memories after them being wiped go after Superman, and Lois, and the Justice League has to stop them. Which leads us to the point of them having to decide what to do. Do they erase their memories? Is it too much of a burden for multiple heroes to hold. What is the right and wrong choice here? A ending that leaves this entire world of DC in a nasty spot before Infinite Crisis truly begins.

A okay issue. Hobgonlin back in town but whooooo can it be? Peter protecting Norman is weird...
Hobgoblin is revealed! And it's a okay reveal...however the fights are well drawn and flow nice.

Again, the fights are great, but the end result was kind of lame. Especially letting the mastermind get away.
Not loving this direction with Ben. I could live without this new costume too. I like Wells but the way he doing Ben dirty here is not fun at all.

Re-read 2023: I agree with everything said before. It's BIG but it also flows nicely. Some great character moments, and even more so now that I have a ton of DC history in my head now. Worth it for sure if you love the DC Lore.
Original 2017 Review: Well color me impressed, I had fun with this. I can get that some might find this "too big" or "Too messy" or "Just not for me" and I get that. I do. However, I found the ambitious 200+ page book to be a lot of fun. I didn't read any lead ups to this (which I heard were all good) but I still really enjoyed a lot of this.
Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman are at odds. Then we have Superman from earth 2 upset of how the world has turned out. He also has Lex/Superboy on his side and they decide to change things. Of course you have the main villain, Lex, and a misguided hero Superman earth 2, and a broken one Superboy. Mix them all together and you have a very fun crossover with a ton of shit happening.
What I liked: The art was solid throughout. I felt it mixed old school and new well. The pacing is so fast you might have to re-read pages a few times because you might miss things by blinking! Each page is basically focusing on someone new and I thought that was smart. I was never bored. Confused a bit? Sure. But never bored. I also liked how the world had to work together and some really great team ups. We all had some great moments like Superboy prime vs Superboy or Superboy Prime vs two supermans. Both really fun.
What I didn't like: This is ALOT and some panels I was just like who the fuck is that? And then they never show up again. Also one thing it felt a little TOO gory filled and bloody. I get that's the idea behind the message here but goddamn there was a ton of fucked up deaths.
I really did have a good time reading this. I mean no event is perfect, I never read one I'd give a 5, but this is too fun to give it any less than a 3.5 but my enjoyment with it I'ma round it up to 4. So saying that, checking Infinite Crisis. I recommend having a decent amount of knowledge in the universe before jumping on it though!

Crazy ass stories stays crazy.
We finally get closure on the Granny spirit and then it settles down into the school setting a lot more. But soon we find out instead of our main hero missing his dick, his BALLS are now gone. Does that make you go "What the fuck is happening?" Good, that's the point of this book.
It's funny, over the top, kind of badass at times, and this volume made me want to read more.

A really solid start to a new series. Good writing mix with AWESOME art that flows so damn well. I'm pretty excited to see where we go from here.
Well shit man you going to hit me in the heart like that? We learn about Spectre old partner years and years ago and then how Spectre can repay him for all he's done...Hit like a damn truck.
