Comics superstar Geoff Johns pens the stunning finale to his monumental four-year run on the World's Greatest Heroes, aided by acclaimed illustrators Jason Fabok and Francis Manapul.

THE FINAL BATTLE

In the aftermath of Darkseid's death, the members of the Justice League have received immense power-the power of the Gods! Superman, Batman, Flash, Shazam, Green Lantern and Lex Luthor have been transformed, gifted the abilities of the New Gods. Even for superheroes, this near omnipotence is an unfathomable amount of power.

With her teammates' humanity slipping away in the face of their newfound abilities, Wonder Woman must fight to save them all from destruction at the hands of the Anti-Monitor. To defend her world, she'll have to seek help from the Justice League's greatest enemies...the Crime Syndicate!

The conclusion to the DC event of the year, JUSTICE LEAGUE VOL. 8: DARKSEID WAR PART 2, collects JUSTICE LEAGUE #45-50 and JUSTICE LEAGUE: DARKSEID WAR SPECIAL #1.

"JUSTICE LEAGUE is a must read."--COMPLEX MAGAZINE

"Genuinely exciting."--CRAVEONLINE

"Johns, Fabok, Anderson and Mangual have returned the scope of Justice League adventures to a grand scale and, with this issue, they bring the story to a strong finish reminiscent of classic Justice League tales."--CBR

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Geoff Johns is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, film and television producer, showrunner, and entrepreneur known for re-imagining superheroes and other iconic mythologies, past and present. Johns is best known for his work on properties such as Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, Superman, Batman, Justice Society of America, and most recently, the creator-owned hit series Geiger, currently being adapted for television at Paramount.

Since the beginning of his creative career, Johns' hallmark has been writing heroic and inclusive characters, including teenage hero Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl, inspired by his real-life late sister; the Shazam Family, which he re-imagined into a diverse modern family of today; and the first Arab-American Green Lantern, Simon Baz, as well as the explosive multi-colored Lantern mythology that defined his decade-long bestselling Green Lantern run, among many, many others.

Johns’ most recognized work in television is the critically acclaimed Stargirl series which he created and ran. Some of his film credits include Wonder Woman (executive producer), Wonder Woman 1984 (also co-writer), Aquaman (also story) and Shazam! (executive producer), based on his graphic novel with longtime collaborator and modern legendary artist Gary Frank.

In 2023, Johns co-founded Ghost Machine, the first-of-its-kind creator-owned company. This groundbreaking collective includes some of the industry’s most legendary writers and artists, disrupting the old industry model by giving ownership to its creators, and paving the way for them to retain creative control and financial participation.

Born in Detroit to a Lebanese father, Johns was honored with his own permanent section at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Darkseid war 2

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

It's not as strong as its first volume but it's still great and honestly it's good enough to not be a justice league story but a crisis event itself I mean it's a big story that they split it into two volumes and the epilogue of this leads right into dc rebirth so I would recommend buying that one as well. I highly recommend this one if your a fan of the league, of darkseid, and if you've read and love crisis on infinite earths then pick this up cause the anti-monitor is great in it as well.

Another great piece by Johns

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

For those who don't know: You need JL vol. 7 - Darkseid War part 1. Then read first two issues in vol. 8, and then read all of Justice League: Darkseid War - Power of the Gods, then continue this graphic from where you left off.

Catch all that? I didn't at first and once I read the first two comics/chapters of this graphic, Batman and Green Lantern begin a conversation in the next comic that directs readers back to Power of the Gods. I was lost and had to stop reading and bought Power of the Gods. It was worth it.

Great super hero super action story.

This is the 14th collected volume of DC’s New 52 comics I’ve read since The Flashpoint storyline. This is one of my favorites. Loved how Flashpoint changed the DC comics universe. Like how the Darkseid War is setting up new storylines for all members of the Justice League. This was a more focused story than Convergence and I liked it more. Great action and art.

A (mostly) satisfying conclusion to Johns' Justice League

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is the concluding chapter for Geoff Johns' time on the Justice League for the foreseeable future. As such, this review is going to be a bit longer, so bear with me. Throughout all the League's adventures, Darkseid has always been called back to in some way or another. Even if it was in a single panel, Darkseid's face was shown or his name was spoken, reminding the reader of his importance. Part One began Johns' final arc for the Justice League and, while perhaps not a great standalone, gave us the return of Darkseid, and his conflict with the Anti-Monitor. Part One set the expectations high, and as the penultimate chapter of Johns' JL, your expectations should be likewise highly set for Darkseid War Part Two.

Before I go any further, there are some minor spoilers, but nothing earth-shattering. The writing is solid. Not Johns' best work, but generally satisfying. However, certain plot points feel unnatural and unnecessarily ambiguous. The Justice League title has always been able to stand alone, and when certain characters are missing, it is usually referenced. The same goes for major plot points that occurred outside this title. This seems to have been completely disregarded in this book. There are several little character tweaks that seem strange when considering previous Justice League stories. For example, Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship was introduced in this title, by Johns. At the time, it was a pretty big deal. It was especially addressed in volumes three and four. In this story, Wonder Woman only says that she's not in love with Superman, and that they are only 'more than friends.' People who follow the WW/SM title probably won't be shocked, but I had no idea what the basis was for this shift in tone. Cyborg, likewise, received a new upgrade in his own title, and is shown here with his new digs. There is, however, not even a single line of dialogue recognizing this. He just goes form issue 1 having his 'classic' look to his new one. While it looks good, it's a bit off putting to see it unannounced. Aquaman's absence is still unexplained here. There are other cases, but those are some of the most noticeable.

As for the main course, the story itself is satisfactory. It stays pretty linear despite the wide breadth of characters (not an easy job) and the pacing is excellent most of the time. The dialogue is entertaining, and the story itself is genuinely engaging. The Anti-Monitor is written differently, and yet is a familiar foe. Older characters are brought back and given time to shine. It reads well, the issue is what was written, not how.

Similar to Forever Evil, the conclusion seems amazing at first, but upon 24 hours of giving it time to process, doesn't seem quite as epic. Like Forever Evil, a lot happens in the conclusion, but doesn't flow the most organically. It sometimes feels as if something happens because it needed to happen for the plot, not as 'natural' flow of the story. My final comparison to Forever Evil is that Darkseid War also ends with several cliffhangers. While it can be expected for a comic book collection to do so, it seemed a bit excessive. A few plot details from prior adventures Johns claimed would be revealed never are (i.e. why Batman was so easily able to connect to WW in FE with her lasso). There are some deaths, but they don't feel conclusive, merely teasers for future events. There is one particular event near the end with Batman that had the potential to be epic (even though it would be more limelight on Batman) but is awkwardly dropped with a sputter. Many New 52 titles ended with 52 issues, but JL did not. I feel like one of those issues would have been well suited here. With Rebirth getting as close to a clean start as you can without rebooting, I was hoping volume 8 would be more concluding than it is.

The art is amazing. Manapul starts the volume, and it is a refreshing change-up that looks neat and vibrant. Fabok's work is some of his best ever; he delivers in every panel of every page. His detail is meticulous and figures captivating. If the story doesn't do it for you, the art certainly will. It flows together so perfectly, and it is readily apparent that he gave it his all through the very end. He, likewise, is departing the Justice League title, and his legacy sets a precedent for the art readers deserve for the most prominent of DC's characters.

In the end, it was pretty close to what I wanted. There is a lot that happens in this story, and it has legitimate repercussions on several characters moving forward. I only wish that for every answer we get, three more questions didn't appear. If you were wondering it the Justice League supplementary JL Power of the Gods title is necessary, I can say it is not. I did not purchase it, and while certain characters change with little explanation, the stuff that matters is addressed here. Would it help? Sure, but it's not crucial. As this is the last of Johns' Justice League, it reflects both his strengths and weaknesses as a writer. He writes the characters well and crafts a neat story, but his incessant need to tease future plots can leave a story feeling unintentionally incomplete.
