But then again Johns ...Yeah, I can appreciate that. But then again Johns sometimes gave a nod to continuity, brief mentions of the Court of Owls and such, and Darkseid war was <em>such</em> a sweeping story and did in the end point a finger at so much Rebirth material that came next, I'm surprised there wasn't an effort to fit it in more with the events of the day. But also, totally within the book, that no one ever said "Hey Hal, you're back! Sorry that fight with Wonder Woman made you have to leave" seemed to me an omission, and also the absence of Aquaman in the book's final story.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-12720213813947209052017-08-07T21:39:15.576-05:002017-08-07T21:39:15.576-05:00It was always my impression that Justice League ex...It was always my impression that <i>Justice League</i> existed at a slightly different continuity than the rest of the New 52. Clearly it was a springboard (hello, <i>Superman/Wonder Woman</i>), but like his <i>Green Lantern</i>, Johns wasn't horribly concerned about adhering to what everyone else was doing. He's a guy who has earned playing by his own rules, after all.Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-76985629107687008312017-08-07T19:32:52.886-05:002017-08-07T19:32:52.886-05:00Glad you all enjoyed the reviews.

I'm surprised there's not more talk about this one given the very, very specific ties to Rebirth.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-41577191589337118532017-08-07T18:58:54.226-05:002017-08-07T18:58:54.226-05:00I was really let down by this second half of Darks...I was really let down by this second half of Darkseid War. It seemed that all the build-up from the first half just flamed out in the second, like Johns was sweeping everything aside to make room for Rebirth.HelloTherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602812462354227620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-88473515616294655662017-08-07T09:12:25.657-05:002017-08-07T09:12:25.657-05:00Great review have not read'ed this story arc y...Great review have not read'ed this story arc yet but picking up Justice League The Darkseid War Omnibus once it comes out in October !!!kenkraly2004https://www.blogger.com/profile/15149390094906905733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-3235922713762322522017-08-07T06:06:33.074-05:002017-08-07T06:06:33.074-05:00Loved Part 1, felt a bit let down by Part 2, but e...Loved Part 1, felt a bit let down by Part 2, but enjoyed Power of the Gods enough to warrant purchasing it after a library read (rare for me; Parts 1 and 2 were straight up purchases).
