Justice League International #66 (Judgment Day, Part 6)


Justice League International (1987-1989, 1993-1994) #66


The Doomsday storyline ends with a death that I must say, saw coming from the start- and that’s not because I knew the character was dead from other sources.

This epic 6-issue crossover wasn’t bad. However, it’s not the best thing I’ve read or the best Justice League tale. It started off very confusing and full of poison with brother vs. brother. Then the storyline got cleaner but the art was absurd with tiny heads superimposed on way-too-muscular bodies.

This final chapter was very good and it was fitting. It began with the promise of change and in the end, that’s just what is going to happen. Task Force and JL America will continue on. But the days of JL International are numbered. I just wish the editor of these titles, a Mr. Rueben Diaz, was more upbeat and not a Joe Quesada-type who felt he was more important that the reader and the titles themselves. Hopefully, the future JL titles will have a more positive editor and slant.

Worth Consuming

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
