Devil Comics Review | Justice League: Darkseid War Special #1 [2016]


Hype
The special is a one shot from the main Justice League series as it explores the intentions of Darkseid’s daughter Grail. However the one shot opens and closes with Power Ring Jessica Cruz before diving into the origins of Grail and her mother.

Rehash
Grail was born at the same time as Wonder Woman and she manifested her powers when she was young and showed no mercy. She uses Steve Trevor as a weapon during the Darkseid War.

Feedback
Overall the Darkseid War Special seems pointless and it could have been told in the main series. The Darkseid War has been going on for almost a year and keeping readers engaged for that long in the digital age will lead to less engagement from the readers. Now that Rebirth is all the attention now. The consequences of the Darkseid War will be told in DC Universe Rebirth in May.

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT – 3 OUT OF 5
