To begin with, Justice League: The Darkseid War consumed DC comic titles for over one year, I believe. Not sure how many issues total but they fit nicely into one download on Kindle. I eagerly and enthusiastically read these volumes in an evening/into early morning Labor Day. Enjoyed it immensely!
To expand on my experience, the story is deliberate in its delivery and paced very well. There are more than a few twists and turns I did not expect. The art is professional but personable. Additionally the story is drawn, in my opinion, vivid and crisp. Generally the color tones fluctuate nicely in accordance with the thematic needs of the story.
Finally, upon completion I found an enthralling tale and could not imagine having to read it one at a time, comic by comic or couple or a few per week for over a year’s time.
Something else I realized after my initial reading:
There is not very much humor at all, in these volumes. It actually impressed upon me the severity of the matters at hand throughout the books.
So, five stars for character diversity and cohesion, excellent graphical and excellent /art plus epic story with feels, shocks, twists and turns, great flow or pacing and it’s all practically priced under $5 (at time of this writing). Enjoy!
