Here's how YOU can support it!.I’m going to stick with this book to see where it goes, but I really hope the next few issues improve. There’s nothing here that I really dislike, but nothing to really keep my interest either. Justice League Odyssey #2 is an ok comic. There are also several drawings of Starfire in particular that look really off compared to the rest of the issue. There are rarely any backgrounds in these panels, which is one of my favorite parts of traveling to alien planets. The art is overall good, but it definitely feels rushed. Unfortunately, Sejic is playing catch up from the delays, and it really shows here. Let me get this out of the way, Stjepan Sejic is one of my favorite artists, period. Although this issue is full of exposition, I think it’s necessary to get us somewhere interesting. This issue is mostly split between a mediocre fight with Darkseid and a conversation with a Starfire-worshiping priest. The premise is fine, but it doesn’t feel like anything special. These three may somehow be Old Gods themselves. It turns out that these planets worship Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael. After the events of No Justice, the Justice League released a multitude of planets from Colu into the Ghost Sector. The plot in this issue is nothing to write home about either. I don’t think this Darkseid is offensively bad, but he’s definitely a letdown. Even though Darkseid claims to be on the League’s side, I feel his presence should cause more tension. Simply put, this Darkseid talks too much. I think Williamson writes a really lackluster Lord of Apokolips. No one is as soul-crushingly evil as Darkseid is. I have really high exceptions for Darkseid, as he’s one of my favorite villains. Out of all the characters in this issue, I think the most disappointing is Darkseid. Williamson’s dialogue is usually clunky for me, and here is no exception. I think the characters all suffer from Williamson’s absurd exposition. ![]() Jean-Paul got along fine with others in Tynion’s Detective Comics, so it’s strange to see him act brashly in this issue. Azrael feels a little too confrontational in this issue. Although, this is an issue I always had with Cyborg. Cyborg is fine in this issue, but I feel like he doesn’t really have a clear personality. However, Cyborg and Azrael feel a bit off to me. I think Williamson understands Jessica’s character, and that really shows. Jessica Cruz is a highlight in this series. While Williamson captures the voice for some of these characters, others fall by the wayside. ![]() I’m not the biggest Joshua Williamson fan, so I was skeptical of this book going in. So the main draw to the book for me was the characters. So is this book worth the wait? Or is this title going to end up lost in the Ghost Sector? However, I feel like the delays really killed my hype for this book. Sejic’s art, space exploration, and the fact that this will soon be the only book on the stands with Jessica Cruz in it all contributed to my excitement for this book. The unique cast was just one of the many things that excited me about this book. ![]() I never would have of imagined Cyborg, Starfire, Jessica Cruz, Azrael, and Darkseid would team up anytime in my life. This has to be one of the strangest ideas ever created for a Justice League book. Justice League Odyssey #2 DC Comics Writer: Joshua Williamson Artist: Stjepan Sejic
