Justice League Odyssey is not an enjoyable book and is entirely skippable in the grand scheme of the DC Universe.
But I feel like you, dear reader, deserve MY truth. His death is the key to all, and despite losing his conveyance, Metron will bear witness to the end of the age of the New Gods. It’s a writer I typically enjoy writing characters I have grown to love over the years, and in some cases decades. Unexpectedly, Omega Beams destroy the Mobius chair, and he warns that he wants war with Darkseid. I wish I felt differently about this one. I don’t enjoy slamming a book as some reviewers do. That never felt like Jessica Cruz to begin with, so why should I worry? Even the surprise ending in which Darkseid slays a Power-Ring-drained Jessica Cruz, there is no sense of despair or mourning. These characters, manipulated by both plot and writer, feel hollow. Victor is so removed from humanity he may as well be Robot. Starfire lacks the emotional punch she was imbued with in the Wolfman-era.
Azrael is stripped clean of his zealotry. Even a callback to Jessica Cruz’s crippling anxiety that left her isolated to her home rings hollow in the face of her being written with absolutely zero anxiety. Jessica may be relatively new to being a Green Lantern, but shes tackled some heavy stuff in that time, even being on several Justice League teams very early on in her career. Omega Effect: After being killed by Darkseids Omega Beams, Jessicas body became saturated with. Part of this feeling of apathy stems from, in my opinion, the gross mischaraterization of nearly every character involved. The return of a major villain like Darkseid should have me excitedly turning pages but instead it feels begrudging month after month.

Even in this issue, in which things actually did happen– Starfire and Azrael take their places alongside Cyborg as Darkseid’s New Gods– there is still the feeling of this series being an inevitable placeholder for something more… important. Unfortunately, the book continues to falter in terms of writing.

From galactic spreads to cult armies and “para-angels”, Conrad spares no expense in bringing this book to life. Jessica Cruz is a powerful Green Lantern ruled by anxiety and fear, but when she temporarily becomes a Yellow Lantern, her full potential is reached. Another month and another issue of Justice League Odyssey. As usually, this book is visually stunning as Conrad continues to turn in exceptional work month after month.
