Instead, it’s quiet, as the realisation sets in around the other members. When something awful happens to a character, it isn’t as cacophonous as what the rest of the scene entails. And there is also shock that sets in, which is a sensation that is difficult to get across in this format, yet the writer accomplishes this incredibly. Heroes like Cyborg and Batman are known for their unwavering confidence in their ability, but here they doubt themselves. Through his dialogue, aspects of these characters’ personalities that are very rarely seen are revealed. But when Superman flies to help those in need, there is a lifting sensation of reunification, as if that spirit returned for a moment.Ĭhip Zdarsky’s exploration of these characters is made even more heartbreaking due to just how perfect his emotional development is. As the destination is known to the readers as possibly the most dangerous planet in fiction, the danger is oncoming and it’s only a matter of time. Instead of a non-stop, unrelenting action sequence, this half of the issue has dread dripping from it. The tone and pacing are different, as the damage has already been done to the team. The other half of the comic is the journey to Apokolips.
This truly is the Justice League’s worst day, and it feels as such. Almost every word balloon contains an emotional gut-punch, and there are surprises on each page. This is chaotic and fast-paced, an intentional move from the writer. As the League is put through this ordeal, the locations jump around, from cities to continents to different worlds. This may be one of the most engaging battles within DC Comics history. The pace and intensity of this first half is a shock to the system and instantly gripping. Justice League: Last Ride #2 opens with the fight that had only been hinted at last chapter. The plot and structure are fantastic perhaps even greater than the first issue. But when Superman hears a distress call, he is morally obligated to help. Trying to stay undetected, the team is flying near black holes and away from prying planets. The current league travels through space to their destination. As their options run out, the fates of many heroes become clear. Sent into battle against one of their most powerful foes, the League was utterly overpowered and outnumbered. Within this issue, some of the backgrounds of the disaster are revealed. Batman can only think of one place to take their captive: Apokolips. Batman and the Justice League are the only people they trust to pull this off.
