"The future...like so much else...is open to interpretation"

The Justice League are retired, living normal lives out of the spotlight. However, they are thrust back into their former lives as they make a final stand to save the planet they used to diligently protect


Wow. This is comicbook storytelling at its finest. The writing is superb and the art is absolutely immaculate, emulating that of a beautifully crafted painting in every panel. There is a strong focus on morality and moral conflict between characters who were once aligned, as well as you as a reader as you progress through the story. It's a journey about acceptance, heroism and righteousness which isn't afraid to delve into social commentary that still rings true to this day.

BONUS:

Noteworthy things:
↳ Superman with a rat tail, sorry, ponytail, is something I didn't know I needed to see in my life
↳ In the one year later part, there is a waiter dressed as Superman who looks strikingly like Brandon Routh so, I guess that was meant to be
↳ The moment where Kal puts the glasses back on and accepts being Clark again is *chefs kiss*
↳ Never really been a big fan of Clark and Diana, but here we are I guess
