Finished reading Justice League: The Darksied War, this is the beginning of the end of DC comics' New 52 Justice League series as writer Geoff Johns begins the Darksied War storyline. The book opens up with the origin of new villain Grail, and the half Amazonian daughter of Darksied. With her birth happening on the other side of Paradise Island. The next part of the book follows the New God Metron around the multiverse breaking his vow of not interfering to tell the Anti-Monitor the his upcoming war against Darksied could have devastating consequences on the fabric of reality where it might not be able to come back from. The main story begins with Darksied's head assassin Kanto join by Lashina finding woman named Myrina Black and killing anyone with the name. The murders quickly gain the attention of the Justice League due to energy from a Mother Box being at each crime scene. Meanwhile on Apokolips Mister Miracle discovers that Darksied has been readying his army for another attack on Earth. But before Mister Miracle can warn the Justice League of any danger he finds himself face to face with the Myrina Black that Kano has been looking for which leaves Justice to face the threat of the Anti-Monitor and Grail on their own.
Overall this was a great book as writer Geoff John's lays out the ground work for an extremely interesting story that doesn't hold anything back when it gets going with the book ending on a cliffhanger that instantly leaves you asking for more. The use of Wonder Woman and Mister Miracle being the point of view characters of the book is great as it allows for Darksied's rule to be viewed by someone who has lived through it thanks to Mister Miracle's narration. While the main events taking place on Earth are shown for Wonder Woman's perspective which works extremely well in the book as it helps to show how the events effect the character which also giving more insight to Winder character and history as well. Artist Jason Fabok artwork is in the book is amazing as it does a great job in showing the scale of the fight scenes between Darksied and the Anti-Monitor along with the amount of the details show within the location and settings in the book. While the artwork use in the Metron story work extremely well as the changing art styles for different scenes works well for this story as each style working well for each universe that Metron visits. 8.5/10.
