    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles

    Aug 30, 2026

    JLU 22 was a solid issue that nicely rebounded from last month’s less impactful installment. This felt like an issue that started the series on an interesting path that should lead to an exciting philosophical clash within the League. Read Full Review

    Fanlight Zone - Ken M.

    A question of checks and balances lead the JLU into troubling times as Despero strikes. Waid presents a compelling argument behind great action sequences. The art team shines when unlocking a colossal confrontation. No one ever said Amnesty came without a cost. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge

    Sep 23, 2026

    The JLU book hasn’t felt listless per se, but it hasn’t felt like it’s had a solid direction. We get teases of the larger Omega storyline from time to time, which keeps people reading, but it is admittedly mostly just a big action book. I always hope for a bit more from it in terms of character, but that’s hard to do when it’s a normal amount of members, never mind now. We do get some decent stuff from those without their own books, like Ray and Airwave, but it’s mostly focused on doing the big action things. The space-based storyline is probably the best way to do it, but I’m still just kind of side-eying the whole storing powers away thing that they’ve plugged for a bit. It all works at this point on the strength of the artwork, however, since seeing what Dan Mora can do with a juiced up Mr Terrific is admittedly exciting. Read Full Review

    Also want to point out this cover, while beautiful, has nothing to do with this story whatsoever. Read Full Review
