The Wonders of the world are finally united against a common threat, Steppenwolf and his Furies but not even their conbined forces are able to stop the Apokolips' Terrors and at the end Steppenwolf declares himself victorious. It doesn't last since Brutaal reveals his true identity and decides to take over the world in Darkseid's name.
Well, this was a pretty satisfactory final for what it was an interesting run. James Robinson implements a lot of action of this issue and it truly feels like an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, it may sound like a cliche but it's a well executed one and the surprise at the final pages is truly shocking and will certainly prove to be an intriguing new status quo for writer Toma Taylor when his run starts on the next issue.
So what can I say about Robinson's run? It had its ups and downs, the initial arc was quite strong as well as the one-and-done issues but some of the arcs like the Tower of Fate were long and tedious. A common and major complaint is Robinson's narration and it's certainly flawed but at times at think it fitted the atmosphere he was trying to create. Overall, I would say his run is definitely worth reading if only for the excellent worldbuilding.
Nicola Scott really knows how to sell this battle, the action scenes looks fantastic and I'm happy to say that she's constantly improving her talents. Good to know that she's staying for future issues.
Anyway, definitely good ending. Let's see if Taylor can improve some aspects that didn't work on the past.
