The final battle between the team and Perpetua is coming to an end at last but the resolution might not be what everyone expected.
This was pretty much admitting defeat in every sense of the phrase.
Scott Snyder finally, and I mean FINALLY, concludes his run and does it in a way that is unexpected and yet underwhelming at the same time. It turns out that the Justice League asked for help of the people of Earth and... they actually lost. People decided to not help them and thus Perpetua ended-up winning and the team ended in some sort of limbo where they have to witness how stories that are going around right now outside of this book don't work with their reality.
And there are many things to take from this "finale". My personal interpretation is that Snyder himself realizes that his Justice League run was not as good as he wanted and thus the people of Earth (AKA readers) rejected it and he's forced to see how his vision doesn't work with the new direction that DC is creating. This actually makes me see Snyder as more self-aware than I ever expected.
That being said, I wish things were that way but I doubt so and even if that was the case, this doesn't stop this from being a completely unsatisfying resolution because you immediately realize that this overly-long story was worth nothing since Perpetua won anyway thus making the efforts of the team useless and showing how annoyingly OP Perpetua is.
Jorge Jimenez and Daniel Sampere share the pencils and their work is solid for the most part but at this point I think they deserved better.
And that's how I would call this title: It deserved better. It deserved better than Snyder's worthless run, a run that derailed many other books with stupid events and accomplished nothing as a whole. I'm not expecting much from Robert Venditti's upcoming work on Justice League but at the very least I know that he won't create a forced direction for other series.
