Lost within the dystopian future of the Sixth Dimension, the heroes find themselves saved by none other than the Legion of Doom. Again, the combination of Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez continue to produce the premiere team book currently on the market. From the sheer beautiful artwork to the engaging and entertaining scripts, this series has it all. This penultimate issue sets the stage for the showdown between the League and their Sixth Dimension counterparts.
After narrowly escaping their captors in the previous issue, the League finds themselves aboard the Legion of Doom’s spaceship as they fill the heroes in on the details of this new timeline.

The master class artwork of Jorge Jimenez continues to set the bar even higher than he had done previously. Every page is layered with intricate details and sheer kinetic energy. Never a slouch when it comes to his art, Jimenez brings vibrancy and excitement unmatched in today’s market. From the heartwarming flashbacks with Superman and Jon back on the farm to an all-out battle in space, Jimenez continues to display nothing but perfection on the page. Alejandro Sanchez adds the high glass and beautiful saturated colors to bring the overall vibrancy and a more classic look to the incredibly dynamic pencils.
Producing his best work to date, Scott Snyder has indeed found his home within the Hall of Justice. Snyder continues to supplant his new ideas firmly into the DCU as a whole while still paying close attention to the previously established continuity. With each new issue, Snyder displays his growth as a writer and his ability to truly collaborate with each respective artist.
