Bendis' Justice League run is finished. Your evaluation?
"Never assign to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity or ignorance."
"Great stories will always return to their original forms"
"Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable." James Baldwin

Probably one of the biggest wastes of time that I've seen in recent years.
And considering this is the Justice League we're talking about and considering that we also got Scott Snyder's Pointless League in recent years, that's unnacceptable.

Started strong, ended middle of the road to bad. Too much focus on checkmate for too long. Too many continuity inconsistencies (it's Bendis).
And honestly, when the Royal Flush Gang shows up, we know the run is gone.ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.
To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!

Completely forgettable, underwhelming and useless run. It was really easy to forget that this series existed, lol.
It doesn't even seem like Bendis himself was interested in writing it.

JL should have folded when Scott left. It lacked a real voice and a reason to exist, and Bendis didn't lend either to it.

Pretty terrible. Stories constantly taken over by his side projects.
And of course memorable moments like the League discussing how they should rebuild the Hall of Justice in a new important way for an entire issue only for Superman and the Flash to rebuild it exactly the way it was at the end.

Batman praised Naomi, and mentioned it had only been her first week! The entire run is set over no more than seven days! Does that even fit, continuity wise?

Well, the title of the thread gave me the best news I've had in quite some time. Does that answer your question?
Peace

I had such high hopes for it when it started out but I voted for Intrascendent, nobody will remember it in two years. I was really happy that he brought back Black Canary and Green Arrow and was also excited about the additions of Black Adam and Hippolyta but in the end, Hippolyta did little more than stand around and pose. The art was all over the place which didn't help. Naomi was clearly a pet character that didn't really add anything of value to the League. I liked her better on Young Justice.

Pretty much all of Bendis' DC work other than his Batman story were pretty much garbage.

It was kind of nothing. It seemed that the only thing it did was set up Adam as a hero

It's crazy to think the writer who single-handedly revitalized the Avengers wrote this run on the Justice League.
You can tell that Bendis is just not good at writing a team that is mythic; but you give him a street level threat it's gangbusters.
This was really disappointing, especially since I know the heights Bendis can reach.
