This tale was terrible. TERRIBLE!
It is the worst example of fake maturity I have ever seen in a comic.
“You know what would be awesome? If we made this tale really violent to show how mature comics are.”
“Yeah! Let’s place lots of pointless torture in there!”
“Yes! Give me my pay-check please!”
There is absolutely NO POINT to this tale. It doesn’t have anything to say beyond ‘Wow! Comics are MATURE now!’
Do not read this!…unless you like reading terrible things in which case it’s kind of a fun laugh.

This is by far the best Justice League arc I have read. The artwork is lovely but it conveys a dark atmosphere to the whole tale line. The plot is very sinister. How they Heroes losses has awakened a desire for justice, an eye for an eye style!
This kept me glued to it until the very end, and the climax is very satisfying

From James Robinson (Starman, Superman), Justice League: Weep for Justice finds things turning dark, very dark. After the events of Final Crisis, supervillain Prometheus hatches a plot that could wipe out millions and even take out the JLA as well. Known as a “villain’s Batman”, and with no Martian Manhunter alive to keep his evil cunning mind in check, Prometheus’ cruelty knows no bounds. For Green Hurricane lantern Hal Jordan, he believes the JLA should be pre-emptive, now more than ever in a world lacking J’onn or Bruce Wayne, which leads him to organize his own group of heroes that get as down and dirty as the villains can be. Along with Green Arrow, Atom, Shazam, Supergirl, Starman, and Congorilla among others, taking out Prometheus proves to be a larger challenge than any of them thought, with a cavalcade of terrible things that soon follow. First thing you should know about Weep for Justice is that it is surprisingly unflinchingly violent and dark from its first chapter onward. Some horrible things take place here (especially to Red Arrow) that will place your jaw on the floor, so much so that you’ll either delight in Weep for Justice or outright despise it. Despite that though, the artwork by Mauro Cascioli is spectacularly rendered and is worth checking this out for alone. All in all, Justice League: Weep for Justice finds our heroes once again up against the darkness, and one way or the additional no matter how you may feel about this graphic novel, the end results aren’t pretty.

James Robinson, (who I already loved from Starman), made the single best Justice League tale I have read. Not only did he manage to use a ton of different JLAers, he gave them a fantastic villain to play against. People died, heroes were maimed, and it tested the might of all of DCs heroes. An brilliant book!

I can appreciate where the additional reviewers are coming from. All I want to do is give an alternative opinion lacking declaring anyone incorrect. Please take what I am adage as an attempt to give a different view on this comic.
When I read through this comic, it seemed incredibly violent for the sake of violence. The artist did everything he could to make each act of violence so horrific, it was pornographic. No, I don’t mean that in a sexual way. I mean, the violence was brutal for the sake of brutal, and the artist did everything in his power to drive the point of cruelty home just to shock the reader rather than to help contribute to the tale.
The tale itself upset me momentously. There has been a theme in DC Comics where everything has to be dark for the sake of being dark. There was no reason to make this comic so dark. I will not give any spoilers, but there were multiple instances of darkness that makes no sense in the DC universe (where magic and equipment are so common place, mind control and missing limbs should not be a problem anymore). But, the reader was expected to be shocked and reflect about the “reality” of what was going on and how nothing will ever be the same again, when in reality, things will be exactly the same again in a few years. All that’s left for the reader is a tale that would have been better served as an elseworlds book rather than in DC canon. All that’s left to marvel about is how the editors will sweep it under the rug (you know, like they did with Marvel Woman).
The additional part of the tale that upset me was how post Silver Age characters were treated. Prometheus was called a joke on many occasions. As was pointed out, he’s an incredibly treacherous man. But nope, he’s a joke rumor has it that. And his hiding place, which is only accessible through magical means, or very high equipment that the Justice League doesn’t have access to, can be reached by an archer that isn’t very technically minded. Yep. Makes no sense to me. But, that’s how the tale played out because it was convenient for it to take place. The treatment of the rest was equally insulting. Elevate the Silver Age and darken it up a bit to make it significant.
Bah! Enough of that for me!
But, you know…read it for yourself and make up your mind. The additional reviewers did and that’s fantastic! I did and that’s cool too.
What’s your take on this comic?
Violence for the sake of violence does not make a excellent tale. Realism for the sake of realism does not make a excellent tale. The DC universe can be shown as a realistic universe with the right tale.
