Really enjoyed Part 1 and even the start of this was good. But the ending was extremely ridiculous.

This was very uneven but as much big action cinematic fun as one can get. Johns signs off in style as the DC Universe preps itself for something big, Rebirth. The action is non-stop and the developments are earth shaking even as the DC Universe is set to be rebooted.

Johns has never been shy of putting the DC trinity through some paradigm shifting events and he does more than justify why. Each of the 3 has moments that causes them to question whats happening and it helps that for once, we have a different point of view. Wonder Woman acts as the narrator and the audience's eye for the action that unfolds and comes out looking stronger.

In typical Johns style, he has never been shy of wanting Batman to take up the green lantern ring and yet again foists the ring on Batman. Similarly, he makes Lex Luthor into something more than what he was before.

Fabok's artwork is stunning and the characters leap off the page, marking yet another successful creator-artist combo for Johns. (Boy, is he lucky or what in that regards)

What will be interesting is to see how this leads into Rebirth and the repercussions for DC Universe post the events of the Darkseid War
