Oh sweet! I was wondering how I would be able to read Trinity Wars again without getting the actual book! Thanks DC!!!

(B) 74% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Decently done, it’s doomed by design flaws: an editorial own-goal, punting practicality and faceplanting at its finish.

4 Stars! This book took me awhile to finish, but I was hoping to get it done a long time ago, but it that did not happen. It wasn't because I didn't like the book it was I just got busy. I was recommend this book and I thought I would give it a try and it was really good. I liked everything about it. I was read this book again. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Justice League, Volume 4: The Grid has got to be the most schizophrenic New 52 book I’ve read so far! What stories do we have here? There are “tryouts” for new Justice League members; Despero and J’onn J’onzz fight in the Watchtower, crashing it to Earth; there’s the last issue in the Shazam mini-series; and the volume closes out with the first and LAST parts of Trinity War!!! Oh… dear. Where to start… Actually, the tryout issue wasn’t bad. I’m guessing the JL are looking for more members after

3.5 stars This waffled between 3 and 4 stars for me, so I'm splitting the difference.There seemed to be a lot of randomness to The Grid. Turns out, most of it gets tied together at the end, but the way it was done took away some of the reading enjoyment for me. In other words, the story was good, but I didn't care for the way it was executed.Does that make sense?It started out with the Justice League recruiting a few new members, with only Firestorm, Atom, and Element Girl making the cut...or be...

This collection should really have just been collected with the Trinity War collection or the volume before this one. The Trinity War issues (half the book) make no sense without the other issues of the crossover.

This was a pretty good volume.It starts with Atom, Firestorm and Element woman, the new recruits talking about the league and then they are attacked by Despero and we see the battle that happened with Martian Manhunter and his re-coming and we see hints of big things going on and the new recruits and their dynamics and all and the nod to 5-year events that happened in this book!But what was awesome was seeing how they deal with the trinity war event like we see what Superman does and the fallout...

3.5 stars for what would have been 4 because Of the crappy way DC collected this story. you need to have JLD at least to get the full story. otherwise i liked the story a lot.*edit*Just read the last few chapters in sequential order with the rest of the Trinity War. Now that things make sense, changing the rating from 3 to 4.

The title finally shows that has teeth and knows how to bite. I got this on single comic book issues but I prefer to make my review on the TPB option to be able to do a better overall review of the whole storyline.Creative Team:Writer: Geoff JohnsIllustrators: Ivan Reis, Gene Ha, Jesús Saiz, Joe Prado & Andres Guinaldo.While the TPB is titled The Grid, hardly is what covers the most of the publication. This TPB is made of several stories, starting with: THE GRID Which is the Justice League

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.It’s easy to say that the Justice League is there to save the world from any form of cosmic crisis but what happens when there isn’t just one team of heroes who are ready to put their lives on the line? It can only get worse if you also consider politics in there with questions around territorial jurisdiction. Mix in a mysterious and villainous entity looking to take control of the whole world, you have a recipe for disaster. As the New 52 Justi...

Yup. This book shouldn't exist. There should just be Justice League: Trinity War. As I read the collected volumes instead of grabbing each issue as it comes out, each collection should be a story arc, more or less. This starts with some JL recruiting, and then fragments of the Trinity War. I've read JLD, I've read some Trinity of Sin. I even read the Constantine issue tie-in, so I had a general idea of what was going on, but anyone picking this up new would have no idea what was going on. I tend...

I wasn't a big fan of the Despero storyline, but then I've never been a fan of that particular villain; also, his is somewhat of an inconsequential storyline. Truly, that storyline is just a springboard for other storylines: the addition of Element Girl, Firestorm and Atom to the JL team; the upcoming Trinity War; Batman's plan b's for his team mates; and the whole JLA spying on the JL thing. There is a lot going on in the background of this collection, so I would say it is essential reading, bu...

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths Reviews The New 52 Justice League Volume 4: The Grid is a story where Geoff Johns does his best magician impression and creates a tour de force of comic storytelling.The Grid sequence collects Justice League #18-23, and it starts out as your ho-hum “We have to add some more heroes to the team” sort of story before picking up speed when one of the prospective JL members shows herself to be less than mentally stable and tries to destroy the Watchtower. Naturally,...

So this volume had two arcs that weren't quite well connected. The Despero/Stealing Batman's kryptonite ring and the Trinity War arc had some moments that made you think "ahhhh so that's why this thing happened!" but over than that they were two different stories. I was in the middle of volume 4 when I realized that I needed to read Trinity War. Then when finished Trinity War I realized that half the story in it was the same one on the second half of volume 4 #Success (?)

Really disappointed with the second half ONLY because I read Trinity War before reading this. It's the same thing as Trinity War but abridged to make it much shorter and it makes much less sense than it does in Trinity War. I probably only digested it all because I already knew the story. The first half was alright. The first few issues were pretty good, but I would ditch the second half in favor of reading all of Trinity War.

Ok. I like that the Justice League is expanding and they are adding more secondary characters. That was nice. I also like that other character from books in the new 52 came into this story primarily Pandora, but also one of my new favorites, Madame Xanadu. She is wonderful. I thought the bad villain at the end was not ok. It is entertaining somewhat. I feel like there is too much power on the good side to be that overwhelmed, but whatever. They have to build tension. There was a surprise at the

An easier read than previous volumes - almost like Johns took the night off from over-scripting crap he wished he'd read as a kid and just got into a pretty simple tale of a villain, a MacGuffin and some struggles to solve the problem. (At least where the three-part "Grid" storyline was mostly concerned.)Then the whole Trinity War clusterfuck comes crashing into the book like some stoned horny bull in the middle of a peaceful field of cows, just busting randomly on whatever's nearest for no disc...

This volume is a big con. It's got Despero on the front, so I was expecting some epic battle. He's in it for like 5 pages. What a con!This is mainly about the bloody trinity tie in. Waste of reading. Rubbish.

It's been a little while since I read the third volume, but I didn't find it difficult to get back into the story. I liked seeing some characters added to the team, and seeing how they dealt with the transition. I have previously read the Shazam! volume, so his inclusion in this didn't throw me off. I do recommend reading that one if you want to understand why he's even in this volume though. Aside from them, I liked seeing Pandora. I'm not hugely experienced with a lot of the smaller DC charact...

Things heat up for the Justice League, issue after issue. (Unfortunately, some of those issues have been tucked away into other collections, since this set of issues intersects with Trinity War and Justice League Dark and the Trinity of Sin Pandora collection and Justice League of America, and the TOS Phantom Stranger collection, so there are some missing links here.)
