gothamshire's review against another edition

I was kind of trudging through this series for a while, but this volume was SO much better than the last ones. It has Jessica Cruz reaching full badass potential, the introduction of two great new characters, and perhaps best of all Blackfire ("her maj") and Dex-Star. They are my new favorite duo. Kori was missed, but these issues made me want big sis in more things for the first time ever.

I think a lot of people are missing that the whole point of this run is it's not about the Big Three, and at its heart it's not really about time travel or Apocalypse. Personally I love the way relationships developed in this story, especially between Jess and Vic but really between Jess and the universe as a whole. She went from unsure of herself dork to badass leader (but still a dork) and I love these last two volumes so much for that. Also, Dex-Starr forever & ever.

I somehow managed to not get spoiled about what happens to Jessica at the beginning of this book before reading it , so I thought she was dead (which is partially why I am only reading this now).
I don't really know what to say, it's really the part of the story where "they gather their forces after the first arc to really do their bestest in the third one", so it's not the most eventful, but not everything needs to be.
It's really weird to get used to this omega-charged Jessica, especially when she is the only familiar character left. Although I wouldn't call it mis-characterization like I've seen in other reviews. To me, her being fearless and that confident came from the omega charge, but that's my interpretation.

Trying to gather my thoughts about this book and about the series.
Not sure why some readers expected this book to change the status quo of the whole multiverse, of course the team was going to "succeed with an asterisk" to not have everything rewritten.
It would have been a good story to develop for another big-scale reboot, I think. Without the usual Justice League line-up, and after their own mistake(s).
Something I appreciate is that it wasn't a "one book, one story" thing. This is part of a bigger conversation, but I don't think having more readers for collected editions should mean that every storyline should fit in one book.
Anyway, I liked the team from the beginning of the series, I liked the team from the middle of the series, and this could have lasted longer, with another mission in space for them. Maybe more exploration of the characters and their sometimes new relationships, because I have to admit I would have liked more of this, even though the situation made it understandable that there was no time for this (ironically).

Justice League Odyssey: Final Frontier, is by far the best in the trilogy. Sadly, though, this is not much of a distinction as the series consistently fails to deliver and this final volume is only mediocre.
Throughout the first two books of the series there is little character development and the Jessica Cruz character is generally neglected. This changes somewhat in the final volume. GL Cruz takes center stage and begins to drive the narrative. Unfortunately, it just seems like too little to late. Although, there are some clever plot twists and the addition of new more interesting characters the narrative still seems uneven and disjointed. It is also clear that the overall story is missing elements that must have been covered under a different title. As such, the ending of the book seems incomplete.
