That’s what Justice League #9 is. But most importantly, amongst the multiverse dying and science rewriting itself, this issue was a breath of fresh air that somehow injects hope into the abyss. Issue #9 stands alone, as it’s placed between two major arcs, but that doesn’t mean that it’s just a throwaway. This might be my favorite issue of this run so far. Themes like healing and persistence are wonderfully explored in ways that will put a smile on your face. And if you’ve been wanting to spend some time with a particular character, then you’re gonna wanna read this. Everybody eats. We get closer to each of them in ways you may not have ever imagined: by seeing their rooms at the Hall of Justice. We get brief glimpses into the way each team member likes to live when they get a break, and it speaks volumes to who they are at their core. Jiminez really shines in this issue. From space parasites to piecing the moon back together, to the cafeteria at the Hall of Justice, there isn’t much left to the imagination. This issue teems with positivity and ambition, and out of the few artists that rotate this book, Jiminez is the perfect fit for tone that Snyder conveys.
