I really enjoyed this, the only thing that kept it from a perfect score is that it felt a little scattered。 But a very fascinating story, spycraft tangled with super-heroes。

Was surprised that I liked this as much as I did, but then again the art is by Alex Maleev!

Jeremy Warnack

Not a bad story, and I actually enjoy when they bring back these forgotten characters。 I didn’t care a lot for the cliff hanger though, but I think the story is good enough to try and find out what happens next in the Action Comics anyways。 Maybe it’ll get better? haha

Event Leviathan is the epitome of Brian Michael Bendis writing: characters have a witty, intense conversation about important events happening elsewhere。 Over the course of the book, Leviathan is revealed, so don't worry about that。 But he's not actually revealed, as in the characters make a dramatic discovery about his identity and then go battle。 Instead, they just。。。discuss。Bendis writes great dialogue, so Event Leviathan isn't an entirely bad book。 It's just rather dull and convoluted。 Essen Event Leviathan is the epitome of Brian Michael Bendis writing: characters have a witty, intense conversation about important events happening elsewhere。 Over the course of the book, Leviathan is revealed, so don't worry about that。 But he's not actually revealed, as in the characters make a dramatic discovery about his identity and then go battle。 Instead, they just。。。discuss。Bendis writes great dialogue, so Event Leviathan isn't an entirely bad book。 It's just rather dull and convoluted。 Essentially, Leviathan wants to remake the world's spy agencies and their tech into a world-controlling apparatus。 It's a fine idea for a plot, but that previous sentence's plot explanation is expanded over nearly 200 pages。 Event Leviathan could have been a lot tighter if it focused less on "who is Leviathan" and more "how are we gonna defeat this guy/gal?" (view spoiler)[Based on the ending, it seems like the whole deal was just a lengthy introduction for a new super-villain who will just now, at the end of the series, start performing super-villainry。 So, not exactly an open-and-shut series here。 (hide spoiler)]Alex Maleev's artwork is decent and nicely consistent for an event series。 Backgrounds and effects get washed out, but the DC heroes look good。 Leviathan and his coworkers have excellent sci-fi costumes straight out of Mass Effect。 。。。more

I didn't initially enjoy the Artwork as it didn't have the pop that seems to speak to me。 However, it quickly grew on me and by the end, I began to appreciate the attention to detail and tone。This was obviously some villain building, so although there was a lot of investigating, the dialog kept me engaged and I enjoyed the whole lead-up to "Who is Leviathan?"。Lots of jumping around between different characters with quick banter that can begin to wear on you。 However, understanding the backstory I didn't initially enjoy the Artwork as it didn't have the pop that seems to speak to me。 However, it quickly grew on me and by the end, I began to appreciate the attention to detail and tone。This was obviously some villain building, so although there was a lot of investigating, the dialog kept me engaged and I enjoyed the whole lead-up to "Who is Leviathan?"。Lots of jumping around between different characters with quick banter that can begin to wear on you。 However, understanding the backstory to some of the characters definitely helps in this regard。 There are a couple of them I knew nothing about, one of them being this elastic dude who I found really annoying。 Apparently, he's a good detective although his role focused mainly on making silly comments。 Anyway, I'm sure we'll see more of Leviathan coming up as he's got a world to change! 。。。more

A narrativa desse evento é lenta e confusa demais, o que só piora com a história que pouco evolui ou se encaminha pra alguma revelação。 O lance dos personagens duvidarem de si mesmo e correrem atrás do próprio rabo é estúpido e forçado, ainda mais visto o escopo dos detetives selecionados。Resultado: mirou num thriller, acertou em personagens burros se perguntando a mesma coisa por 6 edições。A arte é muito bonita e realmente embeleza a narrativa de um jeito legal。

Find out in: Event Leviapants! I’ve read enough of Bendis’ DC stuff at this point not to have high expectations for any of it and, yeah, unfortunately Event Leviathan is another boring Bendis book。 I think after this many strikeouts DC needs to send him back to Marvel! Event Leviathan is a follow-up to the storyline Bendis started in Superman: Action Comics, Vol 2: Leviathan Rising so it’s probably best to read that before this - to see all these spy agencies get taken out, why Lois’ dad/Amanda Waller are in the positions they are, and so on, but I guess you don’t HAVE to given the extensive exposition provided here。 The book opens on the bumper Superman: Leviathan Rising Special which I’ve reviewed separately here so I won’t go into it any more in this review - suffice it to say it still holds up and is the highlight of this volume。 Then we’re into the unremarkable whodunit/chase plot that comprises the main story。 Batman, Lois Lane, and a whole buncha masks’n’capes run around while Leviathan pops up here and there to taunt them/blow up some more stuff。 It’s really… dull。 Not to mention astoopid! Why bother setting up people like Steve Trevor and Red Hood as patsies when everyone knows Leviathan’s behind it all? Why does Steve shoot Lois? Why does Jason Todd run when he’s innocent and could just tell Batman and the mob that rather than run/have an elaborate fight? Why doesn’t Superman just use his superspeed to whip off Leviathan’s mask when he meets him? Because superhero comics tropes。 Le sigh。 This one’s a long way from Bendis’ better writing efforts。 I kinda liked Leviathan - not for his insane method of achieving his goals but for wanting to change the world and being proactive about it。 He’s a bit like Kylo Ren in The Last Jedi in wanting to destroy/remake the corrupted power structures and going about it in a violent fashion。 And Alex Maleev’s insectoid character design was cool - referencing Star Wars for the last time, he looked a bit like one of Palpy’s Red Guards。 Who he turns out to be though is underwhelming - nobody was ever going to guess who it was, which makes the whodunit element redundant。 It also felt artlessly contrived of Bendis to insert another obscure character into this story - who, as far as I know, doesn’t appear in any other recent DC book - when her inclusion has everything to do with Leviathan’s identity。 The ending, like the rest of the book, is unexciting and flat, leaving zero impression behind。 I guess Leviathan was thwarted this time - or something? Eh, I didn’t care anyway。 Bendis’ Marvel event books were almost always messes and his Event Leviathan for DC turned out to be no different。 。。。more

Kind of a strange story (did I imagine the part where Jimmy Olsen got married to a time traveler?), though once it got rolling, it wasn't so bad。 I do hate the 2-page splash panels where you can't follow the conversation--this was a hallmark of Bendis' work at Marvel, too。 The artwork by Maleev is good throughout, but as others have said, the execution of this whole thing was a bit lackluster and the secret identity of Leviathan was a big "Who?"

Between this and Heroes In Crisis, this was not a great weekend of DC reading for me。 These "events" just aren't living up to the hype, even less so than in the past。So we spend the entire series waiting for the big reveal of Leviathan and it's。。。someone almost nobody remembers。 I have a decent knowledge of the DCU, at least that of the average comic fan, and this was just lost on me。 This character just takes out every intelligence organization in the DCU with a snap of his fingers, and then th Between this and Heroes In Crisis, this was not a great weekend of DC reading for me。 These "events" just aren't living up to the hype, even less so than in the past。So we spend the entire series waiting for the big reveal of Leviathan and it's。。。someone almost nobody remembers。 I have a decent knowledge of the DCU, at least that of the average comic fan, and this was just lost on me。 This character just takes out every intelligence organization in the DCU with a snap of his fingers, and then the rest of the story is spent trying to figure out who he is。 Then, we find out who he is and its like。。。uh, what?I did like the art, but that wasn't enough to save it。 The execution wasn't terrible, which kept my rating above two stars, but the ending was just too flat。 Did ANYONE guess who Leviathan was before the final issue?

A great way of bringing a classic whodunnit mixed with a spy thriller kind of setting into the DC Universe。 Seeing heroes like Batman, Green Arrow and the Question working together as some of the best thinkers and investigators in the DC Universe as this new threat of Leviathan rises to face the might of Superman and other heroes is a comic book fan’s dream, and the impact of some of DC’s biggest organizations, from the DEO to Checkmate and even Amanda Waller herself being targeted by Leviathan A great way of bringing a classic whodunnit mixed with a spy thriller kind of setting into the DC Universe。 Seeing heroes like Batman, Green Arrow and the Question working together as some of the best thinkers and investigators in the DC Universe as this new threat of Leviathan rises to face the might of Superman and other heroes is a comic book fan’s dream, and the impact of some of DC’s biggest organizations, from the DEO to Checkmate and even Amanda Waller herself being targeted by Leviathan makes this a truly shocking story。 With great twists and turns, including the identity of Leviathan’s leader, and grim and gritty artwork make this a fantastic addition to the Year of the Villain storytelling。 。。。more

Lackluster。

Alek Hill

Well this was definitely interesting but still a predictable story。 And I don't mean predictable as in I saw the ending reveal coming。 No, it's just that like every comic event "who dunit" Hush, Identity Crisis, Batman Eternal。 There was less detective work and more follow the leader repeating the same question kind of thing。 Every issue had the same format it felt like。 They approach and question someone about "who is Leviathan", who they think is Leviathan。 That person feels cornered or thinks Well this was definitely interesting but still a predictable story。 And I don't mean predictable as in I saw the ending reveal coming。 No, it's just that like every comic event "who dunit" Hush, Identity Crisis, Batman Eternal。 There was less detective work and more follow the leader repeating the same question kind of thing。 Every issue had the same format it felt like。 They approach and question someone about "who is Leviathan", who they think is Leviathan。 That person feels cornered or thinks one of them is Leviathan and so they attack。 There's never any real definitive evidence or clue's that we the audience get to see。 Just a lot of "snarky" dialogue as the worlds greatest detectives try and figure out who is and isn't a suspect。 Despite all that it was still a good read。 But the ending reveal shot itself in the foot。 First I don't get the Manhunter angle。 My knowledge of the Manhunter continuity is that they're the "android" precursors to the Green Lantern Corps。 So the fact that we're getting a human Manhunter was confusing。 Second, why did Sam Lane get old all of a sudden?!! He was a spry salt and peppered general just two Volumes ago, and now all of a sudden he's this bloated white haired old man?! I had assumed it was a fact out to reveal that he was Leviathan。 I mean right before all of this he found out Superman was his son-in-law。 Figured it be motive。 But alas it ends up being some obscure character that to me held no wait。With that lackluster reveal the final let down was just the overall evil plan。 So Leviathan co-opts and destroys every clandestine organization in the world, gathers all their secrets, and then plans to reveal every secret to the worlds so they can make a better one? I just didn't see how step two worked。 Like I get all the spy agencies were corrupt and the mistrust and control they had was bad for the world, so if course get rid of them。 But like what next? How does revealing secrets change the world for the better? Like what secrets exactly would make the world a better place over night? 。。。more

I was expecting a lot from this book, and got none of it。 Many of DC's greatest detectives, and almost no real investigating。 All the detectives fall for every red herring and false lead, and really figure out nothing by the end。 Literally it just comes down to the villain basically revealing themselves。 Its poor writing all around and a real disappointment。 I was expecting a lot from this book, and got none of it。 Many of DC's greatest detectives, and almost no real investigating。 All the detectives fall for every red herring and false lead, and really figure out nothing by the end。 Literally it just comes down to the villain basically revealing themselves。 Its poor writing all around and a real disappointment。 。。。more

This just isn't very good, and I kind of had that feeling going into it simply knowing Bendis is the author。 Don't get me wrong。 I loved him with Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 1: Cosmic Avengers and All-New X-Men, Volume 1: Yesterday's X-Men being two of my favorite Marvel runs。Anyway, this just wasn't good。 I was confused the whole time and, even worse, I didn't even care by the end。 I typically feel compelled to read an entire storyline once I start it。 But I think I'm good here。 I t This just isn't very good, and I kind of had that feeling going into it simply knowing Bendis is the author。 Don't get me wrong。 I loved him with Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 1: Cosmic Avengers and All-New X-Men, Volume 1: Yesterday's X-Men being two of my favorite Marvel runs。Anyway, this just wasn't good。 I was confused the whole time and, even worse, I didn't even care by the end。 I typically feel compelled to read an entire storyline once I start it。 But I think I'm good here。 I think I realized I wasn't going to continue it when Leviathan was revealed as (view spoiler)[a complete rando (hide spoiler)]。 。。。more

Bendis's first DC event is a big ol’ misfire。 It's a story that has been building in his Action Comics run since the beginning。 It promises a focus on more street-level action and more detective work and espionage featuring the best detectives in the DC universe as they try to figure out who Leviathan is and why the group has infiltrated every spy organization。 So we get to see Batman, Lois Lane, Green Arrow, Robin, Plastic Man, and The Question all work together。But ultimately, it's a total cho Bendis's first DC event is a big ol’ misfire。 It's a story that has been building in his Action Comics run since the beginning。 It promises a focus on more street-level action and more detective work and espionage featuring the best detectives in the DC universe as they try to figure out who Leviathan is and why the group has infiltrated every spy organization。 So we get to see Batman, Lois Lane, Green Arrow, Robin, Plastic Man, and The Question all work together。But ultimately, it's a total chore。 Everything of any importance happens off-screen while the characters chat about the “mystery” for pages and pages。 And the stuff that actually happened isn't even all that interesting。 There are a bunch of yawn-inducing red herrings where our detectives suspect different heroes, like Steve Trevor or Red Hood。And that ending revealing Leviathan's identity is probably the most anticlimactic twist I've read in a while。 Also, for a book so dedicated to detectives and espionage, there is very little of that sort of intrigue featured here。 I would've loved to see these heroes truly investigating, follow their journey of discovery, and see how skilled they are at what they do while working together。 In a nutshell, I'm surprised by how little actually happened in this event book。 。。。more

Underwhelming as an event comic。 I think the problem is that it wants us to think of Leviathan's identity as a mystery, but there's no real clues to follow and when Leviathan's identity is revealed he's just a random, obscure character from the past that I doubt many people know exists, much less care about。 Sure, Lois Lane is allowed to be awesome, and Bendis does a good job with her relationship with Clark, but otherwise it's just a bunch of people repeating the same tiny bit of information ov Underwhelming as an event comic。 I think the problem is that it wants us to think of Leviathan's identity as a mystery, but there's no real clues to follow and when Leviathan's identity is revealed he's just a random, obscure character from the past that I doubt many people know exists, much less care about。 Sure, Lois Lane is allowed to be awesome, and Bendis does a good job with her relationship with Clark, but otherwise it's just a bunch of people repeating the same tiny bit of information over and over。 。。。more

Pues mira tu, Bendis inenta sacar una macroserie que altere el universo DC y。。。fracasa estrepitosamente, con un enemigo que intenta dar miedo pero no lo consigue, un equipo que nunca se acaba de armar, giros argumentales que no importan, y apenas saca unos dalogos buenos e interesantes, de resto, se pierde, mientras ela rte de Maleev es bueno, aunque no te dibuja un fondo ni por error, y muchas veces se descarga mucho con el colorista。

Excellent premise, super detective character combo。 The art was beautiful。 The layout was original, especially the two-page spreads。 Red Hood made the perfect entrance。 But something about the actual telling of the story, page to page, didn't do it for me。 I can't put my finger on it, but I found the story choppy and non-linear and unclear。 I'm glad I read it and I'm still thinking about the premise but none of the details stuck with me。 I wish I could read it as a novel as well。 Excellent premise, super detective character combo。 The art was beautiful。 The layout was original, especially the two-page spreads。 Red Hood made the perfect entrance。 But something about the actual telling of the story, page to page, didn't do it for me。 I can't put my finger on it, but I found the story choppy and non-linear and unclear。 I'm glad I read it and I'm still thinking about the premise but none of the details stuck with me。 I wish I could read it as a novel as well。 。。。more
