The third issue of 'Justice League: No Justice #3', is another solid issue regarding the story as the heroes continue with their struggle of saving the planet of Colu from the 'Omega Titans'. But the art suffers from the hectic schedule, as the changed artists fail to convey the massive scope of the conflict unlike 'Manapul' did in the past two issues.

This issue starts with Vril Dox explaining some of the hidden machinations of Brianiacs plans and the actual direness of the situation to the heroes. Then we get again some excellent banter and specific teams trying to accomplish their goals separately. I really loved how some of the characters who could have been easily sidelined gets their time in the limelight. And although the issue does slow down a bit too little for me, the progression as a whole is well measured enough to keep me very interested in the last issue as Earth's fate hangs in the balance (we know it will survive though).

I really loved the character of Starro and Martian Manhunter in this issue. I do hope Starro survives his ordeal somehow and we get to see more of this new aspect of his character. It was quite apparent that the authors were trying to give center stage to the characters involved in the upcoming Justice League series' at times, but despite this the overall character dynamic was once again a very strong point of this issue.

For the negative, the art really does seem lackluster here. 'Riley Rossmo' and 'Marcus To' never really seemed to grab my attention as much as Manapul did in the last two issues. The first half of the issue, especially, seems to have many poorly drawn and overall the issue has squarish character drawings (Wonder Woman looks so ghastly and too much like a macho man) that never really conveys facial expression at all. Even the delightful coloring from 'Hi-Fi' from the previous issues falls rather flat on this one.

Nevertheless, this issue did manage to set the stage rather comprehensively for the finale next week, despite its drawing not being up to the mark at all.
This gets 3 out of 5 stars from me, which quite honestly could have been much higher with the previous artist on board I think.
