OK, so as not to be completely negative: The art wasn't bad, Sandoval and Tarragona did well.
The story, on the other hand, was nothing we haven't seen before. Many times before. Good to see that Detective Chimp is still floating around the edges of the DCU, though. Who'd've thought that that character would've had that kinda legs?
Yeah, only one of them dies of anything people could actually die from. The rest get comic-book killed -- as if their life forces were drained, or something like that. It feels completely weightless.
I was online earlier and noticed that you had posted a "useful, in-depth and insightful review of Justice League #75" but you took the word right out of my mouth.
"So ... how dead are they?"
Specifically, there is a double-page spread in which Pariah disintegrates the Big Three* into nothingness in a series of reductive panels. Then there is a single panel of him similarly disintegrating Aquaman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl and Zatanna. Justice League #75 is a nothing burger... a big, fat, expensive ($7) nothing burger.
*(Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, I mean; not Randall, Kevin and Kate.)
Oh, and for those you who are playing along at home, the Green Lantern in question I guess is John Stewart, assuming that John Stewart has taken to cosplaying as Gar Logan.

"Out of the comics for a few months" dead, I think.

It would be fun to set up a scale of lengths in terms of how quickly someone "got better".
For instance (I'm making these up) Lightning Lad was dead for three months, Superman for a couple of years, Bucky never..
Maybe we should start using the phrase "Ferro Lad dead".
I'm surprised that Martha Wayne has never been Batwoman at some point.

So who escapes to tell the tale? Green Arrow?

No, DC's answer to Namor Black Adam. Ollie gets bopped by Doomsday, and is either dead, or having a little lie down.
