* AuthorsSavingThrow: After decades of Earth-3 stories often portraying the Crime Syndicate, and some heroes, as StupidEvil or inherently selfish people who are naturally inclined towards cruelty, this comic restores Earth-3 to being closer to how it was portrayed in pre-Crisis with the best elements of the later versions: it's a true MirrorUniverse where the heroes and villains swap roles while still being a world where evil has an advantage like ''ComicBook/JLAEarth2'', but at the same time the villains have actual depth with their backstories explaining why they ended up the way they are and implying that they could have been heroes if things were different while also confirming that the heroes of Earth-3 are still heroes even if they aren't successful.

** Speaking of Johnny, he's defined almost entirely by his own murder. Other than learning his FreudianExcuse and how he met Atomica, he's never given any meaningful moments.

* SoOkayItsAverage: General consensus has been the book has done a couple of interesting twists on the Crime Syndicate, but the miniseries overall feels more like a filler story or prologue building up to something more important that never happens. It notably takes all six issues before the Syndicate is officially formed, and by that point [[spoiler:Johnny Quick is dead]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Atomica barely gets any development that doesn't involve her connection to Johnny Quick, to the point we only see her backstory ''after'' she met him.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: John Stewart's entire character-arc is centered almost entirely around [[TheCorrupter the Power Ring he wears]]. The comic only gently nudges at the relationship between John and his daughter, which the final issue took great care to establish as one of his big motivators. The comic sets up a parallel between John's KnightTemplar nature and his strained fathering but never bothers to really connect the two beyond lip-service - resulting in an unnatural-feeling turn to the dark side.
