I love the golden age superheroes from DC and the new JSA brings these original heroes back into the modern age along with their legacy namesakes. Well above average art and plot keep these 70 year old comic characters interesting and entertaining. Very recommended

7.2/10The new team gathered around for the first time and after five minutes, a man drops from the ceiling dead on the table! who is that man? who killed him? Who is behind his death? A good start to the series, also Starman is great.

Great start to the series, was a good way of breathing new life into the society. It handled the legacy of the characters very well, with enough about each character as not to confuse new readers whilst also appealing to long time readers too. Geoff Johns does his best work with lesser known and lower tier characters and this is a great example of that. Only issue I had was that the story perhaps wound down too soon, otherwise a great read.

Well now, looks like I might have a new favourite team here! Geoff Johns creates a well written and engaging read, accompanied by the absolutely stellar art, it's one damn fine book.After reading the 52 series I enjoyed the parts with the JSA so much that I needed to read a title of theirs. I also happen to be a massive Johns fan so this seemed like the prime spot to kick off on, and boy was I right! The team is made up of Green Lantern (Alan Scott), The Flash (Jay Garrick), Wildcat, Damage, Dr

I love this era of DC's first super hero team! A year after the events of Infinite Crisis, Green Lantern, The Flash and Wildcat (the only three surviving original members) embark on a mission to gather and nurture the next generation of heroes. Their focus is on legacies- descendants and proteges of heroes they worked with and other newcomers who need training to best use their abilities.The current membership (Stargirl, Power Girl, Mr. Terrific, Dr. Midnight. Sand, Liberty Belle and Hourman II)...

The story is kind of meh. It was a little flat, and the villains were kind of cartoonish. The characters seemed to be written fairly well, though. Except Cyclone, who felt... I don't know, like a caricature or something. Which seemed odd, in a book where all the other characters felt more realistic. She also seemed like she'd be really annoying in real life, and she could get kind of irritating just on the page. It wasn't actually terrible, just not for me.

The art is good but I didn't think Johns lived up to his usual story telling in this one. The conflict is almost incidental to the reforming of the group and that leads to, I think, a weaker overall story. Also, he tells the story in pieces which makes it more difficult to follow as a coherent whole. It's an okay read, but I tend to expect more from Geoff Johns. The art is what redeems this one.

The Flash, Wildcat and Green Lantern are tracking down the descendants of former JSA members, to invite them onto the team, but Nazi supervillains are doing the same, to wipe them out. Surprisingly brutal, but most enjoyable, and the new Starman was intriguing. Very nice art too.

After the previous volume of the JSA wandered off into irrelevance at the end of its run, it was good to see Johns return with this volume, offering a strong new start to the series. The decision to bring in more legacies — some new and some old — was great for a team that was always focused on legacy. Note that the we get the first part of the origin of the third Steel here, who's an influence on the Steel in the Legends of Tomorrow TV show.As for the plot: it's typical Johnsian traumatic actio...

About half of the characters in this book I had little to no familiarity with. If nothing else, this has piqued my interest enough to read some more JSA stories.

This was kind of cool. The idea is that the world isn't a simple place anymore. After Infinite Crisis everything is getting darker, meaner, and Justice Society is no exception. This was kind of a cool bridge comic. As if like saying "hey new heroes, we need you" but the thing is you might not know of any of these characters or least a few of them. It's all about getting a new crew of Justice Society members, both young and old members going together. Legacies getting passed down. New villains po...

This books series just keeps getting better and better.

The JSA has always been one of those strange teams that I am not that familiar with. I saw this volume had been penned by Geoff Johns and I tend to like his work, so I picked this one up.The JSA is going on a recruiting drive for new members. As they seek to add to their ranks, there is an opposition group that is out to destroy them. Without spoilers that's the gist. It is certainly a darker tale than I thought it would be. The story had a great deal of violence and death and has a dark tone th...

Recruitment drives issues/arcs are always enjoyable no matter the team. Here, the JSA decides to get back together but to do so with the help of some younger generational heroes. There is some interesting mystery here and there but there is also a lot of cliched moments. The book needed more time especially with larger things to come (Lightning Sage, Thy Kingdom Come). The art by Dale Eaglesham was really nice. Overall, a decent beginning that already seems hampered by the bigger picture.

THIS WAS SO GOOD!It starts with a new roster and I love the way Johns focuses on multiple viewpoints but its when Mr America a former JSA member dies and well JSA has to look into it and we see the Nazi villains like Blitzkreig targeting them and we later learn its a ploy by Savage to take down family of the JSA and we also get origins of Maxine/Cyclone and Tom, son of wildcat and something with Nate/Citizen Steel and wow I love the way Johns introduces characters while the big threat is there a...

After reading so many of those New 52 books, it's makes you forget that DC Comics used to create some really amazing well written stories. And this was absolutely fantastic.

I've discovered that some of my favorite superhero graphic novels are the ones that don't bother with Superman, Batman, and all other the other well-known heroes. Learning more about the lesser-known characters is way more fun and many of them actually have significantly more interesting backstories than the more famous heroes.

Once again, Johns PROVES he cannot write a superhero story without killing at LEAST one or two characters. Pathetic.
