The formula for this book isn't too complicated with a creative team that understands how to deliver on their respective roles. DC editors really need to consider expanding Adams' role in the larger comic universe as he's one of their most reliably enjoyable writers capable of writing comics readers want to read.

This issue was a bit more of a breather than the last two, but it's impressive just how well Adams writes the entire cast despite Judy being essentially a completely new character. Read Full Review

Jay Garrick's series works well as a follow-up on Jeremy Adams previous Scarlet Speedster run that focused on Wally West, only it's not quite as strong at the end of the day. Read Full Review
Adams does a great job in this issue. Once again, this is the JSA content you are looking for. Great fights (this does Alan Scott better than his actual book), wholesome family moments, wacky science, lore consistency and amazing character awareness with a dash a fun reveals!
I honestly don't know what more you could ask for in a book like this. Judy is great. Like honestly in the past few years this is by far the best new character introduced to DC. Her character is developing well and written so well.
Seriously if you dont know if you should pick up these issues. Just do it. Read them, be happy and get a little hope back in these depressing times. Treat yourself. This book puts a smile on my face.
A consistently good title month to month that rewards fans of The Flash and the JSA with wholesome content with an enthralling story.
Jeremy Adams and his team of artists continue to reward fans for following his love of comics. I was wondering if The Flash was a flash in the pan (no pun intended, I promise), but it appears that this and Green Lantern get the Adams boost. Usually it's difficult to get over a new, younger hero when they are attached to a legacy hero, but Judy is an enjoyable protagonist to have, I hope she sticks around after this miniseries is over. Also any excuse to make use of the JSA team outside of Geoff Johns is welcome, as Johns is terribly slow and keep to a schedule!
Recommended!
This series continues to be so fun and while intriguing. Not only is Diego Olortegui's art a perfect fit, but his Judy is "as cute as a button."
Love Adams’ writing, he’s so good with character work, plus he simply “gets” these characters. I would love to see this series continue on past 6 issues, a la GREEN ARROW. Adams’ book bring fun back to superheroes!
I’d give it a higher rating, but the art didn’t quite gel with me as much as the writing. It felt a little too cartoony.
