AIPT - Diane Darcy
Nov 05, 2025Jeff Lemire and Gavin Guidry go back to the year 1940 in JSA #13, but they're not there to rewrite the events of All-Star Comics #3... they're there to flesh it out! Read Full Review

Nov 05, 2025This issue has a lot of common DNA with the flashback minis that Jay, Alan, and Wesley got a few years back, but with a larger cast and a common focus. It's a very interesting change of pace from the first year, and one that looks like it's going to fill in a ton of blanks. Read Full Review

Nov 07, 2025JSA #13 provides the start to an intriguing origin story, complete with the promises of conspiracy. A great time to jump in, if you're new to it. It took a few moments for me to catch onto the swing of things, with it leaping between plot threads, but when I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Read Full Review

Jeff rocked this. DC is killing it with these new Year One stories. No, DC are just killing it in general. Marvel comics is pitiful comparatively.

Intriguing snippets of each character's introductory storyline are interesting and well-drawn, but there's not enough here to elevate this issue into a truly outstanding kick-off. That said, I'm interested to learn what happens next to each of these classic characters.

Solid but a bit muddled.

I would have rather seen a story about the newer JSA than going back to year one of the original JSA members. The setup is okay with the mysterious corporation. The scene with Garrick being accused of being Flash by the genie guy was funny, but not much else is memorable. I hope it doesn't take him another 12 issues to tell this story.

This was terrible. There is a laundry list of inconsistencies that make it seem like DC/ Lemire are ignorant of the JSA's history and these characters in their early years. If you know, you know. If you don't you probably didn't catch them. There's nothing worse than feeling like you know more about the characters than the writer and editor on a book. Feels like they are just going with a whole new reimagining of the Golden Age. Too many inconsistencies- Carter and Shiera have the wrong hair color. Shiera didn't become Hawkgirl until 1941 (All-Star #5) the thunderbolt pen thing, Rex worked for Bannermain chemicals... ...not his own company. And I just can't with Alan Scott. This retconned version will never sit right with me. more
