Mar 06, 2026As the entire JSA gathers for a final showdown, we see the first moments of the full team in action. But as the issue ends, things are thrown into chaos once again. However, the end of the issue has some very interesting implications – as we flash forward to the present as Alan Scott and Jay Garrick discuss the future of the JSA – and if there even is one in the aftermath of Wildcat’s death.

Mar 04, 2026The endgame is here for the JSA as the Ultra-Humanite makes his move!. Lemire unites the squad with a clever set-up. Guidry & Guerrero easily handle juggling the large case with quality moments. “Year One” has been a huge win thus far and looks to conclude on a strong note. Check it out. Read Full Review

Mar 10, 2026Welp, we’ve finally got the team together, and with a couple of former members rejoining the fold in the present day, I’d say things with the JSA run are going well so far. Some entertaining character moments, the completed puzzle of the villain’s plan, and a cliffhanger that’s got me eager for issue 18. Read Full Review

AIPT - George Loftus
Mar 04, 2026The parts of JSA 17 are greater than its sum. There’s a clear distinction between the past and present of these iconic characters - they feel familiar but act like young, naive versions of themselves. The art makes you feel like you’re looking at the past, and the story itself feels like what you want a fun, Golden Age conspiracy to be. All that said though, as we approach the final chapter it feels more like it’s going through the motions than fighting its way to the top of my read pile. Read Full Review

Almost perfect but had to knock off a point for reminding me that wildcat is dead and Rick and Jesse are separated.

I really think Lemire didn't learn his lesson on the last arc and plans on miling this storyloine for as long as he possibly can. This story is already becoming string cheese. I fhe goes beyond 8 parts, I'm dropping it. I don't think anyone is even reading this anymore. Every issue is the same. SHould we get together? Nah. Should we get ogether? It makes sense. Nah you smell funny. LOL. It's getting old really fast.
