    Jeff Lemire crafts an engaging story here, weaving in plenty of time jumps and flashbacks that, while intriguing, can get a little confusing at times. The characters are well-written, and the interpersonal conflicts feel genuine and believable. Overall, it's a solid issue, though there's still a lot left to uncover before the full picture comes into focus. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Dec 4, 2024

    JSA #2 is an excellent second issue and follow-up to an ambitious debut. It wastes no time throwing the reader right into the thick of it, and that is a good thing. Jeff Lemires voice is present throughout which leads to some interesting twists and turns. Diego Olortegui matches Lemires energy in his art with wonderful colors from Luis Guerrero. This creative team is an excellent fit and delivers exactly what a JSA book needs to be today. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Dec 4, 2024

    JSA #2puts the question after the answer with a flashback-heavy issue that sets up most of the fallout from issue #1. It's unclear why Jeff Lemire chose to put the cart before the horse in terms of plot, but the issue compensates with big action and plenty of twists to hold your attention. Plus, the art team's output is decent enough, but the same team produced better visuals in last year's Jay Garrick miniseries.6.5/10 Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Dec 4, 2024

    Overall, JSA #2 is better than issue #1, but mostly structurally. This issue makes #1 almost unnecessary except for the reveal about Obsidian/ Johnny Sorrow. There are still character bits that feel off and a sense of "we've done this already, but not in a fun nostalgic way. Two issue's in this series needs more focus on character and less reliance on plot. Read Full Review
