I also have problems with it but rated it higher. Perhaps I want to like it. It’s not very modern, which is good and bad. There may also be something off in the flow of the writing and the art.
THE INJUSTICE SOCIETY ATTACKS! After sacrificing his reincarnation for one last life with the woman he loves, Hell is the last place Hawkman wants to be right now! With his allies at the Tower of Fate under siege by the Injustice Society, can he escape Wotan's clutches--or is his goose truly cooked?
Longtime Lemire fans will quickly recognize a lot of the themes from Lemire's other superhero works, and DC is very lucky to have this top talent back in the talent roster. Read Full Review
Overall, JSA #3 is a thrilling chapter in Lemire's epic saga. It's a must-read for fans of the JSA, Hawkman, and anyone who enjoys well-crafted superhero comics. With its compelling story, strong characterization, and stunning artwork, this issue is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Justice Society of America. Read Full Review
Hawkmans darkest hour arrives but not without possible help. Lemires writing brings out the best of the classic team. Olortegui, Guerrero and Wands dive into the pure emotion of conflict for an entertaining tale. How can you not be a fan of what is happening here! Read Full Review
After the chaos of the past two issues, JSA #3 serves as a breather of sorts, while also reminding folks that this team functions best as a family. As we enter a new year, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the creative team keeps that at the forefront of the story. Read Full Review
There's a lot going on in this series, maybe too much- too much without the right hooks. Some of the story elements feel like they are out of order, and not because it's being told that way on purpose, but rather we've had a major reveal that has been spoiled that should've come later for more impact. It could also be said that Todd Rice/ Obsidian should never have been teased as villainousA-GAIN! Instead of creating character moments that move things forward, it feels like Lemire is just recapitulating themes and story beats we've seen before. Even Kendra's feelings echo those from her first story arc back when she was first introducedbut, with an even more awkward element this time. There's a real lack of freshness to the story as we hit JSA #3. It's "Ragnarok, and the JSA has been there, done that before as well- JSA elements, but without the feeling or a sense of character progression. Read Full Review
The art continues to be good, but the JSA in Hell? We just saw something silmar in Silent Knight where the team with split up with one team going to an odd dimension. I do like the stuff with the imposter Obsidian, give me more of that. Also, why are Hawkgirl and Hawkman not together? And who is the wounded character in the hospital? If anyone knows, let me know.

This is a strange book. It reads like old school Claremont X-men. Which is both good and bad. Going to stick with it. At least for a bit.
I want to like this book i really do, but it is just not working for me. I cant put my finger on it though.
I love the Jsa , maybe my Johns bias is effecting my opinion on the book
