    This series took a little getting used to compared to the lighter JSA run by Johns, with its denser tone and higher stakes, but it's really grown with every issue, pulling in some compelling plot threads from the history of the JSA and giving some less-known characters an excellent spotlight.

    The Comicbook Dispatch - Dispatchdcu Jul 2, 2025

    JSA #9 is the calm before (and possibly during) the storma cerebral, character-driven chapter that tightens the screws on the team's fragile unity. Jeff Lemire continues to strike a perfect balance between honoring the mythic stature of the Justice Society and challenging it with modern storytelling sensibilities. As the mystery of the mole deepens and the threat of the Injustice Society looms ever larger, one thing is clear: this isnt your grandfathers JSAbut its still the heart of the DC Universe.

    The JSA start mounting a comeback but is it already too late? Lemire sets an impactful stage with the writing. Olortegui and Guerrero construct many looks as the Injustice Society make their final move. This series continues to weave a classic tale for all to enjoy. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - beastfire Jul 2, 2025

    With some entertaining reveals and some well-done character drama, JSA #9 is definitely worth the read. JSA #9 was easy enough to follow without much prior knowledge, but is enhanced considerably by the context. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Jul 2, 2025

    Lemire lays off the infighting and it helps JSA #9 immensely. He gives the characters some agency and it really improves the tone and feel of the issue. Like issue #4 when Obsidian got the spotlight, Beth gets it here and allowing characters to do something to move the plot really works. It's no surprise that last issue's flashback story plays into a small part to complete an idea, even if it's fairly obvious. It may not be clever, but it's solid. This issue is definitely better than most of the series with only Yolanda's self pity holding things back. Maybe I'd go 7.5/10. Read Full Review
