With some of the team reunited, they need to put a plan together to strike backat the Injustice Society! But with a mole hiding amongst them, is their planalready ruined?!
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 Injustice Society finally reveals its sinister plans to the Justice Society, but with an unexpected heel turn from a former Secret Six member. Read Full Review
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
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
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
There's a lot going on in these pages, dating back to issue #1, with more characters popping up here. The Justice League may be unlimited but the Justice Society is timeless. Read Full Review
Can't say I'm crazy about Scandal's characterization. But solid otherwise.
Wonderful. The plot progressed well and this series always leaves me anxious for the next chapter.
It feels like something really happens this issue! Love that the traitor bit is finally over.
And we dinally get to see an old favorite back again (JT)!
I enjoyed it. Some great fight sequences and storytelling. Can’t believe it took 8 issues to get here.
I'm Glad that the story is finally progressing. The main piece of this issue is the battle between Savage and Dr. Mid-Nite, though I have no idea why they need her alive. She contacts the HQ and the imposter is outted. The rest of the issue about Obsidian caught in the maze of his mind is inconsequential. Nine issues of the same story is too much. Though it appears that they are dropping most of the older characters and focusing on the new ones. Yolanda should be in jail. Not sure why her fate is still being debated.
