Overall, Justice League of America #13 can be seen as a victim of the success of the previous issue. It's a true sophomore slump and writer Kindt tries his best with what he's been handed, but it's extremely hard to salvage any issue after a plot point that completely negates any emotion and momentum the arc has built up. Eddy Barrows' art is a major plus for this issue, however, and it helps take away a bit of the sting. Read Full Review

By the end of this issue, Matt Kindt is able to complete his look at Stargirl's origin, motivations, and place in the DCU. It's a satisfying look at a character who will hopefully take on a bigger DCU role post-Forever Evil. But the twist ending does neither Stargirl nor this storyline any favors. It lends everything a pointless sensation, like this entire conflict was all long, drawn-out sizzle and no steak. As with a lot of tie-ins, this issue doesn't even end so much as direct readers to Forever Evil #7 for real resolution. All this build-up should have led to something more satisfying.

For readers who are not Stargirl fans, there isn't a whole lot for you here. This issue does nothing to build the Forever Evil event, and feels like it is treading water. Stargirl is written to have the potential for star power, but the storyline, sadly, takes the wind out of her sails. Read Full Review

While I loved the most of the story, the ending just left me confused and frustrated.  This whole JLA Forever Evil adventure might as well have been a dream from an autistic child.  I'm really lost for words, because I hate not understanding something, I'm interested in.  Maybe it's just me, maybe you'll read it and be right on the trolley.  I don't know, all I have is a soured experience.

I'll give it to Kindt, he definitely gave me a character I can learn to care about and an action packed story that shined on characters who have not had much focus since the start of the ‘New 52′ and it helped that it was backed up with a wonderful art team. But the ending completely killed the effect the story had on me and made these two characters. Stargirl and Manhunter, into strong characters look very weak other all. Read Full Review

Most of the time, books suffer from being dragged into huge crossovers. That has certainly been the case here. Read Full Review

So the "dream" thing is overdone as it is, but if you're going to use such a lame deus ex machina, at least do it well. The art team is trying their hardest to make a convincing story visually, but they can only be as good as their script. And I hate to say it, but Matt Kindt just isn't cutting it. It's sad, because his Suicide Squad is great. This book, unfortunately, is not only the worst of the Forever Evil tie-in series, but quite possibly, the entire New 52 line. Courtney willing J'onn back to life is nonsense. The willpower she has and her weakness of not wanting to fail others is rubbish. And to be completely honest, I don't even care enough to finish this story. (I will" but still. Make it a little easier on me, DC. This should be one of your best books.) Read Full Review

But the problem with this book is that it could have been good, it could have been special, if only the greater Forever Evil story would allow it. Read Full Review

Oh ok, the classic "it was all a dream" stuff. Disappointed, t'say the least.

JLA ends with a whimper.
