As Huntress pushes to recruit the Harlequin's Son, the Legionnaire enacts his plans against the JSA! What does this mean for the future of the world's first superteam?!
Personally, a comic with my two favorite teams in the same issue, it's hard to beat Justice Society of America #11. Marco Santucci does an outstanding job, and shows you why you should want him on your favorite title. Geoff Johns also shows why he's one of the best comic book writers of his generation. He's still got a lot of stories to tell. Whatever negatives might exist, delays, desire for MORE story, the fun, nostalgia and excitement culminate in a great issue that is tough to beat. Limited with only scoring out of 5, it's not fair to give this issue less than a perfect score anymore than it's unfair to give it only a 4.5/5. Read Full Review
If I could change one thing? What would I ask? More battle? I don't think so. Was the end swift? Convenient? I think it is far more telling, a left open answer until it is answered. There are some amazing moments to be found in Justice Society of America #11. From the Mikel Janin cover, to the passion and research and genuine love for comics as a medium. This series really feels like a love letter from creators to fans, to show that they love the thrill of a good read with your favorite characters too. Such an amazing book. Read Full Review
Johns' JSA run is nearly over and it's been an extended farewell. Thankfully it's been a fantastic read with this issue offering up a fun scenario for future writers to explore. Read Full Review
Overall, Justice Society of America #11 is a must-read for fans of the series and those who enjoy complex superhero stories. Johns and Jann have created a compelling narrative that is both action-packed and thought-provoking. If you are a JSA fan or Geoff Johns fan, you need to take a look at this issue as well as the series. Read Full Review
Justice Society of America #11 teases a big brawl between the Legion and the JSA, which opens up the imagination to see those two teams taking each other on. Johns and Santucci provide an excellent adventure that offers much-needed closure while creating curiosity about what comes next for these characters. Luckily, the gap between issues got tighter, and this issue sparked my hope in how this team is being used. Read Full Review
Geoff Johns is arguably the defining creator at DC Comics of the last twenty years, having iconic runs on so many great books. That makes it all the more disappointing how his run there is ending, with him already having left for his own company and playing out the string with massively delayed books coming out several months late. Despite this, though, the quality of the titles hasn't really suffered and you haven't been able to see many seams in the scripting until now. Read Full Review
Justice Society of America #11 marks the end of Young Mordru's bid to avoid his villainous future with a knockdown, drag-out fight against multiple adversaries. Geoff Johns takes multiple shortcuts and off-panel liberties to make this battle work, but Marco Santucci's spectacular art almost makes you forget how much Johns cheats the script to get you there.

Good read and some nice payoffs. First half was the strongest half with a solid opening fight, the big twist reveal ect. Things get a bit weaker in the second half but we start to get a resolution to John's run and how things are going to end. While I go like it, I will echo others sentiments that this could have been stronger if it was 18 issues instead. Give it another 'trade' worth of chapters (add in a side story or two), have the team solve stuff more together first, have them have to work after that vote a bit more together first and I think it would have been an all-star story. However we all know with the delays and other issues this series was plagued with, that would never happen sadly.
Solid read, but I am a bit sadde more
This felt a bit rushed to me.
The Justice Society of America by Geoff Johns, at least the most recent series, is strong if not marred by it's constant delays.
The comic has a great mix up of dozens of heroes from both the JSA and Legion of Super-Heroes. This issue is DENSE with previous layers of storytelling and if you stepped into this randomly you wouldn't find this a worthwhile read. Eclipso is a good reveal but it's ultimately weak because the Legionnaire who was introduced 2 issues ago is being shoved off into another super team. Like Kneel Before Zod, this series needed room to continue the story and with a new writer taking over after issue 12 (plus all the delays), this issue will read a lot better in trade format.
