Reunions are cut short when the JSA and the Lost Children to face down a new threat! Can this group of heroes and sidekicks find their rhythm or will it be curtains for both? What happens here has massive ramifications for the next stage of THE NEW GOLDEN AGE!
Due to the launch of Ghost Machine in the coming months, we now know this will be one of the last DC works of Geoff Johnsputting an end to a DC career that dates back to the 1990s with no real interruptions. Given that, it's a little odd that this final chapter comes off as so vignette-esqueor maybe not. Johns is telling a story here that's so spread out and creates countless new narratives for future writers to jump off. Read Full Review
For now, this is a fun ride and one worth exploring. Even if we don't need Per Degaton to know how it will end. Read Full Review
Justice Society of America #7 finally sees the series start feeling like an ongoing Justice Society of America tale rather than setup for future stories. The character work is well established, creating a lot of intrigue behind the new characters and concepts. Read Full Review
Justice Society of America continues to be a fun read for fans of these characters. Johns likes to include as much history as possible and reference bits that expand the overall scope of the story. There's been a lot of world building since issue #1 and Justice Society of America #7 continues to add to it. It's clear with this issue that the history of the DC Universe and the Justice Society has changed and readers can't always count on what has happened before still being included. It's nice that Johns tries to remind readers of what is still canon. Read Full Review
Like I said previously, I really feel like Justice Society of America #7 lays a lot of groundwork for big moments to come. I really like the pace of the story and the small deviations that help amplify the main emotions and roles of the featured characters. I'm looking forward to the next issue! Read Full Review
Geoff Johns and Marco Santucci bring us a heaping of characters for the JSA to interact with. When we get some information, there seems to be another door opening, and it will be quite the task to give these classic and new characters enough screen time for this era of the Justice Society to make an impact. The issue drives the story forward but doesn't hit like previous ones have before. Read Full Review
A really compelling and strange in a good way modern JSA story. Read Full Review
Justice Society Of America #7 has cool art, cool character moments, and a prevailing sense that Geoff Johns is gathering the pieces for some larger purpose. However, this issue is all setup and transition without any clear sense of direction or purpose. Casual readers will feel like this issue is simply treading water. Read Full Review
Defining exactly what Justice Society of America is about or who its central characters are is difficult and with single issues stretched as thin as this one, it's becoming increasingly difficult to care. Read Full Review
I am a softy for the JSA by Johns hence the 8.5, but all these time delays have really ruined the flow of the story. Honestly wait for a trade and get this all in one go.
That being said, this was a solid transition issue with some nice fighting, some petty fighting, and some good old recruitment to get the timeline back on track.
I did get a good chuckle out of the last panel. Poor substitutes with their lame powers.
Feels like forever since something for this title came out. There's a whole lot going on here with the JSA (and other teams...), which is probably my only complaint about this issue. Much like issue #6, it's an issue meant to stall and tease future storylines. The JSA are all doing different things in this issue to set these future plots into motion. Huntress' team is in Slaughter Swamp, Power Girl's team goes to Belle Reve, Doctor Fate and the Witch Girl try to 'bond', and the most out of place plot with Doctor Mid-Nite and Wildcat is further set up. There's just too much happening here, and with the inconstant release schedule, it's hard to really care about the many things happening. The issue is still great and more interesting than the more
