  Comic Book Bin - Koppy McFad Oct 3, 2010

  The need to resolve all of Magog's plotlines in one issue makes it look like DC Comics is determined to kill him off very soon. That is a bit sad as the writers were doing something original with Magog: depicting a character who wasn't likable and who didn't try to appeal to the reader for sympathy but who was still a hero. Well, one thing they did succeed in doing in this issue was showing the reader that Magog wasn't just a one-note character but despite everything, was actually quite admirable. Too bad we won't be seeing much more of him. Read Full Review

  It's nice to see things tied-up, but at what cost? Magog still exists, Gog is still dead, and a new creative team is taking over JSA. Unless you're a die-hard JSA fan, you're going to want to pass this one up. If you're a die-hard JSA AND Scott Kolins fan like myself, pick it up since Scott's work is great on this issue. Otherwise, wait for the next run of JSA to come out and Praise be to Gog... but not Magog. Read Full Review

  If we factor in some plotting issues, add the huge plus of no more Gog, subtract weird and distracting coloring, carry the one, and bring in the fact that the title characters put in the equivalent of cameos, and we shake down thusly: Justice Society of America Special #1 earns a slightly below average 2 out of 5 stars overall, even as the art is pretty spiffy throughout.

  This special simply isn't special, and for the price on the cover it's darn near painful. The worst part of it all? Magog's story isn't even over. Read Full Review
