In part 2 of the JLA/JSA crossover, the Starheart has staked its claim on Alan Scott and his kids Jade and Obsidian! Can the combined might of the Justice Society and the Justice League break up the newly reunited family before they unwittingly unleash serious damage on the DC Universe?Also features the second piece of the 5-part interconnecting cover by Mark Bagley and Jesus Merino!
In the end, this is full-out superhero magic. Or superheroes versus magic. Whatever. It's good, and it's a worthy heir to the Summer Comics of legend. I'm enjoying this JLA/JSA event, and can't wait to throw the next installment on the floor and crank the box fan up to high. Read Full Review
So overall this was a good issue even if it only moved the overall plot forward a smidge. It seems like this was more a fleshing out issue, adding some depth to the proceedings rather than storming forward. Bagley's art was fine here although some pages had a more rough feel to them than others; I wonder if he was rushed a bit. Still, I am enjoying this Dark Things story arc. Good stuff.

By the way, if you find the cover hard to track, it's part of a continuous wrap-around for each of part of the crossover, the final piece of which reveals their ultimate foe. Read Full Review
