Decent enough issue. Added 0.5 extra because I love JSA.

I think the artist is going to polish his already great art as the series goes by. He has that kind of up-and-coming energy.

Great characterization. Good setup. Ideal lineup. I am sold.

Support This Book!

I wish this had been the first issue. After a bold, radical first act, this title definitely deserves a second chance. Flash has always been my favorite, but too often he's written in a way that feels predictable. I'm excited to see someone finally take an ambitious approach. The first act wasn’t perfect, but it experimented—now I can see Spurrier hitting a stride more

Wally, Linda, and the kids come together in the wake of the losses suffered to heal as a family and figure out their new abilities. While this family trip has a unique destination--Skartaris, in the center of the Earth--Wally's begun an evolution into a new form, and he's not ready to share that with the rest of the family!

Book of the week. Should have been the first issue.

Smithd33 - Nov 4, 2024

The first act was an overextended piece of crap. Trying to Monday morning quarterback it to hype up the next run ain’t it. Most of the audience is gone. And si won’t be too far behind.
