dogmanstar reviewed JSA #1 Nov 6, 2024
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.

dogmanstar reviewed Flash #14 Oct 23, 2024
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
