I think Pak was able to get the voices right, but I was disappointed that he went back all the way to the beginning of the TV series. The story was decent enough. I think it's a mini-series, so I'll continue it.

I would have rather seen a story about the newer JSA than going back to year one of the original JSA members. The setup is okay with the mysterious corporation. The scene with Garrick being accused of being Flash by the genie guy was funny, but not much else is memorable. I hope it doesn't take him another 12 issues to tell this story.

Though I didn't care for the back-up story, the main story was pretty entertaining. Having Flattop mow down the guy from the first run was a good setup for the story. I'm ready for the next issue of the main story and for the real blank to come back.

The artwork continues to be good. But that's about it. The story is completely off the rails. I love Rucka, but he must have been on some serious drugs to write this.

As a sequel to Black Stone, this works somewhat well with three storylines merging together at some point. I almost wish we had three separate issues that each delved into one story instead of jumping back and forth like leapfrog. Jim Zub always does a good job.

I really hoping to like this, but shoe-horning this story in the middle of Sleeping Beauty doesn't work. The twin ghosts helping her find new magic is also a let-down. The artwork is barely passable. This is a one-and-done for me, which is unfortunate since the character has so much potential.

This is Jed Mckay's weakest plotline yet. And when Marc changes personalities, he physically changes as well? Where did that come from? I like Scarlet Scarab, but he's far better with Tigra. This entire plot and villain are not working for me at all. Let's hope this closes up next issue, so we can get a better storyline.

I thought that was a pretty funny moment -- in the panel where he says "the name's Jake Lockley", his hand is just lowering from slapping on a fake mustache he's been keeping in his costume for just such a moment. I mean, Jake has a fake mustache, logically he has to.

Another great issue. I love the look of the stag warden with the red helmet. The goat warden is cool, too. The introduction of warden after warden, each with its own unique design. This story is finite, however. I hope it doesn't start to drag like Void Rivals. That one really needs to end. Rook has a good twenty issues more, in my opinion, unless Johns figures out how to make it fresh again. more

The artwork continues to be top-notch and fits the story. I am still confused as to why Rucka brought this back. This is a slow issue for being issue 5, with no real cliffhanger. Michael's girlfriend gets the drug while Forever stays in hiding. It says that the arc concludes in the next issue. So, I guess this is a setup with Sonja battling Forever.
