JSA #11 is one of the better issues of this series so far. It's certainly not miserable even if it still feels shallow and emotionless. I still question Lemire's heart being in it. He's written some great stuff, but this isn't it. Olortegui's art continues to be enjoyable and helps elevate this to above mediocre. Reuniting the team certainly puts things in a better place going forward. Read Full Review
The Ragnarok arc seems to be nearing its conclusion although its not as clear how the creative team will wrap this storyline as the JSA has been on the defensive almost as long as the series began. Hopefully for all this extended buildup, this arc has a fitting payoff. Read Full Review
The whole run has been very consistently around an 8 for me. Not my favorite issue but the required issue for the finale. Looking forward to a shorter story arc next.
I feel like Lemire is more in his Animal Man-style comfort zone writing Absolute Flash versus this book. He seems to have difficulty here with pacing, transitions and a giant cast of characters. It’s still good, but it’s not compelling in the way Johns’ first two JSA books were (I won’t bring up his last run). This arc is also going on way too long but I’m hopeful for an exciting wrap-up soon. As for the art, it’s ok, but a little too cartoony for my taste.
