    A solemn issue indeed is Justice Society of America: Ragnarok #6. But a vital issue by definition if there ever was one. This loss will be felt in earnest, we will see in the next issue. Join me friends, I will have the tissues ready. Read Full Review

    This wouldn't be the first time Lemire killed off a character I thought was untouchable, and this title continues to be a very different but no less excellent continuation of Johns' work on the book. Read Full Review

    A solid issue that doesn't rely too heavily on action beats, but instead focuses on the drama, giving us a truly great moment of writing. We see Ted Grant trying to step into the role of a father figure for Khalid, the latest in a long line of individuals tasked with bearing the heavy responsibility of the Helmet of Fate. There's a great moment where Ted gives Khalid a pep talk to help him stay focused on the task at hand. It's a moment that serves as a subtle but important bit of foreshadowing for the tragedy to come. Read Full Review

    Overall, JSA #6 is a pivotal issue that shatters the status quo and sets the stage for a devastating conflict. It's a must-read for fans of the Justice Society of America and those who appreciate emotionally charged superhero stories. The issue delivers on its promise of high stakes and shocking revelations, leaving readers anxiously awaiting the next chapter. Read Full Review

    JSA #6pauses several subplots and focuses on the bigger problems at hand for a cleaner and more impactful chapter. Jeff Lemire considerably tightens up the focus and the consequences to give his arc weight, and the art from Diego Olortegui looks pretty darn good. Read Full Review

    As an introduction to DC's Golden Age heroes, JSA does an excellent job at presenting three generations of the publisher's oldest team, complete with fun, optimistic stories that can sometimes explore dark themes. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd

    Apr 02, 2025

    Unfortunately, the script for JSA #6 seems phoned in. Aspects that should have huge emotional impact feel lifeless and empty. Lemire is a better writer than this and it's possible to tell what he's trying to do. Despite Olortegui doing a solid job on the art, the heart of the JSA is missing and it may not be in Lemire's wheelhouse to provide. Read Full Review

    Fantastic issue and Lemire finally got into his groove for the series of what I expect from him.

    I guess not everyone likes this but I enjoyed it. It's not structured in a traditional manner. I don't mind how he threw us into it. There are writers that take a year of story telling to get to this point. And I like the art. Very dynamic and expressive.

    This continues to be an average book with far too many characters. However, this was one of the better issues. The story does move along, but I'm over the Tower in Hell storyline. I believe he does wrap it up since both teams are reunited. The fact that there are two teams is the biggest problem with this book. It seems as if the writer didn't know which set of the JSA to feature, so he decided to do both. However, Hawkman and Hawkgirl are still MIA. I do like that Yolanda is called out as a murderer. I hope we see some ramifications there. Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/z4mhfoTRWJc

    Glad to see this storyline fairly well wrapped up, though loose ends certainly remain. The shocking death this issue didn't have the impact on me it should've had, and the story overall feels terribly decompressed. When you look back on it, not a lot really happened in these 6 issues. Lemire has done much better work on Animal Man and, now, Absolute Flash. Maybe super-teams with big casts aren't his thing? I'm also not a fan of the cartoony art-style.

    Does Jeff Lemire even want to write the JSA? This series is so soulless and rushed. There is no sense of passion or coherent story structure present. The decision to start the story in the middle of nowhere and show the team at their worst is extremely odd. I expected better from Lemire.
