Lemire is one of the most innovative superhero comic writers out there, as seen in his creator-owned work, and I'm very excited to see how his take on this team continues to develop. Read Full Review

Jeff Lemire crafts an engaging story here, weaving in plenty of time jumps and flashbacks that, while intriguing, can get a little confusing at times. The characters are well-written, and the interpersonal conflicts feel genuine and believable. Overall, it's a solid issue, though there's still a lot left to uncover before the full picture comes into focus. Read Full Review

The look back at the current JSA conflict provides readers with a vintage superhero sotry. Lemire brings out the JSAs timeless strengths as characters with the writing. Olortegui, Guerrero and Wands construct a throwdown that is sure to please new and seasoned readers alike. Judging by the close, there may be no choice but to adapt or fade away. Read Full Review

Like its preceeding issue, JSA #2 ends with a massive shock. But unlike other comics that feel like they have to throw something shocking at the reader to keep their attention, this feels like a genuine surprise thanks to the character work on display. Read Full Review

JSA #2 is an excellent second issue and follow-up to an ambitious debut. It wastes no time throwing the reader right into the thick of it, and that is a good thing. Jeff Lemires voice is present throughout which leads to some interesting twists and turns. Diego Olortegui matches Lemires energy in his art with wonderful colors from Luis Guerrero. This creative team is an excellent fit and delivers exactly what a JSA book needs to be today. Read Full Review

We see the disappearance of the JSA veterans, but more questions are raised than answered, but it's all still an engaging read. Read Full Review

JSA #2puts the question after the answer with a flashback-heavy issue that sets up most of the fallout from issue #1. It's unclear why Jeff Lemire chose to put the cart before the horse in terms of plot, but the issue compensates with big action and plenty of twists to hold your attention. Plus, the art team's output is decent enough, but the same team produced better visuals in last year's Jay Garrick miniseries.6.5/10 Read Full Review

Overall, JSA #2 is better than issue #1, but mostly structurally. This issue makes #1 almost unnecessary except for the reveal about Obsidian/ Johnny Sorrow. There are still character bits that feel off and a sense of "we've done this already, but not in a fun nostalgic way. Two issue's in this series needs more focus on character and less reliance on plot. Read Full Review

I'm a huge fan of Lemire. I just love his grounded characterisation and family dynamic approach. A winner for me.

I like the team, or two teams that are in this arc. I'm just confused by this issue about the placement of the flashback and why we needed it. The pacing was incongruent and didn't really move the story forward at all. The floating people was a cool twist that went nowhere. I hope Jeff can get back on track in the next issue.
