    Heck, I could even buy the magic mumbojumbo — they don't have to mention the ties to WW II all the time — if the stories were good, but it just seems like DC can't find anyone who can make the series work. I liked Willingham's arc but it really read more like an elseworld story. Non-JSA characters were as essential to the story as the JSA.

    Robinson's JSA-JLA team-up wasn't terrible, but it was nothing to get excited about either.

    The JSA All-Stars book started off poorly to me so I dropped it.

    Honestly, I would like to see either period JSA stories from the 1940s or a JSA book picking up where the stories left off on Earth II prior to Crisis. Not Infinity Inc, but JSA, starring Huntress and Powegirl, Robin and whoever else. It could be done now under the 52 universe umbrella.

    Huntress was a far better character as Batman's daughter and Power Girl's always going to be a third-fiddle character on an earth with Superman and Supergirl.

    Why bring the multiverse back if they're not going to use it or only let Morrison use it for some long-delayed miniseries that will likely never see the light of day with all the editorial shakeups that are happening.

    The Superhero city idea just sounds dumb to me. Too many mutants mucked up the X-Men for me. It's kind of the same here.
    The team is too large now IMO and is unmanageable.....I can understand the idea of the "legacy" hero but in the case of the JSA you have characters that have been around since the 40s...retire them and carry on with the younger heroes, keeping the old guard as advisors. It just seems ridiculous to me that guys that should be in their late 80s-early 90s by now are continously kept young through magic or some nonsense. I know this is comic books but it really pushes the envelope for me. I'm as big a fan of the JSA as the next guy but it really does these characters an injustice by keeping them around in this form.

    In JLA he was in it because of the Starheart thing. He was back in the old suit in the first issue of the latest JSA arc, when he was beat down and paralyzed. Haven't read past the first issue of the arc.

    Meh... not impressed at all. It looks awkward, and offers nothing new. CTC summed it up well. He doesn't even look like he can turn his head.

    Absolutely horrible...the Golden Age GL is my favorite character and this...bah! I expect him to start singing about how he needs a heart from the Wizard!

    I agree the JSA has been terrible since Johns leeft - the Willingham stuff was cr@p, the Robinson crossover with JLA ridiculous, now the abominable art of scott Kolins. I've collected JSA books forever, but I'm not buying the poorly done All-Stars book, and I think the main title may be headed to the dumper as well. When I decide I need 'em to keep up the numbering, I'm positive I'll find them all in the quarter bins.

    looks like Dan Didio's plan to revive every lame-***** storyline from the '80s & 90s might just be getting around to the Death of the JSA event.

    Oh, and please kill off the stupid lightning bolt girl.

    That's horrible....and Scott Kolins art doesn't help matters any....I don't even know why DC is still publishing JSA anyway....it's pretty much been sputtering and floundering since Geoff Johns left the book....

    That Jay Garrick Flash look actually goes back to the 70's

    this armor is actually worse than the kingdom come unform

    he is wearing his lantern....does that mean he does not have to worry about recharging his ring? it looks ridiculous.

    I don't follow Green Lantern too closely but has any superhero had more makeovers than him over the years...including origin stories?

    He was just in the Kingdom come outfit before this new change too.
    I dunno if I like it. I'd have to see someone else draw it, but Kolins.

    He was paralyzed a couple of issues ago. The new uni is moving him toward his kingdom come version, imo. Kind of a Sir Gawain and the Green Knight type of thing.
