I like how Johns pulled together old and new characters - but there’s far, far too many - each issue introduces another new member until there’s 18 main characters for the final confrontation (more than some epic crossovers)
The best issue is an injured Wildcat taking on the injustice society on his lonesome.

I’m only vaguely familiar with a lot of these characters, so it was interesting to learn about them. I could have used a breather or two in between the world ending threats. The one slightly lower stakes issue was the best one, with Wildcat defending JSA headquarters from a team of Supervillains.

There is an obsession with continuity and legacy in these stories that makes some moments down right unreadable. It's at its best when it identifies what makes old comics great and uses it to make a timeless story. The issue dedicated to Geoff Johns sister resonated with me the most.

I've never been a real big fan of of Geoff Johns as a writer - I think he falls back on violence and continuity p#rn when he's not sure what else to do - but I love the Justice Society characters and DC's once-and-future love for heroic legacies, and this series was an important touchstone in that, so I'm able to enjoy it. Maybe not as much as I'd like, but still.

Outstanding! Beautiful art and a really in-depth, well thought out story. After finishing i scanned back through and was amazed at all the story lines which tired together. I forgot a lot of the small details that worked to create this overarching arc. This is something I'll read again in the future. Looking forward to the next volume.

This comic is bad. I love the Justice Societu, and Golden Age heroes in general, more than literally any other characters save Squirrel Girl, so the fact that this comic is so rough hurts all the more. The dialogue is wooden, the art is tame and boring, and the explanations for this even or that are so feeble and inconsistent I actually laughed out loud at the bald stupidity. I guess on a certain level its entertaining, if you're one of those people who find horrible comics entertaining. Blah.

This was okay, but It took about 2/3rd of the way through until Geoff Johns showed up before it got good.
I love the Golden Age JSA, but ever since the 1980s, it’s been increasingly difficult to pretend that the 80 year olds are young and healthy enough to adventure.
This story seems to bridge the gap by giving us updated heroes. Some from the JSA, some from the 80s Infinity Inc., and some brand new people.
Anyhow, I’ll probably read the next in the series. It if doesn’t improve, I’ll give it up.
