Grade 6 Up—The subtitle of this collection is somewhat misleading as only the first half of the book involves the titular characters. It is a transitional volume of sorts, marking the end of Johns's celebrated 26-issue run with an exciting conclusion to a Shazam family crisis. Ordway's short, two-issue story that follows serves as little more than filler, as Bill Willingham (of Fables fame) would take over in issue 29, continuing as the book's writer to the present. Black Adam is also misleading in its indication that it is a self-contained story arc, when it is actually the fifth volume of the current incarnation of Justice Society. Considering Johns's reputation, it's important to have the previous four volumes in the series for the sake of continuity. While perhaps not as central a series to the DC Universe as the "Batman" or "Green Lantern" titles, JSA has a rich cast of unique, often underrated superheroes—and with a capable writer like Johns at the helm, the series gives even the most well-known characters' books a serious run for their money.—Jason M.

Geoff Johns JSA finale
By dishpandan
When the Black Marvels are written well they are an enthralling group of characters. Teth Adam in particular is very complex under Johns and the return of Isis adds more interesting depth to his outcome. I really enjoyed this collection and would recommend it if you liked any of his previous JSA volumes or the Black Adam solo mini-series. There are a lot of players involved here so that can make you lost -- it's best if this volume is where you end instead of where you start. The plot will also have a great deal more impact if you are familiar with and attached to these people. While not a must, it helps if you have also read Infinite Crises and 52, since this kind of builds on some events that happened there. Even having read all those, I have not read Captain Marvel, so I was a little confused with some of the recent changes in that mythos. But overall it was well worth the purchase. I am pleased that rather than break up the collections between the end of Geoff Johns' run and the start of Jerry Ordway's, DC included the first few issues of the next storyline here so that you can get a taste of the new creative team. Excellent idea!

Johns takes off, Ordway runs in place, Willingham waits in the wings
By H. Bala
Disappointed with the lack of team cohesion during the went-on-forever Gog/Magog/Kingdom Come snoozefest, the core members of the JSA are deliberating whether the roster should be downsized. Meanwhile, we catch up with what's going on with young Billy Batson (who is now the guardian wizard-in-residence on the Rock of Eternity) and also with Black Adam and his efforts to rescue his resurrected wife Isis from the sicko hands of Felix Faust. Faust gets what's coming to him, and Black Adam and Isis reunite and turn their attention to amassing their power base. They start out by attempting to steal the Rock of Eternity's mystical mojo. Isis inadvertently teleports Billy Batson to Fawcett City and, with the writers recalling whose series this is, the JSA swoops in to help the now powerless Billy.
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA: BLACK ADAM AND ISIS collects issues #23-28 as the ongoing series goes thru its changing of the guard. Geoff Johns hangs around long enough to collaborate with Jerry Ordway in the Black Adam and Isis arc, although, much like Johns seemed to have been indulging Alex Ross in the Thy Kingdom Come arc, here he seems to be humoring Jerry Ordway. The Black Adam & Isis plot, as other folks have already mentioned, feels like a pick up of plot threads from 52 and the BLACK ADAM: THE DARK AGE mini-series, from COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS to FINAL CRISIS, and even from Ordway's POWER OF SHAZAM! Many pages go by in which the JSA is pretty much relegated to supporting role status.
The now embittered Isis longs to recreate a Black Marvel family which will "destroy the modern worlds and all the sins it festers with." Not too surprisingly, Mary Marvel - plumb loca, pink-haired and gigged out in a black-leather dominatrix outfit - is recruited and the corrosion of her character can't help but still creep me out. A fourth member soon joins the Black Marvels, and the JSAers soon have more than they can handle. Until the inevitable deus ex machina appears, which, by the way, feels rather contrived and threatens to undermine the latest changes in the Marvel family mythos (I'm looking at you, Freddy Freeman).
I don't know that I can pinpoint it all that well, but this arc falls a bit flat for me. I think partly it's because this feels more like a Black Marvels story more so than a JSA story. Also, I wasn't ever down with poor Billy Batson losing his Captain Marvel gig and getting "promoted" as the new wizard languishing on the Rock of Eternity. And I guess I also don't like Isis having become this hardcore scourge of humanity. And, with Atom-Smasher officially regaining membership status, it leaves even less time to focus on the new recruits, who barely get face time in this arc. On the good side, Stargirl is featured a bit and shares a nice moment with Billy Batson, hearkening to their innocent "romance" back in the day when Captain Marvel was a JSAer.
If this had been Geoff Johns' farewell story, I don't know that I would've called it going out on a high. But his swan song, issue #26, turns out to be a terrific little story featuring Stargirl, a character for whom Johns clearly has great affection. No super-villains in this one or world-ending catastrophes, although teenager Courtney Whitmore (a.k.a. Stargirl) does start the story off by wailing: "Black Adam Ruined My Birthday!" This is Geoff Johns' coda and, as the JSA and friends celebrate Courtney's surprise birthday party, we're treated to a series of wonderful little character moments, and we're left with that warm, feel-good sensation. And *that* is going out on a high. My favorite moments have to do with Starman's hilarious concept of "birthday presents" and Courtney's hugging it out with her step-dad - and if you're aware of Courtney and Stripesy's sometimes adversarial relationship, then this is an absolutely emotional scene. Alex Ross's evocative cover also doesn't hurt. Dale Eaglesham's interior art for this issue definitely doesn't hurt. Starman gets in the last word, and it is perfect.
Fully written and pencilled by Jerry Ordway, the two-part ghost story in issues #27 and 28 isn't bad, but it feels like a filler. The JSA confronts the vengeful spirit of a World War 2 supervillain, and, as usual with supernatural activities, the Spectre pokes his pasty white nose in. Trust issues resurface when the JSA's brownstone headquarters in Battery Park is at first alarmingly sealed off by Obsidian and then attacked by a ghost. This is followed by time travel as select members of the JSA are snatched back to 1945 Japan to face retribution. There's a nice twist at the end which almost makes up for the hohumness of the story.
Capping things off is the six-paged backup feature "Origins & Omens," as Scar, the messed-up Guardian of the Universe, casts a dark eye on the JSA and predicts doom and gloom for the team's future. And, apparently suffering from Legion-envy, the JSA decides to expand its roster even more.
I can't wait until Bill Willingham takes over the series. If anyone can revitalize the JSA, it's that dude. Concerning this one, I think that the Black Adam & Isis arc and the WW2 ghost story merit a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, but the inclusion of the Stargirl birthday bash kicks it up to an overall rating of 3.5 stars. Because you can never ever go wrong with having more of Stargirl.

A complete waste of time
By Nicholas Ribera
After just finishing 52, I was all like "hell yeah I want to read more shenanigans of Black Adam!" Unfortunately, this book contains about 10% black adam stuff while the rest is random adventures not at all tied together much like a 1940's JSA issue would be. Also in that caliber is the writing that ensues- most characters only speak in catch phrases and few of them actually have any insightful dialogue.
Worse, though, for me, is the art. While in itself it's not bad, it is just so incredibly static. There is no sense of action in the pages, it's like everyone poses to get heir pictures taken, and there is hardly any use of dramatic angles or perspective. the pacing is also very random, often leaving you looking at two panels over and over again trying to find out how we are going from A to B. You do not get the sense of a film camera moving through a set that really helps a comic to flow in an easy to read form. The only exception is the second issue, which has more dynamic movement and clothing. You feel like the characters are actually moving as they speak, not just frozen in suspended animation with their mouth agape. Plus, the POV pans and tilts from eye level, making the scene much more identifiable.
Overall, this was a misleading title and misleading cover and I wish I had not bought it.
