Heart-racing Superhero Action,
By
This review is from: JSA: Darkness Falls (Paperback)
If I was a paid movie-reviewer I would probably described the book like this, "the stereotyped cheese-factor plaguing most superhero comics is trimmed back far enough leaving only an exciting and adrenaline fueled thrill-ride as only the most action-packed blockbusters within the comic medium could deliver!"
I'm being totally serious when I say that I totally feel that way about this comic. It seems to me that a lot of the superhero comics lately are more about "pushing the story" which seems to trade action for long drawn out emotional dialogue and arguments with small amounts of action everyone now and then(New Avengers, anyone?). I'm not saying this is a bad thing but sometimes the appeal of a superhero comic is the excitement that only super powered beings can deliver. This book delivers. The book kicks off with a confrontation from a mentally unstable Black Adam. Then there is an emotionally grueling battle of Alan Scott's son, Obsidian and his Shadow World take-over that becomes extremely epic, chaotic, and has a climatic finish. Wildcat's encounter with the Injustice Society is my personal favorite arc in the trade and more (but I'll leave the rest to be a surprise.) I hope I'm not spoiling anything when I say Dr. Midnight makes a valiant return here. This trade collects issues #6-15 of the JSA revamp written by David Goyer and Geoff Johns. I totally dug this trade and love it when a comic gets my adrenaline going. This is superhero action the way it is supposed to be. Solid read. Pick this up! [...]

Just the right amount of nostalgia and newness!!,

This review is from: JSA: Darkness Falls (Paperback)
This is a daunting task if you are not a big DC Comics historian. It can be overwhelming. If you can power through that, there is a really terrific story with fantastic art. Readers who already know their DC history would love this I would assume. The drawbacks, of course, are the vast amount of characters and villains to keep track of. The stories in the trade are a few smaller storylines that come together to form one collection. My biggest beef with this isn't on the creative side. There are a ton of typos and no page breaks to let you know a particular story or issue is over. It isn't put together well but the overall enjoyment level of it is high.

Goyer continues on JSA,
By Zauriel (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JSA: Darkness Falls (Paperback)
In this volume we get a pretty good couple of stories. The first half of the story is devoted to OBsidian, the son of Alan Scott. When Obsidian goes bad Alan Scott feels it is his responsibility to take his own son out and you get to see several members greatest mistakes and regrets.
The second half is dedicated to a mission with the whole universe's fate as the price. The story evolves into a struggle of epic proportions with the JSA with thier back to the wall and thier forces depleted. The story is great and Goyer continues to do a great job managing the characters and giving equal face time to each.
