Some thoughts about Justice Society of America #7

Is the Justice Society of America ready for new members?

Mister Terrific believes there can be second chances even for their former enemies. However, even their new recruits can prove to be too problematic to handle.

This is pretty much what you can expect from your classic Geoff Johns book.

A new chapter arrives and there are many references to continuity which is pretty fitting for this kind of book. Johns doesn't really bother to explain what is still part of DC canon or isn't but still focuses on important moments from history to tell interesting character development like when Icicle helped the JSA or more interestingly, how Jean Loaring is still mentally unstable after the events in Identity Crisis and even her time as the host of Eclipso which of course connects to the ongoing plot.

Unfortunately, I don't feel like the plot itself progressed that much. There character development is there (particularly the conflict between Salem and Khalid) but this doesn't really affect the story which I'm still not sure where is actually going (and this is especially worrying because Johns is supposed to leave the title fairly soon).

Marco Santucci handles the art and is pretty solid with expressive characters and precise storytelling.

Decent read but I wish there was more content overall.
