I tried reading this book about 6 years ago, when I knew much less about the DC Universe, and couldn’t get through it. Now that I know a bit more about Wildcat, Starman, and other less popular characters, I was able to make sense of this book, and even enjoyed it.
The JSA was one of the DCU’s first teams, but the modern incarnation is a mix of old and young, with an emphasis on training the young. This is a pretty good idea for a book-shouldn’t the Teen Titans have supervision? This origin story isn’t extremely unique-all the heroes gather at a funeral, then embark on a mission to help a fallen/thought-dead Dr. Fate.
I’m going to try to track down more JSA books, to see if the story gets better.
