Jerry Ordway has been hanging around the ol' Justice Society of America ranch in recent months, and I for one couldn't be happier. He's best known as an artist, having turned in excellent runs on books like All-Star Squadron, The Power of Shazam, The Adventures of Superman and Infinity, Inc., to name a few. His art is clear, strong and has echoes of the great Wally Wood.
He's also proven himself to be a darn good writer, most notably on his Shazam run. So it's good to see him here, writing and penciling the latest adventure of the JSA.
The book kicks off in style, as several menaces seem to threaten our heroes at once - including one tied to the team's early days. It's also nice to see another Golden Age character putting in a surprise appearance on the last page.
Any fan of the original Infinity, Inc. - or just good comic storytelling - will enjoy this issue.
Grade: B+
