In part three, or part five if you count the prologues, of this JLA/JSA crossover James Robinson’s story and the angles if the players seem to become more clear. How clear they are now we won’t know until it all wraps up. Whether earlier parts were purposely murky and slightly confusing or not, this issue makes me actually excited about the crossover progressing. Robinson, keep it up!

The art team, while telling a much clearer story through the panel layouts (helped by the script?), really dropped the ball on character details. The inconsistencies kept pulling me out of the stories. Problem one: Jesse Quick sometimes has her mid-section colored the same as the costume as if Bagley drew it wrong and the colorist fixed it and other times it is exposed flesh. Two: her mask sometimes has lenses and others not while in a few instances one eye you can see and the other is just fleshtoned with no eye. Three: Alan Scott also has eye consistency problems. Overall it seems rushed and between the four people doing the art (pencils, ink, colorist and second colorist) these mistakes and other seemingly unfinished features should have been caught.

Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 2 - Average
