Is Justice Society Of America #12 Good?
Uhh, okay. In the
nicest
way possible, Justice Society of America #12 is filler. It’s a sweet filler that gives you warm fuzzies, but this issue doesn’t qualify as a story or an epilogue to the miniseries. Geoff Johns took the opportunity to say Stargirl is great, and that’s it.
When last we left the JSA in
Justice Society Of America #11
, the gang suddenly found themselves in a heated fight with the Legion over the right to take their latest recruit, young Mordru, into custody for crimes in the future.
The team quickly discerned
the sudden aggression was a result of
Eclipso’s influence, so the teams shook off the villain’s possession and found a new home for the Time-displaced Huntress and her recruits in the future.
In Justice Society Of America #12, we catch up with a Blue Valley Little League game interrupted by Stargirl and STRIPE battling members of the Injustice Society. As the battle progresses, Courtney, aka Stargirl, narrates her understanding of the ups and downs of life.
The comic cuts away from the battle with a montage of scenes showing the ups and downs of Courtney’s life, from her biological father’s departure to developing a fatherly bond with Pat.
The issue ends by showing the whole comic was a thoughtful interpretation of Courtney’s Valedictorian speech at her High School graduation.
There’s not much to critique because there’s not much here. Rather than end the egregiously delayed JSA title with a proper finale, Geoff Johns took the opportunity to pen a one-shot love letter to his creation, famously inspired by Johns’s late sister, Courtney Elizabeth Johns.
Therefore, it’s tough to say anything other than it’s
a ridiculously sweet
and heartfelt comic, but it has nothing to do with the JSA. What you choose to do with that information is up to you.

Final Thoughts
Justice Society Of America #12
ends the long-delayed maxiseries with a one-shot love letter to Stargirl as she gives her Valedictorian speech during graduation. Todd Nauck’s art is aces, and Geoff Johns writes his favorite character with more heart than a single comic can hold, but this isn’t a JSA comic, and there’s no story. Make of that what you will.
