I’m the reviewer, and I’m telling you how it read to me. Also, if what you said is true, why make this a “#1″ issue? Why mislead people into buying this issue if they can’t follow along. This is, after all, a stand alone issue. That’s why the book got a lower grade. I don’t blame Tomasi – I blame DC editorial and marketing for making a decision to mislead potential readers into a quagmire of a story. The $3.99 price point doesn’t help the grade, either (more pages or not).

I don’t think this comic, or most DC comics for that matter, claims to be a good “jumping on point.” If you’re not current with JSA, is pretty much invalidates your review.

Imagine reviewing a random issue of, say, Avengers : The Initiative, without reading the last 5 or 6. Wouldn’t make much sense, since that series also does not claim to be anything but a very sequential story. Having to read every issue is pretty much an inherent expectation of such titles. Poor review.
