What can I say? I love the characters utilized in JSA. Sure, Ghost Stories
isn’t as great as some of the other collected editions of this series,
but it’s a nice read and it’s fun to have Paul Levitz writing the final
arc before Geoff Johns restarts the title as Justice Society of
America. Best of all, we get to see the classic artwork of George Perez
and Jerry Ordway, as well as fan-favorite Rags Morales.
This edition gives us a bit of an insight in the Gentleman Ghost,
and while I’d never really felt the urge to learn more about this
villain, I didn’t mind it. There was some confusion as this arc takes
place during DC’s One Year Later event, so we don’t know some of what
they’re referring to. Such things are being revealed in the 52
storyline taking place even as I type.
Anyway, I read comics for enjoyment and so I’m willing to set little frustrations like that aside and simply take pleasure in Ghost Stories for what it is. It’s always pleasurable to see art by Perez as well as Ordway.
Although DC President & Publisher
Paul Levitz is better known by many for his present job, there are
still plenty of fans around who remember him first and foremost as a
comic book writer, one who had a cool stint on the 1970s revival of
All-Star Comics and a highly respected run on Legion of Super-Heroes.
For the first time in way too long, 2006 saw Levitz put the writer's
hat back on to tackle a six-issue arc of JSA, the last of the that
particular series featuring the world's first superhero team. The
result was a wild, entertaining ride through the origin of the
Gentleman Ghost and visitations with the team's past. A must for JSA
fans!
