Justice Society of America #1 also bled out of New Golden Age #1 with a team cross-timelines team forming, but not ending so well for them as seen in that debut issue with full spoilers here.

Stargirl and Red Arrow’s investigation gives them some clues to follow including the location of a mysterious island.

An island that apparently elderly Dyna-Mite is trying to get to?!

Stargirl The Lost Children #1 spoilers 10

His craft crashes on the shore, but he’s unharmed.

Stargirl The Lost Children #1 spoilers 11

In fact, he’s better than unharmed as he’s no longer elderly, but a youth again leading readers to wonder if his super-hero ring played a part in this de-aging or the island itself.

The Pulse:

The art of Todd Nauck in particular is amazing in this issue while Geoff Johns story is compelling. While there was a lot of series set-up in this issue, as is expected for limited series, and there were more word balloons than I’d like, the action, intrigue and strong character moments propelled the issue. I’ll be back for issue #2. 7 out of 10.
