This was one of James Robinson's best works. He excels at taking little used characters (especially Golden Age ones) and making them human and more relevent for the reader. For the first time I have encountered the JSA they felt more then the cardboard heroes that they have been portrayed as before. Although the plot is not horribly original, they are enough twists and mysteries to keep you guessing. If you are a fan of Starman and want a little bit of a mroe realistic edge on your superheroes, give this a shot.
