It all comes down to this as the Justice Society of America faces off against Vandal Savage and three literal constellations he has called down from the heavens. Savage is a little upset though as the constellations have taken on the forms of television characters, the creatures having absorbed so much energy and much of that from the various television waves, as such, they could not help being influenced by what they took into themselves. The JSA find it a little comical, both the larger-than-life TV reflections and the way Savage is comporting himself. Anger aside, Savage lashes out and the battle is on. This final issue written by Len Strazewski and drawn once more by Grant Miehm finds the team in good spirits considering what has happened during the last seven issues. The book speeds along at a good pace accordingly, each one of the JSA managing to get in a few good shots. It is not until a returning Starman, much to the surprise of everybody involved including Savage, that the tide is truly turned and together, the team gets rid of the constellations, sending them back to the stars. Another surprise the creative team churns out is the final fate of Savage and Grundy, though saying final means they would never return and in the realm of the comic books, villains always manage to return somehow. There is an afterward that finds the team winding down and having a couple of laughs and it is here that Starman officially rejoins the team, hoping to have future adventures much like the readers want to see. The series taken as a whole was a lot of fun. A nice, light adventure that finds the Justice Society doing what they do best and that is exactly what they needed after being away from the spotlight for so long. There is a letter from a fan that thanks the creative team for making such a breezy tale, one unlike any of the plot-heavy and darker books that were being published at the time. This title was more for kids than most would find on the stands at the time and was a strong selling point towards picking it up. For those who are used to more dialogue and plot-driven stories, this series might seem a little lacking but it was anything but. It is a palette-cleanser in the perfect sense and one cannot help but love everything about this book, from the casual humour or the banter between old friends or the dastardly dreams of a tyrant looking to make a comeback. All in all, it may not have been a page-turner in the strictest sense, but it was highly enjoyable from start to finish, and that is all that matters.
