Lemire mentioned that He really enjoyed writing Beth, which he didn't expect, but, honestly, she just seemed kind of bland to me in this issue. I do have fond memories of her and Rick's first appearance back in the day, though, so she's a character I want to like.

Interesting. I had a similar experience, years ago, the first time I wrote... ...Imra Ardeen in one of my Legion fics. Since then, I'm a fan of hers.
Beth and Rick are characters I associate with the decline of Infinity Inc, but I certainly respect your opinion.

I agree that the Crisis crossover issues of II, much like those of A-SS, were definitely signaling a decline, before the massive drop-off in quality post-Crisis, but as a kid, my reaction was excitement that my two favorite JSAers were finally getting legacies (even if their costumes were iffy), so I kind of have to root for them

Fair enough, EDE.
I can certainly sympathize. There are certain other teams and characters I feel about that way.

Well, I'm finally caught up with JSA. I ordered issue 5 a little while ago. I should have my copy by Saturday at the latest.
I'd forgotten how much fun it is to follow a monthly series.

It's nice to have a JSA series that is actually coming out monthly!

Just read #5 and it may be the best issue yet! Lots of moving pieces leading up to what seems like it's going to be an epic battle starting next issue!

Can't really add much, except that I agree 100 percent. Okay, maybe a couple things: That double splash page of Surtur advancing towards the tower of fate is awesome! Also, I came onto the Johns JSA long after it had peaked, like at the beginning of 2005, and the climax to the time-travel battle against Per Degaton. So maybe I'm inclined to enjoy the Lemire relaunch more, since it's new and fresh. And having said that, it has everything I remember liking about the Johns run, and none of the things I disliked. Next issue comes out right around my birthday. I'm chuffed!
