- Graphic SF Reader
The Thunderbolt is a very powerful entity. When the Ultra-Humanite (or any other bad man) gets control of such a thing then it is Not Good At All. In big capital letters. He quickly takes over everything, and some desperate action is required by the few still free and fighting superhumans and any allies that they can round up.

Another good, solid, JSA storyline, and again worth reading.

Rating:

- Classic comics writing for the modern day
This comic and Geoff Johns continue to deliver the goods when it comes to spinning a great yarn. This isn't a post modern take or a reinvention of the superhero genre. It's just, heres a can of good old fashion comics that isn't stale, period. Eat it up!

- Watch what you wish for
Give an evil genius a genie and watch out! That's the storyline in this JSA collection. The Ultra-Humanite steals the body of Johnny Thunder and then steals the Thunderbolt from its current master, Jakeem. He then proceeds to remake the world in his own warped image. Only a few remaining heroes (and one villain) are still free to stop him. The Johns/Goyer team does a nice job of bringing back Hourman II, who finally outgrows his father's shadow and leads the team into action. The focus on Wildcat is a nice touch as well, as he personifies the "tough guy" superhero, but most welcome of all is the opportunity to see Jakeem be more than "the angry kid" character and become a hero. This story really solidifies this version of the JSA as worthy successor to the original.

- Stealing Thunder Review
JSA: Stealing Thunder is the fifth trade paperback in the JSA series and collects issues 32-38. This book tells the story of the Ultra Humanite's taking control of the Thunderbolt, a genie of immense power, and using it to take control of the world's most powerful heroes and villains. Now, it's up to the remaining members of the JSA (and some interesting new "recruits") to stop him.

This an entertaining read full of action and drama, but what makes this book really stand out is its outstanding characterization. Sure, they're superheroes with powers, but they all have very real wants, desires, and problems which makes this comic great read.
