Agreed. Though the tardiness of the book is a drag, it's not a deal-breaker for me. Story over anything else. This reminds me of the publishing gap between James Robinson's classic The Golden Age #2 and #3. As I recall, it was a loooong wait between issues. Now, all of these years later, what comes to mind when thinking of that evergreen is just how beautifully written and illustrated it was, not how long folks had to wait. I feel that the passage of time will be similarly kind to Johns and his latest run on JSA; wish we weren't losing him, but I wish him well and only hope DC can find a suitable replacement (Jeremy Adams, anyone?).
