After a year-long introduction to the new Justice Society of America series that’s set today, writer Jeff Lemire, artist Gavin Guidry and friends take us back to 1940 for a look at the team’s beginnings.

Now here’s a cover, from Leonardo Romero, that promises classic adventure with the Justice Society of America, and that’s what we get inside. This issue is the culmination of the story that’s been weaving through this series for the past year, and it gave me the grins. If you’re just joining us, the Injustice Society […]

That’s a pretty great cover illo from Leonardo Romero, it’s a shame we don’t actually have any members of the Justice Society of America on it. Ah, connected covers, what can you do? Does anyone actually sit down with all the issues and stare joyously at the big picture? I tend to like them only […]

Even without the red spectacles, this is an eye-catching cover from Leonardo Romero. A couple of issues back the new Kid Eternity, who can’t remember who she was while alive, was confronted by the ghosts of Justice Society members. It made for a cracking cliffhanger- what did they want with her? But last month neither […]

Upholding the law? The Justice Society of America are pretty good at it. Upholstery? Not so much. Look at those backbreaking chairs? Checking in with the Injustice Society of America we find… … much comfier-looking seats. They’re perfect for listening to Green Lantern Alan Scott give away a big secret. ISA member Johnny Sorrow, disguised […]

In a flashback tale the Justice Society of America quest for the Spear of Destiny in Berlin and find super-villains trying to use it to summon monsters from a nether realm. First of all, though, would you look at that cover? Michael Cho uses his retro style to give us an image that wouldn’t shame […]

It’s the day of Wildcat’s funeral. His nine lives ran out during the Justice Society’s war with the Injustice Society so friends and family are saying goodbye. Feelings are running high. The Flash, Jay Garrick, is feeling the loss. Yolanda Montez, the second Wildcat, is feeling guilty. Jesse Chambers, aka Jesse Quick, is feeling lost. […]

It’s a tale of two Wildcats as the Ragnarok storyline goes on and on… I guess that’s Ragnarok for you. The original Wildcat, Ted Grant, shows fighting ability isn’t the only reason he’s been such an asset to the Justice Society of America since the beginning. He doesn’t have a magic lantern, wings or a […]

The new Injustice Society of America ambushed the JSA, determined to steal some of their magical talismans. Heroes were hurt, others retreated to the extradimensional Tower of Fate where they’ve been under siege from demons summoned by the wizard Wotan. JSA-ers who weren’t present for the assault gathered in the brownstone to puzzle over what […]
