Return of The Justice Society (Spoilers!)
A follow up to the Justice Society TP Vol. 1, this compilation completes the run of the reprinted All-Star Comics reboot of the 70's. Wisely marketed by DC to cash in on their Infinite Crisis mini-series (and by association, Earth-2) Justice Society: Volume 2 includes editor's notes that originally referered readers to companion series of the time which featured Powergirl and company, but have been updated to refer readers to recently released companion TP compilations. Though possibly considered above average artwork and writing for DC Comics of that bygone era, the page/panel compositions at times seem crowded and character anatomies seem contorted into awkward poses. The scripts, especially the captions, seem dated. Still, this book, along with Justice Society: Volume 1, The Huntress and Powergirl TPs, are pure nostalgia and must-haves for any Earth-2 completist's collection. Included are the final story arcs which originally appeared in Adventure Comics #s 461 to 466 after...
Classic Tales of the World's First Superhero Team
The second volume of JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA reprints the JSA's last few adventures in ALL-STAR COMICS (67-74) and their brief run in the pages of ADVENTURE COMICS (461-466). These stories of heroism, tragedy, and the family dynamic inherent in a multi-generational superhero team are still very readable and thoughtful, with excellent dialogue and wonderful art by Joe Staton, the "Earth-Two" artist for DC in the late 70s. Of particular interest is the JSA vs. JSA story from #69, which introduced the Huntress, and the story from ADVENTURE #462, which features the death of the Golden Age Batman. Highly recommended for everyone, but particularly those fans who have rediscovered the JSA in the pages of the current comics.
Woo-hoo, more Earth-2!
THE JUSTIC SOCIETY VOLUME 2 collects more of the adventures of the original Earth-2 super-team. These are DC's Golden Age heroes and villains, written as if they had aged somewhat consistently into the `70s. Clark Kent is now editor of the Daily Star, Bruce Wayne is police commissioner of Gotham City, and new heroes such as Power Girl and the Huntress join other still-active members of the Justice Society. These fun stories are written by Paul Levitz, with art by Joe Staton. Unfortunately, there are no inks from Wally Wood this time around. Rest in peace, Wally. Collected here are All-Star Comics #68 - 74 and Adventure Comics #461 - 466, featuring battles with the classic villains Psycho-Pirate, Thorn, the first Huntress, Sportsmaster, Fredric Vaux, and others. Also featured is the death of the Earth-2 Bruce Wayne. Now don't yell at me for ruining the surprise - it's actually essential that you know this ahead of time. The reason is that the stories are not...

I couldn't have been more surprised
If you're a fan of DC's JSA, you owe it to yourself to read THE JUSTICE SOCIETY VOLUME 1 trade paperback. Collecting ALL-STAR COMICS #58-67, plus the origin of the JSA from DC SPECIAL #29, this book presents the "modern" pre-Crisis adventures of the Earth-2 Justice Society, with the original members (Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Wildcat, Batman, and Superman) growing old and gray, and new heroes (Star-Spangled Kid and Power Girl) joining the team. Truthfully, I wasn't expecting much in terms of the writing, but Paul Levitz and Gerry Conway crafted some amazingly tight, fast-paced stories, and the narration is excellent. It's interesting to see how these heroes developed in "real-time" on Earth-2, with Clark Kent becoming editor of the Daily Star, and Bruce Wayne becoming police commissioner of Gotham City, and Dick Grayson now the US ambassador to a more politically-representative 1970s South Africa. These classic characters deal with threats to their personal lives,...
Best JSA Comic Collection
The JUSTICE SOCIETY: VOLUME 1 is a masterpiece collection that can be enjoyed reading over and over. I'm more of a Marvel person than D.C. comics person, but this is one of the best collections of D.C. comics yet - the 1970s JSA is the best drawn and most entertaining of all the years JSA have existed. By the way, this collection in VOLUME 1 has already been produced as a small D.C. digest-size book a long time ago. I had it when I was a kid in the 80s, so I assume that it was made in the 1970s or early 80s. Since I have not read this since I was a kid, I'm glad to have found this collection again, since I had no idea what exact issues VOLUME 1 were from.
Forget What The Editorial Review Says!
That's right, you can forget what the editorial review says about this collection. Contrary to that writer's opinions (and let's keep in mind they are just opinions) many comic book readers, especially those of the 70's when these stories were originally published, don't want to be empathetic with the characters and do want them to be super all of the time. That writer obsiously did not grow up in this time period when people read comics because they were fun, not because the characters had emotional depth because they were fighting drug addictions, sexual confusion, or childhood abuse issues while trying to be superheroes. Also, there were a lot of readers then, just as now, who got sick of DC's big name characters like Superman and Batman. They were both featutred in so many titles you couldn't swing a stick in a drug store (there were no comic shops back then) and not hit one of their books. Lots of readers loved titles like the revived All Star Comics that gave us less...

The New Series Starts Off With Heart AND A Bang!
Geoff Johns is one of the hardest working writers in the DC Comics universe. Especially now that the universe there contains 52 worlds, some of which have yet to be explored. But he's the guy I'd definitely want taking me on the tour. Johns has a gift of seeing the iconic heroes, a way of peeling down through decades of stories about them, to strip them to their bare bones. Once he's hit bedrock, he rebuilds them in exactly the way they were originally created and somehow brings them into our world and our NOW in ways we haven't seen before. He can take a hero that's been around for generations and introduce him or her to today's readers in a way that makes those readers think the heroes were just created for them now. I've followed his runs on the Flash and Hawkman, and now in the pages of Green Lantern. But the greatest achievement Johns has ever done, in my humble opinion, was bringing the Justice Society of America to pre-eminence to comic book fans...
Geoff Johns does the JSA justice...
All I can say is...WOW. These are the greatest JSA stories I have read since the All Star Squadron in the eighties, and it's WAY better than any superhero fare out there at the moment. Johns and artist Dale Eaglesham have captured the spark of the JSA that made it such an appealing title ever since it debuted in the 1940's and was revitalized years later. It requires no backtracking or Wikipedia searches if you are a newcomer to the Justice Society (unless you become a fanatic like me), and old-time fans will find familiar characters as well as new ones here to enjoy along with numerous villains from the team's past. In this slim but excellent hardcover collection the team's roster includes classic characters such as Hawkman (my favorite!), Wildcat (my second favorite), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), the original Flash (Jay Garrick), Dr. Mid-Night, Hourman, and Power Girl (arguably not a brand new character, but she wasn't around in the forties). The new members are Damage (related to...
The JSA reborn
After the cataclysmic events of Infinite Crisis, the Justice Society of America (AKA the world's first superhero team) disbanded. Now, after taking on former member gone rogue Black Adam in World War III, the JSA is back together again. Original Flash Jay Garrick, original Green Lantern Alan Scott, Wildcat, Hawkman, Mr. Terrific, Power Girl, Hourman, Liberty Belle, Dr. Mid-Nite, Sandman, Stargirl, Damage, Cyclone, Starman, and Obsidian make up the new lineup of heroes, who unite just in time as someone is hunting down blood descendants of former and current members (not to mention paying intelligent homage to Mark Waid and JSA cover artist Alex Ross' Kingdom Come). Superhero writer extraordinaire Geoff Johns (Infinite Crisis, Green Lantern, Flash) is back at the helm of JSA, and be glad he is. Johns weaves a nice, twisty plot while he re-invigorates some old heroes and villains for a new DC universe, which only furthers the notion that he's one of the best mainstream superhero...

"The cat, who has been named "Bow," was a stray that lived in the area, where neighbors often fed and checked on him. When they didn't see him for a few days they began to worry," according to Fox17 . Last week a woman familiar with the cat found him. He had been shot with a bow and arrow. "The arrow entered in the cat's face, went through his throat, and the tip protruded through and out past his right shoulder," said the report. Carol's Ferals reported, on a web page dedicated to posting medical updates on Bow , "that after suffering from the horrific injury – Bow had emergency surgery, and once stabilized, was transferred to the care of their vet, where he is now recovering and will eventually

New/Old Comic Book Characters for the Justice Society of America?

Melissa A asks: Just an idea I had.
What are some characters from old comic books from the 30s and 40s that could be put into the current run of DC Comics Justice Society of America?
I was thinking of two characters from Quality Comics in particular.

zippy answers: Go Madam Fatal! I would love to see him team up with the original Red Tornado (Ma Hunkel), who sometimes dressed like a guy.

I think that a old grandma fighting crime is a little weird...she could break a hip. Plus Paris Hilton would be too busy making porn videos to be fighting crime...well I suppose if she flashed the bad guys they'd all melt

How is it that the Huntress has returned to the Justice Society of America?

supergeek87 asks: I thought that she was erased, along with the multiple earth system.

Tony the Rogue Warrior answers: After the Crisis on Infinite Earths mini series/ reboot of the DC Universe, they brought out a new Huntress (Helena Bertinelli). The Original (aka Earth-2) Huntress (Helena Wayne) was erased.
