As a movie-loving enthusiast delving into the captivating world of DC Comics, I’m thrilled to share that we’re stepping back in time with a team that ruled the roost during the legendary Golden Age. Often overshadowed by the Justice League and Titans, the Justice Society of America (JSA) is a league of extraordinary heroes with roots deeper than both.
These aren’t just superhumans banding together to safeguard humanity; they’re a family, bound by shared history and camaraderie. The JSA has been making headlines again in contemporary times, gracing the pages of DC Comics each month in Jeff Lemire’s exhilarating series under the All In initiative.
The narrative is about to take a dramatic twist as we delve deeper into the Golden Age, promising an exciting ride for fans who cherish the rich history and timeless characters of DC Universe.
Jeff Lemire revealed on his Substack that issue 13 of JSA will initiate a “Year One” narrative, taking us back to the Golden Age and unfolding an exciting new storyline detailing the early adventures of the characters who will eventually form The Justice Society of America! Accompanying Lemire in this artistic endeavor is Gavin Guidry, whom he previously worked with on the “Time Past” story featured in JSA #8. The “Year One” series will span over six issues from JSA #13 to 18.
Who Are the Justice Society of America?
If you’re not acquainted with the Justice Society of America (JSA), a group you might have encountered their members in other DC comic titles. The JSA has its own Flash (Jay Garrick) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott). You may recall Mister Terrific from your recent cinema visit to Superman, as he is also part of the JSA. Prior to the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, they were based on Earth-Two, but after this event merged all DC’s different Earths into one.
The Justice Society of America (JSA) also includes notable characters like Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Doctor Mid-Nite, Wildcat, and numerous others. This team has extended its presence beyond comic books, showing up in animated series such as “Justice League” and “Young Justice”, live-action productions including “Smallville”, “Legends of Tomorrow”, and “Stargirl”. In the latter, Stargirl forms a modern iteration of the JSA alongside her friends, significantly contributing to the plot.
Readers eager for updates about “JSA: Year One” will have to be patient as more details emerge, however, creator Jeff Lemire has shared an exclusive sneak peek – Dave Johnson’s cover art for “JSA” #13 featuring Sandman and Hourman, which is displayed above.
