JSA Appreciation 2021

[Jekyll]

Not so much a "shakeup editorially" as a person in power annoyed by the then current Justice Society of America series with a bunch of old guys running around and acting heroically (at least that's what I seem to remember hearing at some point in time).

So not much has changed since then?

Well, the good news is I think it has changed since then. The bad news is that I think it's gotten worse.

JSA on the cover of SUPER TEAM FAMILY #4.

That issue reprinted the Justice Society of America story originally in All Star Comics #33 (February-March 1947)

If you had the job of writing an ongoing series for either Doctor Mid-Nite (Pieter Cross), Hourman II or Sandy Hawkins. What kind of villains would use? Would their rogues gallery have a theme?

The challenge with Doctor Mid-Nite is differentiating him from Marvel's Daredevil. Now although the original Mid-Nite preceded DD, Marvel's version has gotten much more exposure. My take would be to use him as a hero for the little guy, fighting the fights for the general public much as the general practitioner does.

Hourman's struggles with addiction and his appearance as a villain himself with pharma price gouging sets him up as a hero fighting white collar crime.

As for Sandy Hawkins, I've got nothing better than copying Sandman Mystery Theater. Obviously updating stories for the 21st century, but the style is set and perfect.

But Sandy Hawkins shouldn't be treated as just a clone of Wes Dodds.

Geoff Johns seemed to be going down that route for the post-Infinite Crisis version of The Justice Society of America, but was that really an improvement for Sandy?

[D.Z]

Yeah it was.

If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it, but like I said, I do not have a better idea.

Do you think this will enough DC to push more JSA contents?

[John Venus]

I hope so.

So far I've gotten nothing but good vibes from the Black Adam production.

The JSA should focus on their more unique members and not the ones with JL counterparts. Dr Fate, Hourman (Rex and Rick), Wildcat (Ted and Yolanda), Dr Midnight, Mr Terrific, Stargirl, Cyclone, Atom Smasher, Sandman…etc
