JSA / Justice Society of America Appreciation Thread 2022 version

[Frontier]

Those are some classic covers .

[MajorHoy]

Justice League of America #37-38 (August and September of 1965) featured the introduction of a Johnny Thunder on Earth-1, the home Earth of the Justice League of America.

The Earth-1 / Earth-One Johnny Thunder would eventually return in another JLA / JSA meeting several years later . . .

[InfamousBG]

I absolutely love this entire run. It got me back into comics in 1999. I love Pieter Cross.

Dark Crisis #3

Is that a page from the story, or is it a cover / variant cover?

[Digifiend]

So they're finally back? But, why isn't Courtney with them?

Even without Stargirl they have fifteen members there though - Hawkwoman, Cyclone, Hawkman, Power Girl, Wildcat II, Jade, Green Lantern, Obsidian, Doctor Fate, Doctor Midnight, Jakeem Thunder, Mister Terrific, Wildcat, Atom Smasher and Hourman. Which includes everyone from both the Stargirl show and Black Adam movie except their title characters.

Mister Terrific actually shouldn't be there, isn't he busy helping the Flash Family - which is also why Jay Garrick and Jesse Quick aren't here?

Hated the Dr. Fate costume. But happy to see the JSA back.

Peace

I'm also happy to see the team back even if I don't love that costume.

It's basically the Johns JSA with Beth Chapel as Mid-Nite (will they write her like Pieter?) and Yolanda Wildcat because they're pushing them for the Stargirl show.

Speaking of which, where's Courtney!?

Also I wonder if Rick and Jesse are still married. I feel like I'm the only one who liked that.

Naw, married superheroes is an interesting story angle. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that.

1. I believe Jeremy Adams in the first arc showed them still together with the JSA when Wally jumper bodies 2. Jessie isn’t here because she’s going to be over in the Flash tie-in

So happy to see Khalid here

I'm glad I'm not the only person who appreciated it .

[InfamousBG]

That whole cast above looks great to me. If we are getting the JSA they look great. I am sure we will see Star Girl and Flash down the line.

So happy to see Khalid here

Though he didn't impress me much in Earth 2, I actually have nothing against the character. For me, Dr. Fate, or Nabu, is the character that matters, not the host. I like the emotionless Lord of Order. It's the costume, if you can call it that, that's really bugging me. I even prefer the overworked Brett Booth designed one that Khalid wore in Earth 2.

Oh my god, the Earth 2 costume was amazing. It sold the "immensely and otherworldly-powerful cosmic sorcerer" by visuals alone.



I'd love to see it return, even if it has to be simplified a little first to make it easier for other artists to draw (but I'll be damned if they're removing the stars)

How the hell it has not made a return yet, save its YJ counterpart, is beyond me - it is so damn good and absolutely perfect for Doctor Fate.

Agreed. This is easily Dr. Fate's best costume ever. So iconic & mystifying.
