Justice Society of America Appreciation 2023

[MajorHoy]

I mean it is definitely Mikel Janin’s art but it kind of feels like it just popped up. Unless I missed a reveal.

When they originally solicited #4, they had a different image, a variant cover by Jay Hero.

Wait where did this come from?

Maybe it could be a solicit?

Please tell me the Dark Knight bs where Supers and Bats must fight isn't coming to the JSA now. Can't we just have some friendships that are inviolate.

I think it’s probably more to do with someone else named Helena Wayne as Huntress showing up given Karen’s history.

Nothing is inviolate.

I found the image on twitter

Nice, but what's with the lightning effect? Is it just to show how fast she's moving? It does seem that only Jay is actually responding to her, and even that is limited to his expression, which seems to show that he knows what's happening, but can't do anything about it. I will just assume there's an explanation for all this...

Are Power Girl's powers being altered in Lazarus Planet or something?

[Frontier]

Looks like Karen and Helena are starting off on a rougher foot...

Also Power Girl in pants.

I mean she does have telepathic powers now along with her usual set so yes actually. She’s been hanging out with Omen in the backups of Action Comics giving out therapy. Those backups also lead in to her one-shot special out in May.

Yeah, that happened January in Action Comics

Yeah, she probably remembers the original 1970s version, and thinks this Helena is an imposter. When, of course, she's actually from the future, and therefore isn't the Helena she knew pre-Crisis and isn't pretending to be. A quick use of her new powers will sort it out, I'm sure.

Some interesting details from the cover to #5. Assuming it's a group shot, and not a random assortment of JSA-related characters. Solomon Grundy at the bottom of the page. Al Pratt. Spectre. And who is the woman to the left of Hawkman?

Isn’t that Ruby from the future in the first issue?

[Digifiend]

Yeah, the daughter of Red Lantern. She's probably the same age as Jade and therefore exists in the present day without needing a time travel origin like Huntress.

[WonderScott]

I took the lightning effect in that cover to reference time travel or Hypertime energies.
