Johns Is Off JSA - Who Should Take Over?

[Riv86672]

Yeah but what of the Ghost Machine announcements feels like similarities to those characters?

I am unfamiliar with GI Robot and Atomic Knight so its not as evident to me.

^^^Junkyard Joe was pretty obviously GI Robot…


I’m guessing Geiger is the Atomic Knight expy…

…though it didn’t keep my attention long enough for me to personally make the connection.

I don't care, just make it good.

Unfortunately, that may be easier said than done . . .

There is a good chance DC will just shelve the JSA after Geoff Johns leaves.

If they continue to publish it after, I like the idea of giving it to Kurt Busiek.

Robert Venditti could do a great job in it too, imo, I loved his Hawkman and his Wesley Dodds: The Sandman had a good first issue.

Hickman apparently had ideas both for Legion and the JSA, so if he still wants to do it, it would be something I would be curious to see.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson have done a great run in Action Comics, now that he is leaving it, sadly, DC would do well to put him in a Justice Society book.


Tom King is capable of telling some good stories, I loved his Mister Miracle and Sheriff of Babylon, but I dread to think what he could do with Carter Hall.

^^^I'd want to check that out too.

I could see Waid on JSA

[The Cool Thatguy]

I could see Waid on JSA

He has used Golden age characters pretty liberally.

He used them in JLA Year 1, and in Kingdom Come to fill out scenes

I could see Waid on JSA

Apparently Waid has said he has no interest in JSA.

[BatmanJones]

Apparently Waid has said he has no interest in JSA.

Yep, on a Word Balloon podcast this very month I think. He said it was curious that the JSA was the one DC property he'd never quite been able to connect with or have any ideas for, that he'd tried but hadn't been able. I'm paraphrasing of course but I think the podcast is linked a page or two back in this thread.

Will we ever get an explanation for how Geoff Johns can justify all those newly created "Golden Age" characters and how all those tubes wound up in the control of Rip Hunter and his team?

Even if you try to blame the time displacements of the sidekicks on Childminder, there are still characters like Golden Age Aquaman, Golden Age Red Lantern, etc. that are suddenly there.

Robert Venditti or Gail Simone.

GA Red Lantern can probably just be explained by the fact he just wasn't mentioned until recently. His being around doesn't seem to negate anything else.

Should get Alex Ross and allow him to do what he wants.

^^^We’d def. get some kick ass covers.

He only draws the real JSA these days
