Justice Society of America: The Complete 1992 Series tpb - what?

[MajorHoy]

Since the JSA are supposedly going to be showing up in Snyder's Justice League in September, I wonder if DC may actually be getting around to finally publishing this collection in the foreseeable future?

[ComixMaven]

More than a year later, and still - nothing.

At this rate I don't believe we ever will see a collected trade of the 1992 series. Which is a shame, as those issues were delightful - light-hearted all-ages fun (which is probably what DC holds most against them, as they are not into light-hearted, or fun, or any age but their "target demographic").

The 1991 miniseries lead-up has been collected, and people are always confusing the one with the other. That one...took some getting into, because there was so much background explanation.

Maybe they're waiting for DC to release a new JSA title first, and than put it out when there is a lot of buzz about the group again?

LOL! Well at this point we will all be dead by the time that happens.

At last check, amazon.com lists:

* Justice Society of America: The Complete Series by Len Strazewski and Mike Parobeck - Hardcover – January 1, 2035

and
* Justice Society of America: The Complete 1992 Series - Paperback – December 31, 2035

Don't know if the announced animated movie with Wonder Woman and the JSA could make this a possibility again (though I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen).

By the way, due out later this month is:

So, while it's not the 1992 series itself, it is at least the limited series that was published a year before the 1992 one.

Why does that use the 2000s logo instead of the one the original issues used?

Maybe they feel it would get better recognition that way?

[Digifiend]

But if that was the case, the recent re-release of the first arc of 90s JLA should've used a recent version of the JL logo. Instead, it used a very bland new one (and removed part of Martian Manhunter's cape from the cover art while cutting out the original logo!).

How "recent"?

And maybe the choices have connections to who was in charge of what at the time? Did one get put into motion before the mass dismissals from DC and the other one after?

Honestly, I have no idea if/how DC "thinks" / "works" these days, so I can only throw out wild guesses.

They've been doing that a lot in recent years, and it's really frickin' annoying. It should be the easiest thing in the world to match the logo that appears on the cover of a collection with the actual logo used on the issues therein.

Honestly, I have no idea if/how DC "thinks" / "works" these days, so I can only throw out wild guesses.

I don't think anyone in the collected editions department is doing much thinking or working these days...

This gap stings so much more now it's the only thing missing in our 90's JSA line-ups. In fact I think we've got every series now bar it. That's aggravating, as it's one of the most enjoyable (bat my strange hatred for Starman's green hood).

[Jekyll]

You can find most all of those issues in dollar bins at comic shows or comic shops. That is how I collected them. No thanks to DC or Amazon on that one.

Sigh. We KNOW that. We're talking about a hardcover collected edition of it, which at the same time completes our collected runs of the series throughout the decades (possibly). Hence why its a big deal for many. Most of us already own the issues in question, have them repeated to heart, etc.
