This is it sports fans, the moment I, and possibly two or three of you have been waiting for.
Justice Society of America #1
The story? After pretty much getting their collective asses handed to them by the Gentleman Ghost, (only being saved by the fact that Stargirl kept it in her pants long enough) not too mention a really big
Crisis, the majority of the team drifted apart. Hawkman disappeared (yeah yeah..again), Stargirl went off to college, Alan and Michael Holt joined up with Checkmate, and even Powergirl went off to have a shitty adventure with Supergirl in Kandor.
Well, it's been a year, and the big three (Jay, Alan, and Ted..duh..idiots) decide it's time to bring the old boys back, not to mention a few newbloods.
Who's in on the fun this time around? All your favorites of course!
Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, and Wildcat return as the "father figures", along with folks such as Hourman, Dr. Mid-nite, Liberty Belle, Hawkman, and the rest of the gang. Those featured on the cover to issue #1 are only a taste of the final roster, as this team is putting an emphasis on Society. Who are the new faces in the crowd?
First, we have a new
Starman!
Johns and Ross have been very hush hush about this new incarnation of the character, though all we know is that he'll be very different from previous versions.
Next, the granddaughter of ol Ma Hunkel,
Maxine..aka "Cyclone"
NRAMA: Looking at the team from a point of view inside the DCU, what role does the Justice Society serve? When other heroes think of the JSA, what do they think of?
GJ: "These are the guys we should probably act like." The Justice Society's motto now is, "The world needs better good guys," and that's something that's stated in issue #1, and it's true. The Justice Society's here to deliver them. Look at Mr. Terrific - he's had a good impact on the DCU, so has Dr. Mid-Nite and Hawkman's with his coming back. We want to make the Justice Society of America the DCU….main line, where characters come in.

Yeah, I love it.

Wha? Where Stargirl goes, Pat Dugan isn't far behind.

Yeah, but he isn't in the team pic, and I havn't seen him in any previews. I'm sure he'll pop up in a few issues and have some panels, but I doubt we'll see him much.
And what happened in the JSA issue of 52? Johns mentions it in his interview. I quit reading 52 for a few issues and just now put it back on the list for the Batman stuff. Sounds like I missed a cool JSA story...
Oh, and Ted spent Thanksgiving drinking alone in said boarded up building.
Again, the cover to issue #1 is not the final roster. Plus, the book is being written by Johns, so you can almost guarantee that Dugan will be getting as many cameos as he did in JSA.

I agree with whoever said Damage looks too much like Atom Smasher now - with that look and the chest symbol, I think people are going to get them confused.
That costume really says "look at my man girdle and how it accentuates my cockandballs"
Yowza. You can practically see her kidneys.
that's just me speculating.
That would be interesting, because Luthor thinks that Supernova is Supes, and so he may try to send Infinity Inc after JSA.
That wouldn't happen, because everybody at DC has forgotten about Supernova (the coolest part of 52)... :x
Only because my boycott of the series worked.
Did he juice up harder than normal or something?
EDIT: Oh it's a car.
Makes more sense.
Also that pic of "cyclone" makes her look like a drunken cheerleader. I approve.
Of course, you're Keith.

Oh, it's not Michael Turner bad or anything
but seriously, if you stare at it, it's one badly drawn picture
Sorta off topic: Power Girl is hot and I'd like to read more comics with her in them. Where's a good place to start?
Start here
:winky:
The first few issues of JSA Classified is pretty much the best Power Girl story ever.
I didn't suggest it because of how well written it may be. He said she was hot, I don't think he cares too much about a compelling story. Plus I see that issue every time I go to the comic shop, I almost want to buy it just to see the reaction it would get from my wife.
Yes. Looks first, story second. :P Isn't Power Girl an alternate version of Supergirl? How the heck are her boobs so significantly bigger than Supergirl's?
Either way, I may need to look into JSA Classified now.
The thing with her rack is because she underwent puberty in 5000 times the earth's gravity.
The apocrypha is that is was an in-joke between the artists to keep drawing her breasts bigger and bigger, and it eventually got out of hand. I don't know how true that is, but it certainly seems plausible.
Wow...uh, that 5000x gravity thing...that should've made the rest of her bigger too. :roll:
However, hooray for that in-joke. I'm far more interested in reading about Power Girl as a result. :winky:
There is actually a section on her wikipedia entry about that.
I couldn't tell. The DCU is so alien to me that I'd accept anything said about it as truth.
Yeah, so I'm working on that. :oops:
