Soap Opera Superheroics of the New JSA #1 From DC Comics (Spoilers)
Posted in: Comics, Comics Publishers, Current News, DC Comics | Tagged: jsa, Justice Society of America
We have a new JSA #1 out this week by Jeff Lemire and Diego Olortegui, embedding it into recent DC Comics continuity.
Character-driven drama focuses on personal and historical conflicts within the JSA.
Obsidian’s secret ties to the Injustice Society expose deeper team intrigues.
Classic JSA members face the new Injustice Society and test Golden Age ideals.
We have a new JSA series following right on the heels of the much-delayed previous run from Geoff Johns and Mikel Janin. Jeff Lemire and Diego Olortegui are taking this one, and embedding it in recent DC Comics continuity as well as following up on the previous Justice Society Of America series which seemed to divert from it somewhat. Anyone want to try and explain the Power Girl thing yet?
But rather the timey-wimey conflicts across the centuries, this JSA looks like going back to basics… and that been soap opera stuff. So while Obsidian is being reprimanded for going all Abu Ghraib,
We have Sandy Hawkins, the new Sandman and Jade discussing something that once was…
Ans they are not alone in keeping such secrets from the team.
Rick Parker, the Hourman and Jessie Quick don’t just have a past, they have a present.
Talking of Obsidian, he certainly does have conviction. Quite a few convictions. On the record. And giving another soap opera trope of someone not being who they say they are…
Johnny Sorrow, posing as Obsidian within the JSA, but actually part of the ISA as well…
The Injustice Society Of America with Solomon Grundy, the Gentlemen Ghost, Scandal Savage, Ruby Sokov – daughter of the Golden Age Red Lantern and more… who else do you recognise?
