Justice Society of America: Axis of Evil Justice Society of America DC Comics: Amazon. Bill Willingham, Jesus Merino: Fremdsprachige Bücher. The JSA proper is still reeling a bit from its younger members' defection and establishing of their own upstart branch, the JSA All- Stars. And, with the recent destruction of their brownstone, the Justice Society of America finds itself temporarily housed in the Justice League's dusty old cave headquarters. With the team's recent splintering and with Hourman's joining the All- Stars, people assume that Liberty Belle and Hourman have broken up, and this irritates Jesse to no friggin' end. Meanwhile, the homicidal, incarcerated Kid Karnival - a. All- American Kid - regales the JSA with ominous remarks and drops racial comments on Mr. Terrific. So, as this trade opens, things aren't quite on the sunny side up for our favorite legacy team. Mordru's possession of the new Dr. Fate just adds to that pile of crapcakes. JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA: AXIS OF EVIL collects issues #3. Johnny Sorrow's assault. What makes the JSA special is that the original Green Lantern, Flash, and Wildcat are still around, still vibrant and relevant and dispensing wisdom and counsel to the younger generations (yes, even Wildcat). So that's always an immediate bonus. I'm also pretty fond of Dr. Mid- Nite, Liberty Belle, and Mr. Terrific, although I'm not sure yet about Lightning and the new Mr. America. Bill Willingham gets us comfortable in our seats with nice little character moments. We eye Jesse as she sets up house and griping to Dr. Mid- Nite that, because the JSA only has use of part of the cave, the JLA is treating them like "their ignorant poor relations they'd be embarrassed to have seen by the hoi polloi." We see the wheelchair- confined Mr. Terrific chafing under Dr. Mid- Nite's medical ministrations. And Mr. America and Lightning bonding. But then Mordru takes Dr. Fate's body for a test drive and so much for the character moments. The JSA springs into action, springs into a trap. The Mordru arc is drawn by Travis Moore and Dan Green. I like them almost as much as the fantastic Jesus Merino/Jesse Delperdang team which handles the following Fatherland arc. I love me some time travel or parallel universes or alternate futures. The five- part Fatherland arc is the meat of this trade collection, and it's a bleak, dystopian tale, Willingham doing his take on "Days of Future Past." What's more despicable than Nazis? It's no surprise that, every so often, they get wheeled out as the featured Big Bad. Twenty years in the future, a captive Mr. Terrific recounts the horrifying events in the present that led to the Fourth Reich's conquest of America. ![]() Use our Justice Society of America comic book price guide to find out the values of important JSA issues.

It’s the Justice Society of America we all know and love. Justice Society Infinity is made up of. of the parts that make this comic better. The impetus was the absolute defeat of the Justice Society and the death of a JSA member. The Fourth Reich, a team of super- Nazis, exposed the JSA to the Darkness Engine, a device which depowers any and all meta- humans within its sphere of influence. With the Darkness Engine then utilized on the other metas, it was easy pickings for the Fourth Reich as its army easily overwhelmed those capes with mere mortal abilities. Twenty years in the future, America has become the American Reich. Overseas, Europe has fallen. Twenty years in the future, Mr. Terrific has a plan. I frankly enjoyed this arc, depressing though it is and so dark. For a story so world- changing, Willingham expands his roster to include many characters outside the JSA because, of course, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman would be impacted and all other surviving meta- humans. Characters die brutally, and things are so desperate that, at times, characters sacrifice themselves in service of Mr. Terrific's desperate one- shot- at- it scheme. It's all gripping stuff, especially what befalls Batman and Blue Beetle. And yet, in the back of our minds, we nurse a strong suspicion that things inevitably will be restored to normal continuity. So, compelling moments aside, the stakes and consequences in this arc don't drive home so deep, are rendered irrelevant, really. I don't think I'm spoilering anything by saying that the good guys find a way, that the bad days ahead are wiped away, that there's a do- over. My favorite part in the epilogue (issue #4. Mr. Terrific's visit in Ames, Iowa. The rest of that issue feels rushed; it feels like Willingham just wanted to clear the board already, to make way for new writer James Robinson (who in turn only sticks around for a quick cuppa before Mark Guggenheim takes over). Where the hell was I when they made it official that Wildcat really does have nine lives? That's a heck of a reveal. I was going to rate this one 3 out of 5 stars. But then I realized that Magog isn't in these pages, and this calls for an extra star. I'm a bit cheesed that Bill Willingham isn't sticking around for this title. But I guess I'd rather have him concentrating on FABLES. Justice Society of America (Team)Origin. The Heroes of the Golden Age. The Justice Society of America was founded in 1. President Franklin D Roosevelt. Eight of the world's greatest heroes all banded together to stop Adolf Hitler's invasion of Britain and to protect President Roosevelt from a group of Valkyries summoned by Hitler.

They fought crime for a long time, with miscellaneous enemies. The greatest event and challenge was the event Darkness, where Mordru, Obsidian, and Eclipso tried to plunge the world into eternal night. Recently, a vigilante group consisting of Black Adam, Eclipso, Northwind, Brainwave, and Atom- Smasher took the law into their own hands. They started a violent coup in the terrorist nation of Kandaq to end the JSA. This also exposed that Mister Mind was manipulating the JSA. This was called Black Reign, and it greatly affected the JSA. It caused Captain Marvel to quit. But the Justice Society of America fights crime still as the Best of the Best. Although most of the members of the Justice Society were old- timers when space travel was still merely the stuff of science fiction, the veteran heroes now escape Earth's gravity aboard the stylish Star Rocket Racer, built and maintained by Pat Dugan, once the costumed adult sidekick Stripesy to the first Star- Spangled Kid.
