What Is The Future Of The JSA In DC's New Golden Age? (Spoilers)
This week's DC New Golden Age one-shot by Geoff Johns, Steve Lieber, Jerry Ordway, and Diego Olortegui is bringing us new Golden Age Heroes for the DC Universe. Characters who did not previously exist in the DC Universe because they were removed from it and now are being returned with DC continuity retconning around them. And this weekend, Bleeding Cool ran Who's Who profiles of The Thirteen. So we have Golden Age Mister Miracle, Betsy Ross, Molly Pitcher, Golden Age Legionnaire, Ladybug, Quiz Kid, Salem The Witch Girl, Golden Age Aquaman, Cherry Bomb, The Harlequin's Son, John Henry Jr, Judy Garrick and The Golden Age Red Lantern.
But what of the JSA itself? The New Golden Age #1 preview shows those early meetings of DC's first superhero team from November 22nd, 1940.
Before the comic book jumps forward almost a thousand years to the 31st Century of the Legion Of Super Heroes. And a time when the scales of justice have fallen, and decay has set in.
But there is hope to come… from Lanterns, Beetles and Doctors. And a time of the Legion Of Super-Heroes… that seem to suddenly be unnecessary?
The New Golden Age #1 is published tomorrow, with Stargirl & The Lost Children #1 next week, and Justice Society Of America #1 at the end of the month. And it's all connected…
