Scott's Take: Justice Society of America Vol. 1: The New Golden Age by Geoff Johns


Justice Society of America Vol. 1: The New Golden Age by Geoff Johns collects the first 7 issues of the new series. This volume follows up on several plot points for other series, but can be read as a standalone. A time traveling Nazi is working in the future to destroy the teams of the JSA. If successful, that would ripple back through time to destroy the present-day Justice Society as well as the Justice Society of WWII. Luckily, a hero from the future is sent back to stop him. Huntress, aka Helena Wayne, the daughter of Catwoman and Batman.

 

Since there is a lot of time travel and teams being juggled, the read might get a little confusing for new readers. The art by Mikel Janin is great in this readers opinion. Star Girl, the two Dr. Fates, and Huntress play key roles in the battle to stop the Nazi from enacting his plan. There are also guest stars like Batman, Detective Chimp, and others.

 

The second volume will come out at some point. This series has suffered a lot of delays between issues for some reason, so it is unknown how long we have to wait.  In this readers opinion, the read is worth the wait.
