The Golden Age Heroes Return
By Anarchy in the US
Ah yes, the Justice Society of America (JSA). The first superhero team in comics since its inception in the Golden Age of comic in 1940 ushered in a whole new wave of storytelling and future generations to follow and take note from. Even if the JSA are the originators, they fell behind the pack once the Justice League of America (JLA) came about in the 1950s. Since then, the JSA has woven in-and-out of DC's pantheon never hitting the same level as its offspring, the JLA. But in 1997, when Grant Morrison jump started the JLA, it became one of the must read comics at the time, and the fact the JSA were in issues #27-31 that really pushed more attention for the JSA. So because of the success of Morrison's JLA, DC decided to strike the fire while it was hot and make an offshoot series, that being the JSA. And here is when comic really got great.

With writers James Robinson (a avid fan of the Golden Age heroes) and Blade/Man of Steel/Batman Begins writer David Goyer, who was a fresh face at the time, started on JSA. And yes, superstar writer Geoff Johns got some of his earliest work on this series makes for a fitting collection for fans of both writers and good ol' fashioned characters in the modern day.

Originally this collection was to be called Geoff Johns JSA Omnibus, featuring only the material Johns did on the series starting at issue 5. This left many fans angry with DC since it meant cutting out the first arc by Robinson and Goyer and many other aspects of the JSA. Thankfully, due to massive out cries by fans, DC took notice and re-solicited this Omnibus featuring all aspects of the JSA, even if this large book is mostly Johns heavy. So although DC still has old problems that their omnibi still linger, this is still an awesome tome.

The JSA OMNIBUS VOL.1 collects the following in order:

All Star Comics #1
All-American Comics #1
Adventure Comics #1
National Comics #1
Sensation Comics #1
Smash Comics #1
Star Spangled Comics #1
Thrilling Comics #1
All Star Comic #2
*All the issues above are collected here inJustice Society Returns (Justice Society of America)
JSA Secret Files #1, JSA #1-5 Justice Be Done (JSA: Justice Society of America, Book 1)
JSA #6-15 JSA: Darkness Falls
JSA #16-25 JSA: The Return of Hawkman - Book 03 (Justice Society of America (Numbered))
JSA Our Worlds at War #1
JLA/JSA Secret Files #1
JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice (JLA (DC Comics Unnumbered Paperback))
JSA All-Stars #1-8 JSA: All Stars (Justice Society of America (DC Comics))

[Since this omnibus has way too much to discuss, I will only give a general idea of these stories. Please click on the links for far superior reviews and information.]

Starting out with the JUSTICE SOCIETY RETURNS story, all the stories are individual pieces of golden age superheroes who fight their own battles, then come to find out are all part of a master plan against an alien bent on taking over the world. After that, we finally dive into the modern day JSA stories, which involve a series of mysterious murders to Golden Age characters, time and space collapsing under the power of one heroes own son, and the return of a certain Thangarian that was long dead in comics makes a grand entrance. With a series of stand-alone issues of Golden Age characters written and drawn by all star writers and artist.

That's the gist of this massive tome and it's as simple as that without giving anything away. This series was all about using the theme of legacies as its core example, as well as using a Silver-Age sense of action with a touch of modern day storytelling to make these characters likable and never delves too deep on darker subject material as some comics did at the time period. Having traditional Golden Age characters like The Flash Jay Garrick, Green Lantern Alan Scott, and Wildcat Ted Grant stay as lead members of the team to reform the JSA bringing in new characters to fill out old ranks like Dinah Lance, daughter to the original Black Canary, and Jack Knight, taking over for his father's role of Starman, make for a series that shows readers just why these characters still do mean a lot for comic fans. So even if teams like the Teen Titans, Birds of Prey, and Outsiders look up to the Justice League...it's the Justice League that looks up to the Justice Society.

Aside from Johns writing a good majority here with Goyer and Robinson as well, there is a vast array of writers who did the one-shots and artist that, for reasons of length, are too large to name off (there's 20+ artist from the contents page). The art is solid for the late 90's, with majority of the art being handled by Stephen Sadowski.

As for this 2014 Omnibus, it's massive. As the Amazon picture shows is the dust jacket on the front, with another picture of the group on the spine big and clearly. On the inner flaps, has a small biography of a good majority of the members through the series is pretty neat as well. In terms of the board underneath the dust jacket, sadly, it's just a flat black board with the JSA symbols. Something this big I wish DC would add a little more effort on their omnibi collections instead of the typical black board, but it is what it is. Speaking of old DC habits, the bind is still glued/sewn (I know many people will hate that part). It's still sturdy, but since this is a 1000+ page book, it gets tight. In fact, for me, this is one of the tighter bindings I've had from this collection. I really had to stretch the book to keep it open on the ends. Since I read all books at 90 degree angles, this is fine by me and I am not picky about it, but it will drive some people nuts. Which in turn leads to numerous splash pages having gutter loss, which thankfully, there isn't too many of those in this series as I read most of the book fine. It's only when those splash pages came up I have trouble. The pages are think and non-glossy and are all crisp layouts. I didn't see any fuzzy art productions or errors in this collection, so there's that. And lastly, this collection has practically zero extras, sadly. It has no introductions, sketches, or afterwords. It only has the covers to the trade paperbacks.

So, JSA OMNIBUS VOL.1 shows that Johns, Goyer, and Robinson's earliest work holds up amazingly well for being 15 years old and focuses on Golden Age characters. It's a ton of content for the price like most omnibus should do, but some of the production work hurts the book. It's a 4 ½ star review, but I still enjoyed what's here and for the price.

Let's see how well JSA Omnibus Vol. 2 holds up by comparison.

Collecting the first two years of one of the best super-hero titles ever put out and a landmark for a DC star
By Michael A. Weyer
While the Justice Society of America had been an icon for decades as the first super-hero team, DC Comics hadn't treated them that well over the years. The team was put into limbo after "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and then torn apart with several members killed off in "Zero Hour." But in 1999, pushed by the fantastic work of James Robinson's "Starman" series, DC took a chance on a new title for the group. And it worked brilliantly as Robinson set a bar that David Goyer and a young Geoff Johns would elevate to amazing heights. This massive new volume brings together their first two years of work and showcasing a truly wonderful title that counts as one of the best DC has ever given.

It kicks off with the "Justice Society Returns," one of those "fifth-week events" DC would do back in the late-`90's. It's a throwback story as the team faces an evil entity raised by the Nazis. In classic fashion, the various one-shots (all named after original DC titles where the characters first appeared), have them splitting off into pairs to take the various avatars down before uniting for a final attack. There's some good stuff here like a great Mark Waid-written story on Mr. Terrific facing the horrors of war and the Atom taking on a foe of truly horrible strength. Then, "JSA Secret Files" has the prequel as Wesley Dodds, the original Sandman, faces a dark fate that leads to a new adventure. The first five-part storyline by Robinson has this new JSA form to take on the evil Mordu and leads to the emergence of a new Doctor Fate. This leads to the forming of a new JSA with the brilliant idea of the original members of Flash, Sentinel, Wildcat and others mentoring a new generation of heroes like Stargirl, Atom-Smasher, Hawkgirl, Black Canary and more, giving the team a wonderful legacy feel.

Goyer and Johns take over with issue 7 where Johns first shows his wonderful mix of respect for DC history and fine writing. When Sentinel's insane son, Obsidian, throws Milwaukee into darkness, the team have to stop him, aided by the new Dr. Mid-Nite. Issue 10 has Wildcat having to defend the JSA Brownstone against Johnny Sorrow and his Injustice Society. Mr. Terrific joins to help as the team take on terrorist Kobra with Atom-Smasher having a personal stake after Kobra killed his mother but the time-traveling Extant throws things into more chaos before a fitting final fate for him. Then "Injustice For All" has the Injustice Society launching a full attack with Sorrow planning to use them to wipe out Earth with the monstrous King of Tears. Surprisingly, formerly villainous Black Adam chooses to aid the JSA and seek amends for his actions. This sets up the three part "Return of Hawkman" where Johns and Goyer manage the epic feat of undoing years of confusing retcons to return Hawkman to prominence and answering long-held secrets of Hawkgirl as well. A big annual is a crossover with "Our Worlds at War" as the JSA calls upon various allies to fight an alien invasion. Then, a story from "Secret Files #2" sets up the fantastic "JLA/JSA Virtue & Vice" special as a meeting of the two teams ends with members of both going mad, infected by the Seven Sins of Man. Reserves of both teams discover it's due to a pact forged between one of the League's oldest foes and one of the Society's deadliest enemies and must join to stop it. Finally, "JSA All-Stars" has the younger members of the team sent on personal missions to stop an oncoming attack.

The stories are amazing, you can feel the history of the JSA in their telling and the respect they have, even more than the Justice League. Veterans like Flash and Sentinel work well with the newer kids, Stargirl coming into her own as a hero, Atom-Smasher facing his inner darkness, Hawkgirl having her own secrets and Black Canary and Dr. Mid-Nite having a growing relationship. Cool moments abound such as evil super-speedster Rival signing his name by murdering people at various spots across the country to how Johns is able to incorporate so much of the convoluted Hawkman history in a way that makes sense. The villains are great from the showboating Sorrow to the fun partnership of the two baddies in "Virtue & Vice." The artwork is terrific, especially Stephen Sadowski's amazing pencils in the first 25 issues of the regular title, letting us see these heroes in full view and working great action sequences, not to mention terrific splash pages like Dr. Mid-Nite's arrival to help Black Canary or Hawkman's return. While it might have been nice to have stuff like notes or proposals and such, it's still a great single volume for a series that helped raise these characters to new heights, reminded readers how magical the Golden Age was and, most importantly, introduced us to a pair of great talents that would change DC a lot over the years. If you had to pick one book to show super-hero comics at their best, this is it and well worth the price to see the JSA in their glory.

Spectacular beyond my wildest imagination
By sergei kochkin
I have the Golden age DC archives of JSA all 12 volumes, about 200 pages each retailing at a whopping $49.95 each while this 1200+ monster is only $70 on Amazon. The golden age stories were simple and seldom did all the all stars work together. Normally they paired up. But they were charming. Fast forward 50 years to this omnibus of JSA and the reincarnation or offspring of former JSAs. The stories are so clever, the artwork so spectacular, the villains evil beyond anything we could image in the 1940s. This volume was pure pleasure to read and the artwork mesmerizing. I am thankful that all of the JSA reboot is here since we don't see Geoff Johns stories till we are about a third through this massive book. As the 2 star reviewer says, it is difficult to read because of its size and weight. I invested in a lap desk (for these large omnibus books) which tilts so I can read it without having to go to a chiropractor. The gutter loss is minor. The oversize pages make it easier to read. The paper stock is a thick glossy paper; I might recommend semi-gloss to cut down on glare. Its weakness is the cheap binding; it should be sturdier for this size book. Now hold on since Vol. 2 is more than 1400 pages. Yes as the 2 star reviewer laments, I wish we could get these in perhaps 600 page installments. But my best guess is the series would be way too expensive. So learn how to adapt to these massive treasure chests of imagination and adventure. They are a good value especially at Amazon prices. Trust me.....I have read many omnibus, archives, and Absolute editions.....this is one of the very best..and I will definitely get volume 2 in December.
