Jsa

[Harlekin]

****ing 'ell. When I first read the July solicits I figured they were just talking about the end of the arc, but when I went over to the DC Comics messageboards everybody was talking about a relaunch, and I reread the solicit. It really seems like JSA is ending.

And that really pisses me off. :(

[Antitang]

yeah doesnt seem like there is much of a reason to pull the plug... I always though JSA had a really big fanbase.

[TheCorpulent1]

Someone suggested that JSA would be relaunched as Justice Society of America, to complement the new Justice League of America series. I wouldn't mind that. I like how they've had matching titles for so long. In fact, I honestly wouldn't mind anything so long as Jay Garrick, Wildcat, and the new Dr. Mid-Nite are still involved with the JSA somehow. I wouldn't even mind if Alan and Mr. Terrific left, since I can see them in Checkmate now. Now seems like a pretty good time for reinvention in the DCU's teams.

[twylight]

JSA is ending?

But it can't!

It was my first comic, I love it more than anything.....they can't do this!

Make them stop! We have to protest! Picket outside their offices!

:(

[hippie_hunter]

I would prefer it if JSA got retitled as Justice Society of America starring:

Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
the Flash (Jay Garrick)
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Wonder Woman (Hippolyta)
Power Girl (considering that Infinity Inc is gone, and has no chance of returning let the surviving Infinity Inc. members join the Justice Society)
Obsidian
Hourman (Rick Tyler)
Sand
Hawkman (if Carter Hall is alive)
Atom Smasher (if he ever gets out of prison)
S.T.R.I.P.E.

[TheCorpulent1]

My ideal line-up would be:

Alan Scott
Jay Garrick
Wildcat
Hawkman (Carter Hall)
Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt)
Dr. Mid-Nite (Pieter Cross)
Stargirl
Jakeem Thunder
Hourman (Tyler)
Power Girl

[Harlekin]

Well, I guess I wouldn't mind a Justice Society relaunch, but I'm not really into the whole relaunch-for-the-sake-of-relaunch thing. I'd have to think about my perfect roster though.

I'd rather have a retitling than a relaunch

[TheFalcon]

I think it's pretty sure that JSA will come back as Justice Society of America.

Didn't Johns confirm that he was coming back to the title not long ago?

They probably chose to cancel/relaunch it because there will be some big changes and also to give Johns some breathing room to get back on track with his other titles after IC.

[Harlekin]

I'd rather have a retitling than a relaunch
Yeah, same here, and it is what I hope they'll actually do.

[twylight]

*Tries hard not to punch Corpy's and HH's lights out*


You forgot someone. :o

Indeed. :up:

[hippie_hunter]

Who :(

Stargirl, Mr. Terrific, Hawkgirl, Dr. Mid-Nite, Jakeem Thunder? I'd rather have the Justice Society stick to the Golden Age/Infinity Inc. members.

[TheCorpulent1]

She's talking about Black Canary. I much prefer Black Canary on the Birds of Prey or the Justice League, though. She's much more from the League's era and just fits better with them. She can interact with the JSA, but I wouldn't want her on there full-time.

She just wants Black Canary everywhere :mad:

[twylight]

Black Canary = Wolverine


Every Team...Every Book.

Taking over DC Comics one title at a time. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

Isn't one Wolverine more than enough? :(

[hippie_hunter]

Black Canary = Wolverine


Every Team...Every Book.

Taking over DC Comics one title at a time. :up:

Haven't you noticed that comic readers are getting sick of Wolverine. Next we'll have Black Canary in her own solo book (which would be cool in my opinion), then in Justice League of America, then in JSA, then in the Outsiders, then in the Teen Titans, then in the Doom Patrol, then in the Metal Men, then the Omega Men, then the she'll become a Green Lantern and join the Green Lantern Corps, then the Shadowpact, and somehow she'll find a way to go into the future and join the Legion of Superheroes. Then finally she'll have numerous and pointless cameos in all of DC's comic books such as Superman, Wonder Woman, Manhunter, etc. Then after we've been exposed to enough Black Canary, DC will giver her another solo book.

Make it so. :o :p ;)

[Anubis]

Still.....I'd rather see some hot blonde in fish nets everywhere than some hairy canadian douche bag.

[TheCorpulent1]

What if the hairy Canadian douchebag started wearing fishnets?

[Anubis]

.....possibly.....

[TheCorpulent1]

You ****. :o

[Anubis]

Hey, if wanting to see a pair of hairy man legs in fish net stockings makes me a **** then I guess I'm a **** then. :o Knees lookin like a beaver with a hair net.

[batnkevlar]

As said by this archery guy on MTV, "The beaver is my favorite target"... i don't watch MTV tho, just that episode...

[Green Lantern]

Anybody else wondering What the hell happened to Alan's eye?

[yenaled]

It's obviously going to be a relaunch, it is too popular and Geoff Johns loves it too much to cancel it.

[Speedball]

Stargirl deserves her own book. so does Power girl now

[hippie_hunter]

Stargirl deserves her own book. so does Power girl now

That would be cool.

[Anubis]

If Stargirl gets her own book I hope James Robinson writes it.

[hippie_hunter]

The JSA needs Hippolyta in it considering that she is going to be back from the dead now.

[hippie_hunter]

If Stargirl gets her own book I hope James Robinson writes it.

The return of Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E!

[Speedball]

really? good for diana
and is Donna wonder woman now?

[hippie_hunter]

It shouldn't be a relaunch, it should just simply be retitled to Justice Society of America.

[hippie_hunter]

really? good for diana
and is Donna wonder woman now?

The varient cover of Wonder Woman #1 has Hippolyta in it along with Diana, Cassie, and Donna.

[Anubis]

We don't know yet, but most likely it's gonna be the same Wonder Woman.

[hippie_hunter]

We don't know yet, but most likely it's gonna be the same Wonder Woman.

It is look at the Kubert cover of Wonder Woman #1, it has two Wonder Women (Diana and Hippolyta), Donna as Troia, and Cassie as Wonder Girl.

[Anubis]

Yeah, but that could just be pics of everybody involved with Wonder Woman. Doesn't mean Hippolyta's coming back to life.

[Speedball]

Maybe the Earth-2 Wonder Woman is returning?

[hippie_hunter]

Maybe the Earth-2 Wonder Woman is returning?

No The Earth-2 Wonder Woman died in Infinite Crisis #5

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, but that could just be pics of everybody involved with Wonder Woman. Doesn't mean Hippolyta's coming back to life.

But if that was the case wouldn't Cassie wear her pre-OYL Wonder Girl costume.

[Anubis]

Not necessarily.

[drastic_quench]

.....possibly.....
Then it is so:

[Speedball]

^ what in the hell was that? i think i'm going blind.

[drastic_quench]

Then, well done. You obviously know how to keep you fingers on home row.

[twylight]

Anybody else wondering What the hell happened to Alan's eye?


Nope.
I wondered the same thing but then thought "No one on Hype said anything.." and brushed it off as me missing an issue of a different title.

[Green Lantern]

They're discussing it over on comicbloc, but no, we didn't miss an issue of anything yet Twy :o

[twylight]

Forum hopper. :o

[Doc Destruction]

He lost his eye during 52 I assume.

[Green Lantern]

Forum hopper. :oComic Bloc is almost as good as Hype :o

[TheCorpulent1]

I wondered why Alan was missing an eye, too. Not that it really matters. He can make himself a construct eye.

[GoldenAgeHero]

Comic Bloc is almost as good as Hype :o

no its not.

[TheCorpulent1]

What about its not?

[GoldenAgeHero]

comic bloc is not as good as the hype. the only cool thing about it is all the artist are there and kurt busiek answers your questions, as long they're not spoiler questions

[The Flash!]

I found alot of cool stuff over at comicbloc.com :)

[yenaled]

I quite like comicbloc and the forums, you more DC conversation than you do here.

But SHH still rocks.

[The Flash!]

^ Yep!

[Green Lantern]

Pretty much any of the creators will answer your questions over there, Busiek even going out of his way to try and answer every question.

[Dwarf lord]

You have Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, and Kurt Buesiek there. Even Ethan Van Sciver, Mark Andreyko (Spelling?), and Alan Heinberg are reguilars there.

[Green Lantern]

Mark Waid... Ken Lashley (New Flash artist), Ron Marz, Gail Simone, Leonard Kirk, Rags Morales, Don Kramer, Howard Porter, Jamal Igle (Firestorm), Mike McKone, Stuart Moore (Firestorm), Tony Daniel, Cully Hamner, Barry Kitson, Ed Brubaker, Keith Champagne, Phil Hester, and Simone Bianchi... :p

[TheCorpulent1]

Whatever. We got Dan Slott, and he's funnier than all of them put together. :p

Especially since all of them put together would result in a monstrous, fleshy composite creature. :eek:

[hippie_hunter]

I find your title, avatar, and location to be hilarious Corp. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

Thank you. :)

[Green Lantern]

Whatever. We got Dan Slott, and he's funnier than all of them put together. :p

Especially since all of them put together would result in a monstrous, fleshy composite creature. :eek:Speaking of which, Kurt Busiek HATES composite Superman :o

[GoldenAgeHero]

in the past year i grew very found of the JSA and geoff run from issue 68 onwards has been brillaint. the whole degathon time travel arc was great.

[yenaled]

You know... shouldn't Alan Scott only loose an eye if he wants to loose and eye?

Him being made up of Green Flame.

[GoldenAgeHero]

i dont know what you guys are talking a missing eye, in jsa 84 he has both eyes

[yenaled]

JSA Classified 11.

[GoldenAgeHero]

ohhh, alrighty, i dont read any of the classifieds. are'nt they out of continuity?

[yenaled]

no.

they just can be from different periods of time.

[TheCorpulent1]

This one's hopping all through time because it stars the immortal Vandal Savage. :)

As for Alan's eye, it seems he creates a construct eye that works just fine when he's in costume, so I'd guess the answer is yes, he only loses the eye if he wants to lose it since his body is actually a shell of Starheart energy. BUT Alan himself has tried to reject that idea of himself because it makes him feel less than human. He even let his body age back to his 50s, closer to his true age, rather than his 30s, which his body had been at since he switched to the Sentinel name. So it's likely that his subconscious desire to remain as human as possible is manifesting itself in the form of a wound that would take a normal person's eye away actually taking his eye away, too. GLs' subconsciouses seem to be their worst enemies at times. :o

[yenaled]

That, actually makes sense!

[TheCorpulent1]

Bwahahahaha, I am a sense machine! :cool:
