Stargirl & the Return of The Justice Society Of America to DC Comics

Sure, sure, okay, as an instance this upfront, Bleeding Cool has been speaking concerning the return of the JSA – the Justice Society Of America – by the hands of Geoff Johns at DC Comics, for fairly a while. Ever because it was teased in DC Rebirth #1 by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. And to be truthful, on the time, that is precisely what was going to occur.  They even included them in an hourglass on the again cowl to underline it. The JSA had been deleted by the New 52, with a model showing within the Earth-2 comedian as an alternative. However beneath Geoff Johns they have been again and it was all arrange with Alan Scott changing into the primary Inexperienced Lantern. First that was deliberate to occur spinning out of Doomsday Clock, additionally by Johns and Frank, their disappearance being pinned on the actions of Dr Manhattan. However when that was delayed, Scott Snyder grabbed them for time-travel tales alongside the Justice League as an alternative, however there was no huge JSA spinoff drawn by Bryan Hitch as initially deliberate, as Geoff Johns was on the outs at DC Comics. In Stargirl Spring Break Particular, we obtained an epilogue scene by Johns and Hitch with outdated Inexperienced Arrow villain Clock King up towards Per Degaton, one of many six authentic members of the Injustice Society, set in 1940, however with time journey on the agenda. After which a double-page splash that may have set Justice Society followers cheering.

The historical past of the Justice Society Of America is laid out as a prologue –  for what’s to return. It was written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Bryan Hitch – as if that was their subsequent huge undertaking collectively. As a substitute, the 2 engaged on one other older character, Redcoat, for the Gieger 80-Web page Particular, out a few months in the past.  However after the DC massacre and the ejection of a few of those that had an enormous downside with Johns, he has now returned incrementally. A Stargirl story and JSA story in Infinite Frontier promised a lot, however even Bryan Hitch mentioned that an meant JSA spinoff wasn’t taking place anymore.

However that was then, Bleeding Cool understands that the Justice Society Of America will probably be showing in future problems with Flashpoint Past written by Geoff Johns. And that Stargirl will probably be getting a six-issue restricted collection which can embrace the JSA. And the brand new JSA group will embrace Huntress, although she exists in one other present type within the DC Universe. Possibly Darkish Disaster or Flashpoint Past will be capable to type that one out?

We presume Geoff Johns will probably be writing, and perceive that the inventive artistic group are nonetheless on the design stage. However it’s taking place, both on the finish of 2022 or the start of 2023. Sincere this time. Cross fingers.
