When the Justice Society discovers their base watchdog has been nullified and they are targeted by a group of put together to destroy them, the JSA realizes that they could have reached the end days. The danger of the villains outside the team might not be the only threat. Within the team is a growing rift about how the team should be handled and what the goals of the JSA Justice Society of America: Bad Seed someone in the t Reprints Justice Society of America 2 September January Within the team is a growing rift about how the team should be handled and what the goals of the JSA are…but someone in the team might not be just what they seem! The Justice Society has always been Justice Society of America: Bad Seed family…to a ridiculous point. First you have to believe that all these characters are descendants or have descendants that are superhuman and the second factor you have to consider is that they are good. There are two storylines going in the collection. The one storyline involves the mysterious attack of a group of supervillains who have been hired to hurt the JSA but not to hurt Stargirl. You have the characters getting in repeated fights with minimal success, but both times, the throw-down is ended by Dr. Fate which seems a bit like a cop-out to me the second time. The second storyline involves betrayal within the JSA which leads to two different ideologies. The storyline is a bit of a Columbo-esque mystery. You already know who attacks Mr. Terrific, but you have to question why. Willingham and Sturges did amazing things with Fables, but it feels like they are just kind of finding their feet here. Justice Society of America has direction, but it needs to really be focused…and I hope it will happen. Jun 13, Brian rated it liked it. The book was alright. Jan 10, Nathaniel rated it did not like it. Alas poor Justice Society, I knew it well I was always aware of the fact that 's departure from the JSA title was going to be a tough act to follow. He built a family and a home and a warmth unlike anywhere else in the DCU. I was excited at the prospect of Bill Willingham, whose series Fables was already a classic, taking his own spin on these characters. If he could bring the scope and the care that he brought to Fables to the DCU, it may just have been Justice Society of America: Bad Seed special. What I wasn't expecting was such shallow unrefined dreck. There used to be characters here. There used to be characterization. There used to be a sense of family. Instead it's run of the mill drivel. The old timers are drawn in broad strokes as if by an author who didn't like them to begin with, but can't escape an impending . Dialog is interchangeable tripe. The conversations feel like the ravings of a thirteen year old fan boy who has no sense of finesse and style. The "twist" is telegraphed so far out that when it happens it's a rote process at the end of another slog. The whole thing stinks like Willingham was busy with Fables, and forgot to write the script for JSA, and just scrawled a rough outline for his artist before going back to his passion project. Villains are throwaway and indistinguishable. The sense of ominousness at the JSA team "splitting up", whatever the hell that means, is laughable at best. The cheap shot of trying to drive tension by "killing" Mr. Terrific because you can get away with killing the black guy, right? I wanted to give this two stars when I first sat down to write it, but I can't. It's just bad. It's not fun. It's heartbreaking. Feb 09, Travis rated it it was ok Shelves: Justice Society of America: Bad Seed. There's some good ideas here, but Justice Society of America: Bad Seed cast is so big half of them don't get to do anything besides throw the occasional punch. Characterization is weak, or feels really forced as this is the arc that leads to the JSA splitting into two teams. The 'traitor amongst us' thread Justice Society of America: Bad Seed bad, but we are only given two suspects and on of them is made to look so guilty that you know it's not him.

Plus, I like legacy characters, but if you are going to create one for a really obscure golden age hero, then put some effort into making them characters, instead of just types. The big brawl was a fun bit of action, but I don't get the 'The boss said don't hurt Stargirl' bit. Did that get explained after I quit reading? And why did DC waste so much time on ? The least interesting member of the huge roster and he got the spotlight and was put in charge of the spin- off team. The JSA deserved better than this. Aug 18, Shannon Appelcline rated it it was ok Shelves: comicscomics-dc. A very disappointing introduction for Willingham. The JSA as a whole seems badly out of character, pushing toward the predetermined goal of the team splitting up. It's all very heavy-handed. Beyond that the super-duper fight in two parts adds little to the story and only a few characters get characterization. The mystery of the traitor within would have been interesting if it weren't so darned obvious. Jan 30, Michael rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novelsreview. This is a bit below Justice Society of America: Bad Seed slice of Bill Willingham. The first issue is fine and has a lot Justice Society of America: Bad Seed on, including a huge knock down drag out brawl, told in a portentous tone. It never quite Justice Society of America: Bad Seed off in the rest of the issues though. The JSA roster is certainly very bloated at the moment but the deliberately divisive bickering seems shoe-horned in and just gets a bit annoying. Slings & Arrows

The team was initially popular, but after the popularity of comics waned in the late s, the JSA's adventures ceased with issue 57 of the title March This allowed for annual cross-dimensional team-ups of the teams between and These series explored the issues of aging, generational differences, and contrasts between and subsequent eras. The Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series merged all of the company's various alternate realities into one, placing the JSA as World War II -era predecessors to the company's modern characters. As part of DC Comics' relaunch of its entire line of monthly books an unnamed version of the team appears in the Earth 2 Vol 1 —Earth 2 World's End —and Earth 2: Society — Comics' historian noted that: "This was obviously a great notion, since it offered readers a lot of headliners for a dime, and also the fun of watching fan favorites interact. Hibbardand Bernard Sachs. The first JSA story featured the team's first meeting, with a framing sequence for each member telling a story of an individual exploit. In the next issue, the team worked together on a common case, but each story from there on still featured the members individually on a mission involving part of the case, and then banding together in the end to wrap things up. Thus, the was replaced by after 6, and left shortly thereafter for the same reason. For this reason, and were established as already being Justice Society of America: Bad Seed members prior to 3. How these two heroes helped found the JSA before becoming honorary members was not explained until DC Justice Society of America: Bad Seed 29 in She was excluded from the title because of the same rules that had excluded , Green Lantern, Justice Society of America: Bad Seed, and Batman from the title, though in 13 it was claimed she had become an active member. The membership kit included a welcome letter, a badge, a decoder, a four-page , and a membership certificate. National Comics heroes being removed from the title. As a result, the Flash and Green Lantern returned to the team. The explanation for the team's disappearance, and the inactivity of most of its roster after the early s, was first given in "The Defeat of the Justice Society! The chairmanship of the Justice Society mostly resided with , although initially the Flash, and later Green Lantern, took turns leading the team. For a brief period inthey were known as the Justice Battalion, as they became an extension of the armed forces of the United States of America during World War II. The All-Star Squadron's adventures were set in the s, and were considered to have happened concurrently with the Justice Society's in a " retcon ". This turned out to be a deathtrap orchestrated by a crooked senator's henchman from Eliminations, Inc. The brownstone remained unoccupied until years Justice Society of America: Bad Seed, when the team was active again. The headquarters used in the s was a brownstone in Morningside Heights. Having successfully introduced new versions of several characters the Flash, Green Lantern, etc. This historic meeting thus became one of the classic DC comics of the Silver Age. These meetings produced a considerable number of notable events and characters in JSA history, including leaving to join the , the return of the Golden Age team the Seven Soldiers Justice Society of America: Bad Seed Victory[29] [30] [31] the creation of the Freedom FightersJustice Society of America: Bad Seed incorporated several characters into DC continuity after the characters were purchased by DC Comics, [32] [33] [34] and the introduction of a number of other alternative Earths to house these other teams. In addition, a number of the characters appeared in team-up stories in issues of the DC titles The Brave and the Bold and Showcasewhile the Spectre was given a solo run in the latter which led to his own series. Some JSA members during this period, residing on "Earth-Two", were portrayed as middle-aged versions of their younger, contemporary "Earth-One" counterparts; the "Earth-Two" characters' portrayal as older than their counterparts eased incorporation of the existing fictional history of the Justice Society of America into newly-written stories about the "Earth- Two" characters. Later, this fictional age gap was to become a major theme for character development, with the fictional histories of different versions of the same characters deviating significantly from each other in ways impacted by their differences in age, including even the deaths of popular characters such as Batman in one setting while different, contemporary versions of the characters lived on as inhabitants of a different fictional "Earth". The JSA's popularity grew until they regained their own title. This run lasted until 74, with a brief run thereafter in Adventure Comics —, [38] but it had three significant developments: it introduced in All Star Comics 58, [39] [40] chronicled the death of the Golden Age Batman in Adventure Comics —, and, after nearly 40 years, it finally provided the JSA with an origin story in DC Special The series was noteworthy for depicting the heroes as having aged into their 50s. It was highly unusual, then or now, for a comic book to have heroes this old. Most comic books obscure the timelines or periodically relaunch the series to keep the characters youthful. This depiction was a consequence of the fact that the heroes were closely linked to the era of World War II. The explanation given for this by writer in All-Star Squadron Annual 3 is that the team, and several friends, have absorbed energy from the magical villain Ian Karkull during an adventure in the s that stunts their aging process. Notable events include meeting the heroes, including Captain Marvel[47] [48] [49] the death of Mr. Terrific[50] [51] [52] and the origin of the Black Canary. This led to a spinoff, modern day series entitled Infinity, Inc. This posed a variety of problems for the JSA, whose history—especially in the s comics—was strongly tied up in these four characters. Fan interest resulted in the revival of the JSA in An eight-issue Justice Society of America limited series featuring a previously untold story set in the s was published in Though Justice Society of America was intended as an ongoing series, and was popular with readers, the decision was made to cancel the book after the third issue's release.

He made his opinion clear to me several times Justice Society of America: Bad Seed the cancellation. Not long after, most of the team was incapacitated or killed in the crossover series Zero Justice Society of America: Bad Seed Crisis in Time.

The rest of the team is now too physically old to continue Justice Society of America: Bad Seed crime and retires. Starman retires and passes on the Starman legacies to his sons, resulting in the creation of one of the new series following Zero HourJames Robinson 's Starman. The Justice Society was revived as a monthly series called JSA in which mixed the few remaining Justice Society of America: Bad Seed members with younger counterparts. This incarnation of the team focused on the theme of generational legacy and of carrying on the heroic example established by their predecessors. The series was launched by [83] and David S. Goyer later co-wrote the series with Geoff Johns[84] who continued to write the series solo after Goyer's departure. It featured a story by Justice Society of America: Bad Seed Prize winner Michael Chabon. In SeptemberJSA ' s popularity led to a spinoff series, JSA: Classifiedwhich tells stories of the team at various points in its existence, as well as spotlighting specific members in solo stories. The series was cancelled with issue 39 August On December 6,a new series was launched with the creative team of Geoff Johns writerDale Eaglesham pencilsand cover art.
