Over at CBR Timothy Callahan has posted a list of the top 10 best Geoff Johns written comics for his “When Words Collide” column. JSA makes it to the number 6 spot. This is what Timothy has to say about the JSA:
Johns’s first major extended run on a series was the continuation of the James Robinson/David Goyer series which brought the “JSA” back into action in the DCU. Though Johns would later follow it up with a “Justice Society of America” comic in post-One Year Later continuity, it’s really his pre-OYL “JSA” that’s the comic worth reading. While the “Justice Society” comic suffered from a too-large cast and a focus on longer story arcs that didn’t lead to satisfying conclusions (like the Gog stuff and the Kingdom Come Superman stuff), Johns’s “JSA” had great moments with Black Adam, the man formerly known as Nuklon, and, perhaps best of all, a Per Degaton time-travel epic that epitomized the “old-school DCU meets the heroes of today” feel that worked so well in this series.
Speaking of Geoff Johns, he has been talking up the Smallville Dr. Fate costume on his twitter page:
Doctor Fate looks kick ass!
Doctor Fate’s look is beyond accurate. The Vancouver crew is unbelievably spectacular. You will not believe the lengths they are going to!!
Meanwhile Newsarama reports that the Martian Manhunter will also be appearing in those episodes. And they clearly see the result:
So between Superman (Clark Kent), Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) and Det. John Jones, and Hawkman (Carter Hall), Dr. Fate (Kent Nelson) and Stargirl (Courtney Whitmore), we’re looking at the first live-action crossover between the JLA and JSA!
Lastly we have previews around the Web of Justice Society of America #32 and Blackest Night: Titans #3.
