My thoughts on the new JSA run so far

[Originally published on my Twitter account, on Nov. 30th]

So, nobody asked for it, but I want to speak and this is my space for that. I am a really big fan of the JSA, with them being my favorite super hero team by a far margin. Therefore, you can imagine how happy I was to know a new series was starting, and being written by the same man who made me fall in love with them, Geoff Johns. To top it off, it features fucking HELENA WAYNE, offspring of one of my favorite ships in fiction, Batman X Catwoman. Well, without further ado, let's start.

This storyline actually starts in the "The New Golden Age" one-shot, that features multiple generations of Doctors Fate seeing impending doom arriving to destroy our beloved super team, but they are never sure how to deal with it. It's implied that Degaton, the time villain is behind it, with him killing the JSA of the 31st century, and mentioning he actually killed this Fate's granddaughter "before". This is an important point for a theory I will present at a later point. We also get to know this new version of Helena Wayne, who is determined to stop her father's killer, and thus wears the mantle of The Huntress.

Now we actually will talk about the new JSA book proper. This first volume starts with Helena searching for her Doctor Fate, Khalid Nassum, who, a day prior warned her about impending danger. To no avail.

With him gone, the tension rises in this generation of the JSA, which is comprised mostly of descendants of super-villains. We have Icicle, Grundy, and even new faces that belong to the famed "13 Children" lost to time. This new team is not approved by Power Girl, one of the last legacy heroes still there. They later find out Fate is already dead, and weirdly it looks like he has been for quite sometime. Then the reveal comes: this time villain, presumably Degaton, has the ability to alter the timestate of whatever he wants, killing all of them using this powerful skill. When he's about to kill Helena, her mother arrives on the scene tells her to search for Fate, and gives her Doctor Manhattan's snow globe, which sends her back in time, to 1940. Selina's fate is unknown to us as of now.

This first volume wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I particularly do not like plots that revolve around time travel, as they tend to get extremely convoluted and very unsatisfaying to see play out. To top it off, I really hate Degaton. His arc in Geoff's run was really hard to get hyped to read (it had some great moments and all, but wasn't my favorite). BUT, this new story could present some really interesting plot points.

My main theory is that "Degaton" is back on his "I will kill EVERY JSA" shenanigans, and is killing them starting with their future versions first, and making his way to the team's origins in the 40's. Therefore, Helena must hurry to get back in the current timeline and stop him before he manages to kill them. I bet this'll be the main plot. And, this will interact with the new Stargirl series properly reintroducing the Lost Children in this timeline. That way, Helena's future will be rewritten, their JSA will actually live up to its name with more people picking the heroes legacies, and Batman won't die (I think "Degaton" is behind this awell).

To be honest, I was kind of disappointed while reading it for the first time, but my mind wasn't calm and in the right place. After reading it again, alongside The New Goden Age, I'm much more interested in it. I hope they manage to tell a cool story, and please let Power Girl be an important character T^T

Speaking of which, I hope they mention or fix the plothole that is PG appearing in the 70s flashback, as it doesn't fit with the current Superman timeline.

That's it, if you read it so far, thank you! I really love the JSA, and will probably make more posts like this according to the new issues releases. LONG LIVE THE JSA!

i'm so glad dc utilized the alan scott officially being gay 'retcon' in an interesting way that also doubles down on why alan most likely quit being green lantern amidst the jsa disbanding.

him having a hero/villain romance with a soviet agent, the american government accusing the jsa of being communists amidst the mccarthyism, alan being one of the first people hanging up his cape.... geoff johns is actually a GENIUS!!! it also 100% ties into why alan essentially let the idea of him being gay go and why he would try & get with women after the jsa disbanded.... johnny thunder also said the red lantern is still a sensitive subject like it's still eating alan alive to this day. the internalized homophobia happening AFTER the jsa disbanding is so poetic truly.

Hournite Week 2022: Day 5 - The 80s

In Rick's defense, Courtney forced him to do this starched hairstyle 😾. He kept complaining until he saw Beth walking down the stairs in her yellow dress, forgetting all the things that were pissing him off at that moment, including his own name 😢. Beth thought it was cute, she really liked his hair for some reason.

*confused Rick noises on the background 🤡*

I had no idea what to do about the 80s, but I remembered these school parties with those puffy dresses I saw in american movies. It's a cute concept.

That's my last contribution this year 🥺 and my favorite one!

yo but this “Kyle” business is just Helena narrator-boxing all up in everyone’s business with her Huntputer knowledge or whatever, she’s not even on a first name basis with him and refers to him as Knight

so all it would take to clear it up would be a simple “Kyle— can I call you Kyle?” “Literally nobody has ever called me Kyle in my entire life but I guess if you’re feeling saucy”
