Why the hell does jakeem look in his forties...he looks like one of those old guy's who tires to be 'hip' but fails miserably...

....

Anyway, JSA is always better than the JLA....they just get 2nd billing, which is unfortunate. I'll be keeping an eye on it, though I probably won't be able to follow the series.

Hmm... maybe he evntually magics it back...

Yeah, it really shouldn't be too hard to give himself a new eye.

That is not the Red Tornado in the line-up. It is Commander Steel the grandfather to the first Steel that was in the failed JLA Detroit lineup. That Steel was the only cool member of that horrible JLA team but he was killed off by Professor Ivo.

Right... 😕

Can someone do me a teeny favour and name that team for me?

I barely know who's who outside of the old lineup (Terrific, Sentinel, Hawkman, Atom Smasher and so on), and im curious as to who's who...

Not really. Damage's father is Atom Smasher's Godfather. They're pretty close friends though.

Ah, ok... i had mistaken him for smasher, thats why i asked...

Whatever happened with Atom Smasher possibly joining the Suicide Squad? anything come of it?

Sidenote: Damage's father is the Golden Age Atom (Al Pratt)

Damage should not be that big. I think that look is better on Atom Smasher.

I disagree ..... I hardly regard Supes, Wonder Woman, Hal and Bats as 'second billing'. IMO the Geoff Johns JSA was the mystical equivalent of Morissons and Waids JLA. The team seemed to focus more on magical threats where as the JLA has always been more sci fi based.

Ion, is G.J. writing this new rendition of the JSA, or is his riduclously demanding schedule finally taking its toll ?

Oh and Yahman, the guy you quoted was JSA takes the backseat to JLA, getting 'second billing', even though he sees the team as better.

No one said JLA are second billing.

The last run of JSA was one of the best comics runs I've ever read, serious.

I've only read the Black Vengeance Arc ..... but the last JSA run is highly regarded. Im suprised it lasted longer than Morissons JLA run though. I've just spent the last week re-reading all 50 something issues, and its definitetly my favourite group of stories.

In a fight, i dont think the JLA (even Morissons 'unstoppable' line up) would stand a chance against the JSA. I would go as far to say that the Thunderbolt is one of D.C's 10 most powerful characters.

JSA Classified is also a FAR better comic than JLA Classified.
I'm steady dissapointed in the JLA one.

As a villian Gentleman Ghost is a pretty stylish villian to end the old series on 🙂
