The JSA find themselves hurled back in time, to a less enlightened
America of 1951, where the younger members of the team learn
that their predecessors faced evils more insidious than super-villains.
Back in the present, the ghostly avenger known as the Spectre
is without a human host. Now a spirit of pure retribution,
he metes out a brutal, uncontrolled form of justice, encouraged
by the new Eclipso. It falls to the JSA to stop their former
comrade, one way or another...
In
Black Vengeance, Stargirl's life is irrevocably changed
when her adoptive family are murdered, part of a devious plan
by a time travelling villain. The JSA must fight to save themselves
from temporal annihilation, as well as stopping the assassination
of the President of the United States.
Still
another crisis develops when the Atom Smasher seeks readmittance
to the JSA. Before a decision can be reached, the nation of
Kahndaq's new ruler, the mysterious Black Adam, summons the
atomic champion back to the Middle East. When the JSA follows,
all are forced to question the very concept of what it means
to be a hero.
Thanks
to the fact that the majority of this story is told from an
alternate timeline, one where the origins of the individual
JSA members are being systematically erased from time, you
do get the feeling that anything can and will happen. This
helps to provide some much needed jeopardy - which is all
too absent in most super hero collections.
Striking
art, a great plot, and some surprising revelations make this
a must read story for any serious JSA fan.
