The JSA is divided, handling multiple matters in different
eras. Several heroes find themselves in Ancient Egypt, fighting
the immortal villain Vandal Savage and an earlier incarnation
of the powerful Black Adam. Meanwhile, Power Girl and Dr.
Mid-Nite have their hands full with separate cases. And in
the background, forces are moving, as several champions begin
questioning where they stand in the cause of justice...
Savage
Times is a pretty impressive JSA collection. Geoff
Johns and David Goyer do a fantastic job of weaving their
intricate, and very different, takes on the JSA universe.
There
are some very humorous moments in this collection. My favourite
being Lucius/D-Bomb and his sexual fixation with Power Girl
(well, don't most males fancy her?) But his unhealthy obsession
even stretches, quite literally, to him wearing Power Girl
underwear. Oops! That little secret wasn't meant to be discovered.
And his macho bullsh*t speech and his healthy regime make
this little secret all the more amusing.
Leonard
Kirk and Patrick Gleason's artwork is also worth mentioning.
The opening, Power Girl pages of Savage Times are quite
erotic - in their own perverse way. The illustrations for
Yesterday's War are beautifully detailed - this story
will also appeal to fans of Egyptian mythology.
There's
something for everyone here - thanks to the fact that there
is a good balance of different styles between the stories.
JSA fans will love this collection.
