Enjoy some Jerry Ordway JSA goodness

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

By Alex Segura

Writer/artist Jerry Ordway steps in for a few issues before the new regular team of Bill Willingham, Matt Sturges and artist Jesus Merino take over, and he’s got some fun stuff in store. The younger members of the JSA find their headquarters in lockdown mode — with Flash, Green Lantern and Wildcat stuck inside. Can the junior team break into their own base? And what Atomic Age secret returns to haunt the three JSA founders? Find out some of the answers — and a few new questions — in the pages below.

JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #27 hits 5/27.

    Ouch, two months of bad dialogs. Sturges can’t come fast enough. Or probably it’s me who’s too young too appreciate old-fashioness.

  2. RockinRich says on :

    Ordawy needs to be doing a Superman book, preferably monthly.

    Just wanted to give props to DC for featuring an openly gay character (Obsidian) in one of their top-tier titles.

    That being said, I don’t see Todd in this preview image for JSA #29

    Hope he’s not lost in the shuffle of the new creative team.

    For more details on Obsidian, here is a link to his Wiki page:

    On a final note, I appreciate that Willingham and Sturges are returning Dr. Fate to the fold with Issue #30.

    Looks good. And I thought Bones was the director of the DEO. Not some run of the mill agent.

    I agree with RockinRich above…get Da Ordster back on a Superman book as the regular artist!

    Please, DC, keep bringing us work from Mr. Ordway. He’s brilliant.

    @ RockinRich & Jeff Cope….
    YES!
    Ordway needs to be back on Superman.
    A classy classic artist on a classic character like Superman.
    I hope someone in charge at DC is reading this….

    [...] of next week’s Justice Society of America #27. [...]

    Classic characters needs a modern creators. Other way their classicality may turn to obsoleteness. Hope people in charge at DC has enough of common senses to understand that.

    @ Gorbunov,
    I couldn’t agree more.
    Yes, a fresh angle in story is good thing…a very good thing,
    but when it comes to the look of a Superman book, most artists (and this is just my opinion) don’t capture the essence of the “hero”. Consistency is something I like in the look of Superman and Ordway CAN deliver. If Ordway would be on one of the Superman books in the next year or so I’d enthusiastically buy it whereas right now I’m staying away. (At least until the trade of New World of Krypton comes out) Full disclosure: I’m 38 years old and I think Curt Swan was the greatest Superman artist ever…back in the 70’s and 80’s I didn’t care who was writing, I would always pick up a Superman book with Swan’s art.
