A new era begins for the JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

In about a month or two Justice will be served up fresh and furious by a brand new team starting with JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #29! That’s right, fabled writers Bill Willingham & Matthew Sturges will join phenom artist Jesus Merino just as several new members join the storied super-hero team itself in a story arc that’s sure to shake the JSA and the group’s Mansion headquarters to its very core!

Almost every villain available AND their brother have joined the bounty hunt for almost every single member of the JSA… while a murderous mystery takes hold at their home base—with two new legacy members at the center of the storm!

That’s the general pitch—but so you don’t think this is just another biased load of hype you really DO have to take a look at the attached bunch of pages from the first couple of issues of this storyline—called THE BAD SEED! These pictures by amazing artist Jesus Merino really ARE worth a thousand words so I will basically shut up from here on!

I did say basically… because I don’t want to sell the writers and their contributions short either… bringing a fresh—if skewed look to the show, Willingham & Sturges are outdoing themselves. And while I can’t speak to their day-in-and-day-out interaction/collaboration… they seem to be on the same page—though something tells me that the JSA might not be the only team shaken up by this lead off adventure!

Oh… and some folks will be returning to the JSA, too… so the fate of this series really IS in good hands!

BLUE BEETLE co-feature pages? We got ‘em

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

By Alex Segura

Well, surprise news. There’s one co-feature we haven’t shown pages from, and that’s BLUE BEETLE, which will be setting up shop with BOOSTER GOLD starting with #21 of that series, from writer Matt Sturges and artist Mike Norton. In the first installment, Jaime Reyes has a friendly lunch interrupted by a marauding 50-foot robot. Sound like a fun break? Didn’t think so. Check out some colored pages below.

First look at the new JUSTICE SOCIETY creative team

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

By Alex Segura

With Geoff Johns moving on from his long tenure as writer of JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA with the 26th issue of the current series, I’m sure many of you are wondering just what is in store for the world’s first super-team. Well, for starters, we have writer/artist Jerry Ordway stepping in for a stint, to be followed by the new regular creative team of writers Bill Willingham and Matt Sturges and artist Jesus Merino. While you may be familiar with the work of Willingham and Sturges — either on Vertigo’s FABLES or their work on SHADOWPACT and SALVATION RUN — we wanted to make sure you knew exactly what kind of ultra-detailed goodness you’d be getting from Merino, so here’s a nice helping of art from JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #29, which you’ll see on stands this summer.
