Justice Society of America (2006)
In what is basically a sequel series to the previous JSA series, Johns and Goyer return to the Justice Society and do even more than that, they expand the roster even more than it already was. There are several characters brought in such as a Starman from the 31st century, Liberty Belle (who Arrowverse fans already know as Jesse Chambers from The Flash), and many others, including another teen hero, Cyclone.
There’s so much to love about this series. From the burgeoning friendship of Cyclone and Stargirl to the camaraderie of the Justice Society as a group, this series does a wonderful job with its characters in every issue. No matter who the character is, they are treated with reverence and care that many team books simply aren’t able to pull off every issue. But here, each character is handled incredibly well and they are hard not to love.
As the series goes on, there are several great stories as well, with a big one coming to mind being “Thy Kingdom Come” which is a sequel of sorts to the Mark Waid/Alex Ross series Kingdom Come. So really, you should come for the great handling of the Justice Society and stay for the excellent stories that are told.
