JSA by Geoff Johns #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of JSA by Geoff Johns collects the early issues of the 1999 relaunch of the Justice Society of America, following the team as they rebuild after the events of Zero Hour. Johns reintroduces classic Golden Age heroes like Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, and Carter Hall alongside newer legacy characters such as Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl) and Jack Knight (Starman), as they face threats from old foes like the Injustice Society and the mysterious villain Extant. The collection establishes the JSA as a family of heroes bridging generations, with a focus on legacy and the weight of history.
"Gathering Storms" kicks off a bold new era for the Justice Society of America, with David Goyer and James Robinson leading a fresh take on the legacy heroes. When Mordru, a force of Chaos, targets magic-wielders tied to Fate's legacy in a bid to seize the next Fate’s power, the death of the Sandman sends a haunting message through a dream to his former ward, Sandy Hawkins. Now stepping into his mentor’s role as Sand, Sandy begins assembling a new JSA—guided by secrets only he can uncover. Scott Benefiel’s dynamic art, with inks by Mark Propst and vibrant colors by John Kalisz and Digital Chameleon, brings the mystical threat to life, while Alan Davis’s striking cover captures the weight of this turning point.

Mordru, as an agent of Chaos, begins to attack magic-based heroes tied into Fate's legacy, so as to learn the whereabouts of the new Fate about to appear, so he can absorb his magicks for himself and make himself more powerful than ever. He attempts to get the information from Sandman, but fails when Sandman commits suicide by falling off a cliff to his death. The information, however, is forwarded to his former ward, Sandy Hawkins, in a dream as he sees his mentor dying. He then takes up his mentor's role as Sand, and begins to gather a new JSA together from that information.
