☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Geoff Johns' celebrated JSA run collects issues #26-45 and JSA Secret Files #2, chronicling the team's battles against the villainous Injustice Society and the return of the original Hawkman. The collection deepens the legacy-hero concept as the Justice Society faces threats from both classic foes like Black Adam and new dangers like the extradimensional Johnny Sorrow, while exploring character arcs for members like Atom Smasher, Dr. Mid-Nite, and Hawkgirl. Johns weaves together DC's Golden Age history with modern storytelling, cementing the JSA as a cornerstone of the DC Universe.
In "Sorrow Ever More!", the Justice Society of America faces their darkest hour as Hawkman and Hawkgirl narrowly escape execution—only to rally the team in a desperate bid to stop Onimar Synn, who’s absorbed all the Nth metal on Thanagar, including the Claw of Horus. With their usual tactics failing, the JSA must find a new way to fight back, leading to a powerful moment of unity between Hawkman and Hawkgirl that could change everything. Written by Geoff Johns and David Goyer, with dynamic art by Steve Sadowski and inks by Michael Bair, David Meikis, Paul Neary, and Rob Leigh, and colors by John Kalisz and Heroic Age, this issue features a striking cover by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer.
In "Injustice Be Done, Part 1: Divide and Conquer," Geoff Johns crafts a tense, atmospheric chapter as the Injustice Society distracts the JSA, allowing Johnny Sorrow to push forward his dark plan. With Louis Sendak—once the Scarab—now a vessel for the King of Tears, the balance of power in the supernatural realm begins to shift.
In the aftermath of their battle with the Injustice Society, Sand, Dr. Mid-Nite, and Black Canary track down Johnny Sorrow, determined to prevent him from unleashing the King of Tears upon their world. As they close in, the line between vengeance and justice grows thinner—each step deeper into the mystery tests their resolve and their bond.
In "Injustice Be Done, Part 4: Into the Labyrinth," Black Adam brings Wildcat to the Rock of Eternity, where they meet the new Spectre—only to return to Earth and face the King of Tears, whose rampage through Manhattan proves too much even for the Spectre’s power.
In "Injustice Be Done, Part 5: Godspeed," the Spectre confronts the King of Tears with grim resolve, only to realize his power isn't enough. With Dr. Mid-Nite and Mr. Terrific devising a desperate strategy, Black Adam channels his speed into Flash, unleashing a blow that shatters space-time itself. As the JSA regroups, Flash awakens in ancient Egypt—face to face with figures from a forgotten past.
In the aftermath of the JSA’s harrowing battles with the Injustice Society and the King of Tears, Hawkgirl receives a startling revelation from the celestial being Zauriel. Meanwhile, in ancient Egypt, Prince Khufu shares a profound discovery with the Flash, hinting at secrets long buried beneath the sands.
In "Lost Friends," the JSA grapples with a haunting revelation about Hawkgirl’s true identity, while a past journey reveals how a Thanagarian ship’s crash in ancient Egypt unlocked the secrets of Nth metal. Flash, using Teth-Adam’s speed, races through time to return the claw of Horus—just as Hawkgirl vanishes into the skies of Thanagar.
In "Ascension," Geoff Johns crafts a stirring chapter of the JSA’s mission to Thanagar, where Hawkgirl uncovers the planet’s grim oppression under Onimar Synn and the secret resistance working to awaken Hawkman from the Well of Spirits. As the Justice Society arrives, the moment of reckoning begins—Hawkman rising to reunite with the love he’s waited lifetimes to find.
In "Icarus Fell," Geoff Johns crafts a pulse-pounding chapter of JSA as the team—now including Hawkman—faces off against Onimar Synn and his forces in the skyborne city of Thalrassa. Overwhelmed and outmatched, the heroes are scattered, leaving Hawkman and Hawkgirl at the mercy of Synn’s cruel fate.
In "Seven Devils," Geoff Johns crafts a pulse-pounding chapter of the JSA where Hawkman and Hawkgirl narrowly escape execution, rallying the team to confront the rising threat of Onimar Synn. With the villain now wielding the power of Nth metal and the Claw of Horus, the JSA must find a way to fight back when brute force fails—until a desperate union of spirit and will offers a glimmer of hope.
When the Justice League and the Justice Society of America gather for their first annual Thanksgiving celebration, the festive spirit is shattered by the sudden arrival of Despero and Johnny Sorrow, who manipulate the heroes into turning on one another. Geoff Johns crafts a tense, character-driven clash as old rivalries and buried tensions surface under the weight of deception.
