☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Supertown, Part One," the Justice Society of America grapples with the fallout of a city rebuilt on uncertain ground, as Flash oversees Monument Point’s fragile recovery. When Dennis Hogan brings Dr. Chaos into the fold and Flash defies Dr. Fate to keep Scythe imprisoned locally, tensions boil over—especially after a deadly threat forces Flash away, leaving Lightning to stand between Obsidian and Scythe. With the mayor and Lightning collapsing in mysterious silence, the city’s fate hangs in the balance. Written by Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by Mike Norton, with colors by Mike Atiyeh and letters by Rob Leigh, the issue’s cover by Scott Kolins captures the moment’s escalating dread.
In "Supertown, Part One," the Justice Society of America faces a terrifying threat when a powerful metahuman Islamic terrorist, long imprisoned in Afghanistan, unleashes chaos on Monument Point, a city just outside Washington DC. As the JSA fights to contain the destruction, Green Lantern is gravely wounded early on, leaving the team struggling to hold the line—until Lightning pushes beyond her limits and delivers the final blow, allowing Dr. Fate to seal the enemy away.
In "Supertown, Part Two," the Flash grapples with the weight of a past mission gone wrong during World War II, realizing his and Green Lantern's failure directly led to the rise of the super-powered terrorist Scythe. Determined to make amends, he chooses to stay in Monument Point and help rebuild the town, facing the consequences of history with quiet resolve.
In "Supertown, Part Three," Flash struggles to rebuild Monument Point while tensions rise over the decision to keep Scythe imprisoned there despite Dr. Fate’s objections. When a death threat targets the mayor and Lightning, Obsidian arrives to take matters into his own hands—only for the situation to spiral when both Lightning and the mayor collapse, leaving the city in shock.
In "Supertown, Part Four," Flash races to preserve Lightning’s body while Dr. Mid-Nite and Dr. Fate work to save her soul—just as Dr. Chaos makes a dangerous offer to Mr. Terrific. With the stakes rising, Wildcat, Mr. America, and Dr. Mid-Nite confront the truth behind the mayor’s death and Lightning’s fall, only to be cut short by the sudden return of the Flash and the arrival of Scythe.
In "Supertown, Part Five," Obsidian’s defiance leads him straight into Scythe’s clutches, setting off a chain reaction as the villain breaks free and moves toward Dr. Mid-Nite, Wildcat, and Flash. With Flash forced to evacuate Scythe from the city and Chaos smugly claiming the JSA is unraveling, the true architect of the chaos is finally revealed—though their motives remain shrouded in mystery.
In the final chapter of "Supertown," the JSA All-Stars face the consequences of Dr. Chaos’s chaos as Green Lantern arrives to confront Scythe’s escalating threat. With Monument Point in ruins and the city’s future uncertain, the team makes a lasting commitment to rebuild—while Dennis Hogan names the Flash its new mayor.
