I'll try it no matter what, but those first panels look way too similar to JLA #0...

Okay- exactly Who is Jesse's husband?

Okay- exactly Who is Jesse's husband?

My guess would be Hourman (Rick Tyler). In the last series, it was hinted at that they could turn into an item. More than likely they married during the missing year. I noticed Hourman wasn't in the OYL later story done by Levitz. Who wants to bet he was not there because he and Jesse were on their honeymoon?

I like the cover. Reminds me of the cover to All-Star Squadron #1. I wouldnt be surpised if thats the idea.

I'm looking forward to this series.

Looks awesome. And I actually like how it's similar to JLA #0. It makes sense to me to start these two books over again the same year and parallel to one another. I'm interested to see where this is going to go.

okay I'm sold. I was a bit hesitant, but the preview has toppled me off the fence into the yes camp.

So when was this World War III they mention? Is that infinite crisis or are they referring to something in 52?

The first issue looks good, I've always been a fan of JSA ut never actually bought the book. For some reason I always get JLA. Though if Hourman, Doctor Mid-Nite, and Sand (love his new suit) aren't on the team I'm dropping it.

I love all three of those characters, but as long as Wildcat is there I'm in. Honestly, other than the current Mr Terrific I don't dislike any of the members. And even then my dislike for him is strictly based on his look. It reminds me of the "extreme 90s" and that doesn't really fit with the rest of the team.

From the interviews I read (could be on Newsarama) this was definitely the idea.

Anyway, I cannot wait for this series. JSA has always been my favourite DC team.

"Witness the return of the world's greatest hero"? That should be interesting. Who can they mean?

I'm not sure I like all this stuff about Power Girl being the "sole survivor" of a parallel universe - all the JSA come from the same place!

But I love that Liberty Belle's daughter is in the new team. I was a big fan of the All Star Squadron back in the 80s (which I would love DC to do again, showing what happened during WWII in post-Crisis continuity). My memory of the original Liberty Belle was that her powers were enhanced speed and strength, directly linked to the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.

But I don't remember her being a 'powerhouse' - not in the way that Wonder Woman or Power Girl are. I always saw her powers being more along the lines of Hourman. So it will be interesting to see what Jesse's power levels are, and also who her husband is!

But mostly, I am looking forward to seeing how the JSA is positioned in the new universe, and how the team's role will be different to the JLA. It must be an incredibly difficult comic to write, because unlike other super teams, the JSA and JLA will always be directly compared because - originally - they were parallel versions of the same team on different earths.

But the other members had their histories folded into the history of New Earth, so they actually were born there and spent all their lives there, though they now have the "infamous" vague memories of the other timeline. Power Girl spent part of her life on Earth 2, then was dumped on New Earth as an adult with confusing and contradictory memories. In that way, she is the sole survivor of Earth 2.

I'm quessing it's Johnny Quick. The photo has Jesse's last name as Chambers; Johnny's real last name. Plus the two were an item in All -Star Squadron.

Technically, isn't Power Girl now the sole survivor of Krypton-2?

I like the grey hair look for Green Lantern. Very dignified.

Also, very, very minor continuity quibble, but Wildcat was not a founding member of the JSA, he was one of the later original members and only appeared a couple of times before the JSA's original run ended.

He was featured heavily upon the JSA's "return" though and really hasn't stopped appearing with them since.

So I wonder if Rex will ever rebuild Ty....

I've been wondering the same thing. According to Rip Hunter, Tyler was going to be out of the picture "for a relative year", meaning that for the members of the JSA, a year would go by before they'd see Tyler again. He said this while helping the JSA battle Per Degaton in the late 40s. This conflict happened in the weeks between Identity Crisis and all the events of Infinite Crisis. Its now OYL which means Tyler should either be back by now or coming back pretty soon.

World War III was the Mageddon storyline from Morrison's run on JLA. Here's the wiki for it:

Here's my theory behind Ty, he gets build by a Rex from the past in the future but then he gets broken and Rex trys to fix him but realizes he'll never be able to do it. So he travels to the future and builds a company and tells his employees to pull him form the past get him to help then mindwipe him and send him back. His first priority is to rebuild the fallen android. So maybe Ty was never actually built but is in a paradox of always being fixed.

PS.Hourman's new costume sucks, where's the hood?

It's still there. Look at the side-view in the panel on the right. Plus, the Alex Ross cover had him in the same costume anyway.

All the updated costumes for the relaunch were designed by Ross.

I honestly still can't see it, it looks like a mask with like a nub on the back then his cape.

I think they are trying to make it a little more plausable. Traditionally, there's nothing to keep Hourman's hood in place so that the eyeholes stay in front of his eyes.

This is more a loose mask than a hood, which is actually more believable.

Hellstormer

10-22-2006, 12:33 PM

The hoods cooler, it doesn't need to be the hood mask thing like it was maybe even go back to the original hood over a mask, Hourman needs a hood plain and simple.

Let's hope the JSAers finish looking at the photos faster than the JLAers did. I like the idea of a big team and the new members look interesting. The art looks sort of blah to me.

Will this new series explain where Sand was during the OYL story? And maybe where Jesse was between her being hired by the JSA and the Liberty Bell story? Will it explain her powers?

From her very early appearances, Jesses always pointed out that she got speed from her daddy and increased strength from her mommy.
