I’ve solely seen a glimpse of DC Comics’ newest villain crew, however I am all for the brand new villains which can be filling its ranks. DC’s upcoming All In initiative is bringing again quite a lot of fan favorites, together with the Justice Society of America. However the legendary crew is about to face off in opposition to some acquainted faces we have solely simply met.
Like each different enormous DC fan, I am eagerly ready for DC All In to start out. I used to be there at Comedian-Con when the writer introduced the return of the JSA and November’s solicitations gave us an in-depth take a look at the crew’s brand-new collection.

Whereas I used to be pleased to see my favourite Golden Age heroes once more, I used to be much more occupied with seeing their villains on Cully Hamner’s variant for JSA #1. Basic foes like Johnny Sorrow and Solomon Grundy are there, however to my shock, the Fog, Physician Elemental, and the Crimson Lantern Ruby are with the Injustice Society as properly.
DC’s New Golden Age Villains Unite to Oppose the Justice Society
As somebody who appreciates the DCU’s previous guard, I used to be excited when the writer revealed its JSA-centric push, the New Golden Age. The initiative included three miniseries specializing in Wesley Dodds, Alan Scott, and Jay Garrick. These tales, set in each the previous and current DCU launched followers to new facets of those heroes, together with villains we’d by no means seen. There was the Sandman’s twisted reverse, the Fog, or Physician Elemental, the mad scientist who gave Flash his powers. These new foes had been improbable additions to the Justice Society’s mythologies and I couldn’t wait to see the place they popped up subsequent.
The Injustice Society is a pure place to place the JSA’s new enemies, although I’m a bit confused as to how all of them get there. Elemental, I perceive since he was seemingly recruited by an unknown determine on the finish of the Jay Garrick miniseries. As for the Fog, he fell from a constructing in Sandman’s story, however even when he survived, he’d be historical by now. To not point out, the Justice Society is making an attempt to redeem Ruby within the present JSA collection, so I’m fairly curious to see how she finally ends up with the Injustice Society.
The JSA Has Thrilling New Villains for Its New Period
Greater than anything, I’m simply pleased to see the Injustice Society is mixing it up with new and previous villains. There’s no purpose to do away with the JSA’s extra notable antagonists, however that doesn’t imply we shouldn’t see extra from their newer villains. Assuming that is the precise Injustice Society lineup, it is a nice assortment of villains who can problem the heroic crew everyone knows and love. I don’t know the way these new DC Universe villains are with group dynamics, however I can’t wait to see them in motion.
JSA #1 is out there on November sixth, 2024.
