Jsa Vol. 1: Infinity Inc. vs. the Justice Society - by Jeff Lemire

Book Synopsis

A new era of DC's original super team begins, as part of DC's new reader-friendly, bestselling All In initiative--written by Sweet Tooth creator Jeff Lemire!

The Justice Society of America returns! Fan-favorite characters Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Jade, Obsidian, Jesse Quick, Hourman, Ted Grant, and Sandman are all back on the roster as DC's first super-team faces their greatest and most personal challenge yet.

Will golden age ideals hold true in a world recovering from the events of the blockbuster, game-changing story Absolute Power? Or do they need a more hardcore approach to stand a chance against the new Injustice Society of America?

Beyond external foes, internal strife also threaten the JSA--such as the rift between siblings Jade and Obsidian, and the disappearance of the Tower of Fate!

From writer Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Robin & Batman) and artist Diego Olortegui (Jay Garrick: The Flash, Aquaman: The Becoming), it's an all-new start for the multi-generational heroes of Justice Society of America!

This volume collects JSA #1-6.
