It's been confirmed that the Justice Society will be returning to mainstream DC continuity in September in Scott Snyder's Justice League #31. This may be the best news I've seen this year.

Finally another new comic book series to at least try out! Let us hope for the best on this for the geriatric forefathers of the Metamucil age!

Well no series announcd yet (though Snyder has been hinting he has plans for one), they are just part of the Justice League vs. Legion of Doom event arc Snyder has been building to as part of his Justice League run.
Now a new Legion series by Bendis and Sook has been announced for September as well, but the JSA is just appearing in another book.

IF Bendis can get readers to connect again with the WWII heroes in the present day over several stories to the point where interest is there to carrying them forward. Those of us old-timer's who cherish and love the JSA are not enough to carry an ongoing. It will be new and younger readers that make the decision if a new JSA series is worth DC doing or not. Sales are the key for their re-introduction. |

It's Snyder not Bendis doing JSA, and the story is one that spans travel through time and universes, so they may not be encountering the JSA in the present day but via time or inter-dimensional travel. -M |

@mrp ... I'm confused, is JSA is going to have it's own book? It hasn't been announced yet. They will feature in a JLA storyline by Snyder, in September, and that's all that's been officially announced. In an interview Snyder has said he has more plans for them, and has wanted to write a JSA book for a long time, but nothing official has been announced yet. So as of now, no they are not going to have their own book in September. After that storyline is complete, who knows. Probably. But nothing has been announced. It's June, September is a few months away. August is San Diego Comic Con. October is NY Comic Con. Most of the big announcements are held back for those two shows, so you'll have to wait and see. My guess is after the JLA storyline runs in September and October, they will announce a new JSA book with Snyder attached at NYCC that will likely launch in January or February, but that's me reading between the lines, not anything official. -M |

I'd bet it's going to happen and looking forward to it about as much as the Legion coming back; my two favorite team books !

Mixed feelings. Excited because I really want the JSA back. Cautious because I have been disappointed before. Adopting a wait & see approach.

At this point I have pretty much ZERO interest in a JSA that isn't set some time prior to 1955. If that were the case I might be interested if the creative team is good. A JSA set in the present means either that the characters are at least perilously close to 100 or it's just a group called the JSA for...reasons.

The Rascally One had them in Limbo for a major portion of their lives after WWII and I think it was Geoff Johns (where is Cei-U! when you need him?) who used that as reasoning for their extended lifetimes and agelessness in their last incarnation in modern times. |
