Every Missing Justice Society Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

May 17, 2025 by krisis 2 Comments

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - Justice Society Omnibus Mapping 2025It’s time to map the DC Universe! In June, I’ll be joining with Near Mint Condition to launch the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 2nd Annual Poll! This post explains every Justice Society omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Through the end of May I’ll be covering DC entire publishing history by mapping missing omnibus volumes to fill in every gap in your DC oversize shelf! That’s all leading to the kickoff of the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 2nd Annual Poll on Near Mint Condition the first week of June.

The Justice Society of America is one of the most confusing concepts in DC continuity – so confusing that they have repeatedly decided to erase it from continuity, only to bring it back!

Here’s the most basic explanation: The Justice Society was the Justice League of the Golden Age, gathering together a number of popular solo heroes into a team – including Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. However, when DC created the Justice League in the Silver Age, it no longer made sense for earlier incarnations of the characters to have been on a team together.

As a result, the JSA stayed firmly rooted in Golden Age “Earth-Two” continuity – which DC then began to bring back for their annual “Crisis on Multiple Earths” stories in Justice League. This eventually blossomed into the JSA getting their own alternate-Earth title in the 1970s and 1980s. However, that was deemed too confusing, so Crisis on Infinite Earths merged the Earths. In the process, it did away with any JSA character that conflicted with a main continuity version (like Wonder Woman), but kept unique characters (like Jay Garrick as Flash and Alan Scott as Green Lantern).

Got it? Good, because there’s more.

After a decade of tellings JSA stories set largely in the past (which were now in continuity), in 1999 the surviving modern day JSA members reformed the JSA with a focus on mentoring younger heroes. That lasted until Flashpoint in 2011! Since Flashpoint collapsed all of DC’s history to have occurred in just five years, it once again erased the JSA – relegating those characters to exist only in a revised version of Earth Two. However, in Rebirth DC decided that the erasure of the JSA was actually THE CAUSE of New 52 happening, as explored by Doomsday Clock, which led to Scott Snyder & James Tynion bringing the team back (both to the present day and to DC’s history) during Justice League (2018).

Whew!

Maybe owing to that intense level of continuity confusing, the JSA have only ever merited omnibuses in that 1999 modern day run, mostly written by James Robinson & Geoff Johns. However, as you can imagine from the explanation above, there is a lot more to collect than that! To see my full bibliographic coverage of every JSA comic book, check out the Guide to the Justice Society of America (JSA).

DC Teams: JSA, Trinity, & Justice League Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Poll

May 9, 2024 by krisis

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - Justice League and JSA Omnibus MappingIt’s time to map some team titles! I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted DC omnibus volumes every day until May 19th! Then, on the 19th, I’ll be joining with Near Mint Condition to launch the first annual Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Annual Poll! This post covers omnibuses missing from the Justice League, Justice Society (AKA JSA), as well as “Trinity” team-ups between Batman, Superman, and/or Wonder Woman.

This post explains potential Justice League Omnibus Mapping for votes on the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Secret Ballot. I’m posting all of these maps before the poll begins to give people the time to consider their favorites, correct our mapping mistakes, and catch books I might have missed.

If you don’t know DC well enough to know what to vote for, stick around for my explanations! Learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including giving us feedback if we missed the mark.

If voting is now open, you can use this as your crib sheet! Or… just find some great comics to read!

Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how DC could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of DC creating a book with that title or covering that period.

High-effort, heavily-researched, over-the-top comics posts like this one are made possible via the support of Patrons of Crushing Krisis. For less than the cost of a single comic issue a month you can fuel my in-depth comics coverage, plus gain access to dozens of exclusive collecting guides & reading orders – including all of the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics.

New for Patrons: Guide to Justice Society of America

September 3, 2022 by krisis

After working on the Guide to Doctor Fate launch earlier this week for Pledgeonaut Patrons of CK, I realized it was time for me to finally dive into one of the few corners of DC Universe continuity that I still find intimidating. That’s because this team has been repeatedly in and out of continuity, they’ve been residents of multiple Earths (and at the center of several crises), and their membership spans multiple generations of heroes. I am talking about the original comic super-team that first debuted back in 1940, now completely explained in my Guide to Justice Society of America!

Guide to Justice Society of America

This guide will debut to the public the week that the Black Adam movie releases to theatres!

This is one of those times where I always hoped someone else on the internet would have explained things by now, but they didn’t so I had to take things into my own hands. Yes, I read Wikipedia and Fandom. Yes, I checked out some sites dedicated to the Justice Society. All of them explained the timeline of the JSA either with needless complexity or with the assumption of the reader being a DC Insider.

That’s not good enough for me. I want my guides to be able to explain things to someone who decided to read a comic for the very first time and just happened to pick the title covered by that guide. Many of my older guides are way too complex for that – I have a lot of work to do! But, my newer style of coverage strives for completeness but also clarity.

As it turns out, creating a Guide to Justice Society of America doesn’t have to be all that complicated. If you’ve ever wanted the cliff notes on the team, here’s the simplest way I can explain it: [Read more…] about New for Patrons: Guide to Justice Society of America
