Justice Society of America

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).

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – May 7 2025

May 2, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

Birds of Prey (2023) #21, a DC Comics May 7 2025 new releaseNext week is the 19th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics May 7 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 30 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Things get explosive for Birds of Prey, Absolute Braniac, New 52 omnis for Suicide Squad & Nightwing, Atom Project & Black Canary deliver their finales, Zdarsky’s final Batman collection, compact Kingdom Come, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Despite my heart beating faster just from thinking of reading Absolute Superman (2024) #7, this week I have to go with Birds of Prey (2023) #21 from Kelly Thompson, Sami Basri, Adriano Lucas, and Clayton Cowles! The script for issue #20 was nearly as good as the instant-classic script for #1, and the cliffhanger has had me wanting a follow-up all month long!

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics May 7 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

A word of warning – despite overall loving DC’s output right now, this is probably my least-favorite release week slate from DC in each month. Buckle up for some ruthless reviews.

This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every in-continuity series with a new issue out this week. Plus, for most new releases, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

And now, onto DC Comics May 7 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – May 7 2025

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 Infinity Inc.

September 5, 2022 by krisis

I’m back with a third and final foray (for now) into my initial exploration of the JSA after my Guide to Doctor Fate and Guide to Justice Society of America launches over the past week for Pledgeonaut Patrons of CK. For this third guide, I realized that a title I was trying to mash into the JSA guide deserved its own space – just as its cast broke away from the JSA in 1984 to form their own superhero that withstood the transition from Earth Two to Earth One. Of course, I’m referring to JSA’s original next generation, now covered in my Guide to Infinity Inc!

This guide will remain exclusive to Patrons even after the public debut of the JSA Guide in October.

Infinity Inc. occupies a unique and often-forgotten corner of the DC Universe as a book that had as many Pre-Crisis issues set on Earth Two as it had Post-Crisis issues set in DC’s main continuity.

If you’re not familiar with any Crisis other than me, allow me to explain that to you!

In 1984, the Teen Titans were a wildly popular title for DC – effectively, their X-Men and New Mutants rolled into one! If the Teen Titans were the next generation of the Justice League, then it made sense to introduce Infinity Inc. as the next generation of the Justice Society of America (JSA) of Earth Two. The JSA were DC’s Golden Age heroes who kept on living and aging on a parallel Earth to the main Silver Age and Bronze Age Earth where they introduced the Justice League.

At the time, the JSA didn’t even have a present-day title of their own, so the launch arc for their junior team had to be a time travel story set in 1942 in the pages of the JSA’s retcon title, All-Star Squadron! The original team a number of JSA legacy heroes like Alan Scott’s children Jade and Obsidian, The Atom’s godson Nuklon, Hawkman and Hawkgirl’s son Silver Scarab, Wonder Woman & Steve Trevor’s daughter Fury, Batman and Catwoman’s daughter Huntress, Superman’s relative Powergirl, and more.

Infinity Inc. became the home to Earth Two adventures in DC’s Universe in 1984 and 1985, where the team battled the evil Helix – including a character modern readers would come to know as the D.E.O.’s Director Bones! Then, Crisis on Infinite Earths happened. This was DC’s way of simplifying their complex, multi-Earth history – including merging Earth Two into Earth One!
