The original superhero team-up, Justice Society of America is Earth's mightiest squad of defenders whose dynamic ranks include Powergirl, Dr. Mid-Nite, Mr. Terrific, Dr. Fate and star of TV's Justice League - Hawkgirl! When Black Adam, former villain-turned-hero and JSA member, leads a ragtag team of ex-villains and misguided heroes into a killing mission in Kahndaq and takes control of the country, the oppressed people love him - but the rest of the JSA aren't happy! Hawkman takes control of the Justice Society to stop Adam and his mighty team-mates, but the consequences for all involved are life-changing...and in some cases, life-ending! Will the JSA ever be the same again?

Grade 7 Up–A densely packed, well-written superhero comic of epic proportions. The story itself is set in a place that will remind most readers of current-day Iraq. Characters (hero and villain alike) face serious moral questions like What is justice? Is a hero really a hero if he fights to stop people who are liberating their country? Is it ever right to kill? Often, readers must stop to ask themselves who the heroes really are–and there are no concrete answers. Very few comics have created superheroes with such realistic issues. The illustrations are reminiscent of those from the DC Comics' heyday; they are dark, action packed, and full of energy (even if they do have bustier women who show a little bit more skin).–Scott La Counte, Anaheim Public Library, CA
