With the release of the new 52 "earth 2" the justice society is back and im wondering everyones thoughts on jay garrick and alan scott being brought back into the spotlight

It's a good book, but it is not the JSA. As someone whose favourite superteam is the JSA, I am sorely disappointed in DC for wiping out the JSA from history.

With a great former JSA writer in Geoff Johns in a powerful position, I hoping for a major retcon that brings back the JSA history stretching back to WWII.

So much this. Especially the bolded. I would say the characters are not the characters either (like, that is not Jay Garrick) - being "old people" was part of their character - passing down knowledge & tradition to the next generations of heroes.

Wait, i may look stupid, but what do you mean when you say JSA reboot? Don't they have there own earth 2 title?

this

They should've done something about Earth-2 being a Earth that is still stuck in the times of World War II.

From what I heard it was a good book and from me skimming through the book at my local comic shop it did look interesting and the art was great. However I don't like the idea of the Justice Society being modern. DC already had a modern day Justice Society. They are called the Justice League. Justice Society should be allowed to be old.

Both of these posts are perfect.

I like Earth 2 the way it is.

@catsnlynne:

And did you ever like the JSA before new 52? And if so, what stood out to you about the pre-new 52 JSA?

I also want to point out that it's taking way too long to actually form the team together. It's been like 16 issues and they're still not a team. This feels like the slowest story ever.

true i feel like jay and alan are too different from the original characters not in a bad way but they make alan so damn stubborn to join a team itll be hard to make him cooperate i think they just made jay and especially alan come into their powers way too fast like alan was lready a veteran by the time i was half way through volume 1 he knew how to use everything it seemed

Things are looking good thoguh on the Earth 2 book.
