Capitalizing on the popularity of the JLA, DC at last managed to pull off a successful revival of the Justice Society, the first super-team in comics. Part of the credit also belongs to James Robinson, the author of the excellent Starman series, and to the fact that the ugly continuity problems that plagued many earlier attempts at revival have been sorted out to a more or less stable, if not always satisfactory, degree. Robinson settles the question of membership (over 20 potential members of the team existed) by killing off several possible candidates, but I think the members he chose are the best ones. The plots and characterization are excellent, as usual for Robinson. It is best if you have some familiarity with the characters, but at any rate, don't miss this series!
