Justice Society of America Vol. 1: The Next Age

Geoff Johns

DC Comics, 2008

J.S.A. rules!!!
I've been collecting comics on and off since I was a kid and the Justice Society has always been my all time favorite team. I've been a group/team comic collector versus the single hero adventure stories. I've collected the Avengers,JLA,Invaders,Champions,Teen Titans,Legion of Super Heroes and so on. But I always come back to my favorite, and that has to do with any team/hero from Earth 2. I have ...

I couldn't have been more surprised
If you're a fan of DC's JSA, you owe it to yourself to read THE JUSTICE SOCIETY VOLUME 1 trade paperback. Collecting ALL-STAR COMICS #58-67, plus the origin of the JSA from DC SPECIAL #29, this book presents the "modern" pre-Crisis adventures of the Earth-2 Justice Society, with the original members (Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Wildcat, Batman, and Superman) growing old and gray, ...

Social Justice In A Diverse Society

Westview Press, 1997

Helps to clarify the still murky meaning of "justice."
A highly recommended analysis of different meanings of justice: distributive, procedural, and retributive. This review focuses upon three features of the book that deserve widespread public discussion: (a) fair "procedural justice," (b) the central role of social identities, and (c) the idea of "moral exclusion." First, a comparison of procedural and retributive justice demonstrates the relative ...

Justice Society of America Vol. 2: Thy Kingdom Come, Part 1

Geoff Johns, Alex Ross

DC Comics, 2008

How to write comics, part 1000
My entire life, I praised Marvel comics well above DC ones. And I still do. But, by all means, Geoff Johns really makes it hard for me to do so. The only bad part of this volume is that, well, it ends, leaving you wanting more. Great characters, master ability to juggle a LOT of plot points across without losing focus, while seeding future themes into the background. Great art, compelling ...

Crime and Criminal Justice in American Society
Randall G. Shelden, William B. Brown, ...

Waveland Pr Inc, 2007

The problem of crime touches many lives and is the subject of many heated debates. Throughout the past two centuries, society has succumbed to an edifice complex.

Race, Law, and American Society: 1607 to Present (Criminology and Justice Studies)

Gloria J. Browne-Marshall

Routledge, 2007

Excellent Book
This book is a brilliant must-read. I believe teachers, public policy analysts, social workers, judges, Americans generally, would better understand the race conflicts of today by reading this book. I admire the fact that Browne-Marshall takes the major social justice and racialized issues of today. The cases examined throughout this book provide concrete examples of how America's past racism has ...

Does Nebraska need a superhero? Yeah, apparently so.
Jack Knight (Starman), as he, Pat and Courtney battle the Icicle: "Pat, I'm cool with you and me doing this...I guess...But why didn't you leave your sidekick at home?" Courtney: "I'm the leader. S.T.R.I.P.E.'s the sidekick." First, some background: For high school teenager Courtney Whitmore the resentments just keep piling.

The penultimate chapter of the epic "One World, Under Gog" explodes here as the Justice Society of America goes to war with one another. Torn between Gog's desire to help the world and the moral cost it comes with, it's old guard vs. the new as the line that was drawn is crossed. But Gog does not like war...

Crime, Justice, And Society: An Introduction To Criminology

Ronald J. Berger, Marvin D., Jr. Free, ...

Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2004

Book is not put together well
Content of the book is fine. I purchased this book for a criminology class. The binding on the book however, is not put together well AT ALL. I am a very gentle user of books, but the middle pages of this book started coming out because the binding was not glued properly. I have known other who had this problem as well. Superglue can help you fix the binding, but it is still an issue to keep in ...

Justice Be Done (JSA: Justice Society of America, Book 1)

14 reviews
James Robinson, David S. Goyer, ...

DC Comics, 2000

Why do I think James Robinson rocks?
This is a Justice Society , a team of older generation super heroes ( Green Lantern Alan Scott, Dr Fate, Dr Midnite , Wildcat, Hawkman and Hawkgirl ) , with some fresh faces like Starman, Star spangled girl and so on. So, you will say, we saw that 1000 times. This is DC's mainstream comics. There is one big thing to be said, along with former two statements: James Robinson wrote it, and ...

The Golden Age Strikes Again!
For anyone who's a fan of 1) The "Golden Age" of DC Comics; 2) Great team books; 3) Compelling superheroes; or 4) Old-fashioned comic book grandeur, you can't do much better than The Justice Society Returns! I picked it up not knowing worlds about the golden age: Of course I knew Wonder Woman (although this is actually the current WW's mother, Hippolyta), and I knew the Spectre, the Flash, Green ...
