Wow! Lots of good building-up stuff in here. The Legion connection is going to be an interesting thing regarding continuity. Have they allowed for cross-continuity in the 21st century DC Universe? Guess they never can tell who the Legion will be in the future.

I loved this issue. I can't wait to find out what happens next between Wildcat and his son. With a killer after superhero families, it's bound to be big. Seeing Thom was great, too, although I've never been as interested in him as I was some of the other Levitz-era LSH.

Great issue. Loved it.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> That quote the Wildcat's son said, how did he know? Do you think he is the big villian? That whole scene seem suspect to me.

Great ending though. Wow. </span></span>

rtvu@, didn't the son say he read these quotes in newspapers or magazines? Seems like pretty common knowledge/behavior for the guy we're talking about.

I think you're right right. I wonder what Tom does. He's got a piano and some guitar magazines, but there's also a psychology magazine. And how did Jay and Alan find out about him? If they can find out, can the killer?

If I recall, Jay & Alan asked the Supes/Bats/Wondy to have the JLA trace all the heroic bloodlines for them so that the JSA could do it's job of training the newest generation of the DCU's heroic families.

Unless the kid's mom kept "records" of her time with Wildcat laugh

I'm loving this book, and I'm enjoying it more than the Legion book right now. What a blend of action and characterization!

I believe Batman keeps all this info on file.

The kid seems very young... Did Wildcat father a kid while he's in his 60's?

He may have fathered more than one, unless this is supposed to be the kid that was snatched by the Yellow Wasp years ago. Haven't read the issue yet, but I doubt it.

With Infinity Inc. and the ever-increasing gap between WW2 and now, this means that Green Lantern, Hawkman & Hawkgirl, and Hourman also had children rather late in life.

OK, I just read the issue in question, and it's a new kid.

That makes at least two.

I've been wondering if Ted will mention the other boy. I want to see his reaction to Tom not winning the fight. Will he be disapointed or releaved that his son's not likely to become a vigilante anytime soon? I think the whole "not a father figure" thing may be just because he doesn't want to get attached to kids he's going to be sending out in to deadly situations. Having a non-violent son might be all right with him.

Wouldn't it be fun to see if Tom is non-violent AND gay. Let's see Ted work through that. He will, he's a good guy under all that testosterone.

Ted can teach him how to be a fighter, and Todd can teach him how to be a lover. That JSA... they're well rounded laugh

Maybe Hawkgirl actually got pregnant in the 50s, but Thanagarian pregnancies just take 30 or so years smile

I read # 2, and....

I'll say that JSoA has knocked TEEN TITANS off its perch as "Best DC title", where it has firmly sat since the "1-Year-Later" stuff started.

Comics like this are the reason I still read comics!

And the art is AMAZING... I keep staring at the panel of Courtney looking back at Maxine, saying "We're getting you a costume." Just STUNNING!

I already adore the new Steel, though he's scarcely been into'ed, and I can WAIT to see those scum-sucking kid-killing Nazis get theirs!!!! It's like it's 1943 again or something!

Yeah, I'm almost tempted to say "too much rendering", but I can't help but feel Dale is the first regular JSA artist to SURPASS Steve Sadowski. (And his girls are prettier!)

Issue #3 rocked.....

loved seeing Cyclone, loved see how Nathan took it to the metal guy and gain his powers? Loved seeing Sandman Sandy. He is all mysterious now.

And that last scene...what a doozy.
<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> Its Vandal Savage behind the attacks and while he is hired people to take out the families of associates of the JSA, he is reserving the honor to take out the direct descendents of founding memebers. Well he found Ted and Tom. He surprised Ted and took him out and was going after Tom. Lets just say that Tom lied when he said he didn't get anything from old Ted. First KC Starman, now this... wow!</span></span>

I’m not a huge JSA fan (although I like them better than the JLA) and am really only picking this up because of the Starboy appearances so there are a couple of things I need explaining if someone can fill me in please?

Has Wildcat ever had shape shifting powers? If not then are we to assume that the kid gets that from his mother? And if so do we know who his mother is? I mean there can’t be many females who turn into 6 foot tall werecats can there?

Secondly I thought the current JSA’s Sand had earth based powers. i.e he could turn his body into sand, silica and control the earth in a similar way? So why does this issues Sandman a) look more like the golden age one than Sand from the last series and b) seems to appear in a mystical cloud from “another place” as if he is magic powered?

Wildcat has never had shape-shifting powers. Even his nine lives power is very recent. He has always been the boxer in a cat suit and nothing more. I wouoldn't be looking to deep into where Tom (Tom Cat get it?) got his shapeshifting power. I don't think it will be that important in terms of the character.

Regarding Sand, yes he has earth based powers as you described. I think he has begun using Wesley Dodd's old costume in his memory. Regarding his entrance, I think the idea was that he entered as a cloud of sand that came together. I believe it was also supposed to be reminiscent of the old Sandman who would appear in a cloud of gas. (Crimson Avenger also had this schtick)
