Se o comic estivesse ao nÃvel da introdução de Howard Chaykin, seria um portento.
Assim, calha apenas em pegar nalguns Ãcones da Golden Age e desenvolver uma tramazinha gira, bem nutrida da loucura dos primórdios da Guerra Fria, do declÃnio da Golden Age, da perseguição aos comunas pelo McCarthismo, culminando no advento da Silver Age.

A dark alternative take on what happened to DC's All Star Squadron and Justice Society after WWII. The art from Paul Smith is subdued and effective, especially when it focuses on the late 40's domestic dramas that encompass most of the book. (Most of the "mystery men" don't appear in costume for most of the series.) James Robinson includes the characters I would expect (Johnny Quick, Libby Lawrence, Carter Hall, ...) and some I've never heard of (Captain Triumph) and builds a compelling ensemble. The plot is a bit too predictable for my tastes, but may be opaque to those without a good knowledge of DC WWII continuity.
I reread this to see if I'm keeping it in my collection, and I am.

A very good story about what happened to the Golden Age heroes after the end of WWII. As an Elseworld's story, Robinson is allowed a bit more play with backstory and outcome. Overlaid with the story is the socio/political climate of the time, with the beginning of the Red Scare.
Given that I am less familiar with the JSA characters, I found I had less emotional involvement in the story than I had with New Frontier, which visits similar themes. This gave the book less of an impact for me and, overall, made it less memorable.
P.S. There is a mistake. Johnny Thunder misnamed Black Canary, calling her Diana instead of Dinah.

I don’t know much about the JSA and this is not a story for newbies.Â
