Rating: 5 stars

Review:

Wow! Just absolutely wow! That's just how amazing this was. It was really well written and had amazing artwork.

The story in these first four issues had the Justice Society of America not only trying to gain new recruits but also trying to figure out who killed a member of their team. That mystery lead them to a group of Nazi wannabe villains who were being instructed to go after the families of former and current members of the JSA.

The master mind behind them thought that if the future or potential superheroes were no longer around there would be no one to stop his plans.

The New 52 has pretty much gotten rid of most of the legacy characters which is a total shame because all of this rich history is what makes comic books and the characters so interesting.

I like this so much I just added it to my wishlist, because this is a book that I know I would re-read.
