Justice Society of America/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • What Could Have Been: Magog's role as the JSA "All-Stars" trainer/field leader was originally going to be Hawkman. It's not hard to see the Jerkass parallels, or the massive character shift he undertook.
    • "The Justice Society Returns!" was an event used to bring attention to the revived series using new #1s of old comics (such as All-Star Comics and Adventure Comics). These were also purportedly used as an audition piece to see who would take over as David Goyer's co-writer after James Robinson left. Geoff Johns eventually won out, but some of the others included Tom Peyer, Mark Waid, Ron Marz, Tony Bedard and Chuck Dixon. Any of those would have made a good writer for the series, and JSA could have turned out a lot differently had one of them been selected.
