JSA #76
An OMAC Tie-in

Geoff Johns - Writer
David Lopez - Penciler
Fernando Blanco - Inker


The book started with the Atom Smasher charged with Violations of International Criminal Law in causing death, injury and destruction during Black Adam's invasion of Kahndaq.

Seeing Atom Smasher's trial on the background, The Society were discussing and planning ahead as the Calculator say's, "To protect us from these heroes".

JSI's Metamorpho and Fire visited Power Girl a former group member about the demise of one of their team members -- Blue Beetle.

Salem, Massachusetts. Hourman was trying to look for Dr. Fate's tower in an attempt to search their member Jakeem.

Enter OMAC. The entity ambushed JSA members, Hawkman, Green Lantern and The Flash with their weaknesses but Mr. Terrific who can't be seen, heard or be recorded. Though the Brother 1 can't identify Mr. Terrific, the OMAC does making him a target for termination. A giant-sized Albert Rothstein took care of the said OMAC.

Belle Reve Prison. Atom is sitting on his bed looking at his group picture with the JSA while listening to the news about himself. After that, Amanda Waller, Lex Luthor's former Secretary of Meta-Human Affairs came for a little chit-chat with our hero.

Based on what's happening now in the DC Universe. Don't you think this is just a retelling of Marvel's Mutant Agenda?
