Marc Guggenheim Takes Over Justice Society of America

Beginning with October's Issue #44

Marc Guggenheim (Amazing Spider-Man, The Flash; The Fastest Man Alive) has been announced as the new writer of DC Comics' Justice Society of America series, beginning with October's issue #44. Guggenheim is also currently working on screenplays for Green Lantern 2 and the Flash.

On the DC Comics: The Source blog, Guggenheim had this to say about the book's new direction:

“For me, one of the advantages of working for “the Big Two” is getting to play with the biggest toys in the sandbox. The Justice Society so fits that category, my inner fanboy is squealing with delight. I was a huge fan of the JSA back when they were ensconced on Earth-2 and I was introduced to their exploits in the pages of Adventure Comics and the annual JLA/JSA crossovers. Our goal is to craft as JSA run for the ages and I think we’ve come up with something that’s revolutionary while still feeling uniquely 'Justice Society.'Pay close attention to that second word. Big clue there.”

The new interior art team has not been revealed, but Shane Davis will be providing the covers.

The current Justice Society of Amercia book has had some strong writers including Geoff Johns and Bill Willingham. How do you think Marc Guggenheim will do?
