A reboot of the team post-Infinite Crisis, Justice Society of America has Geoff Johns still on as writer, but a new line-up after One Year Later. The first story arc left me a little cold. It's mostly a jumping-on point kinda storyline, getting the band back together and introducing the new kids that we'll be following on this incarnation of the team. The actual plot is... there are Nazis and they're killing people and the superheroes have to stop them. It's kinda thin. Might just be me, but when the villain with the most characterization is Captain Nazi and that's just because he's shown up in other comics that give him character development... Otherwise, they're just here to back Vandal Savage's play and commit awful atrocities against women and children, which of course they greatly enjoy because they're such bad people.
It makes for a bit of a tonal clash when you're introducing a bunch of fun new characters who are 'joining the family.'
