Learn more about the mysterious past of King Chimera as he revisits a death he feels responsible for while in the hospital room of his fallen teammate!

And in the penultimate chapter of the co-feature, Liberty Belle is shot just as she, Hourman, Tigress and Icicle find the fabled staff of life they've been tracking as individuals and as a team! -- The Justice Society of America, or JSA, is a DC Comics superhero group, the first team of superheroes in comic book history. Conceived by editor Sheldon Mayer and writer Gardner Fox, the JSA first appeared in (Winter 1940). Unlike subsequent "all-star" teams, the JSA was limited to heroes not already featured in their own titles because the publisher wanted to expose their lesser known characters. Hence, Superman and Batman were only honorary members and Flash and Green Lantern's early tenures were brief, ending when each character was awarded his own book. However, a 1944 change in policy allowed them back into the group. Other popular members were Hawkman, the Spectre, Hourman, Doctor Fate and the Atom. In December 2009, a new ongoing series debuted revolving around a team that formed after the JSA split. Calling themselves the "All-Stars," the new group consists of several recent JSA recruits and some veteran members, including Power Girl, Magog, Hourman, Cyclone, Stargirl, Damage, Wildcat, Citizen Steel, Judomaster, and King Chimera. --
