JSA #41
by Tony Whitt (Tue 10-22-2002)

Two Teams Are Better Than One

The DC Universe has seen a few cataclysmic conflagrations in its 60-plus year history, but none as devastating as the creation of a new villainous "uber-team" in JLA/JSA: VIRTUE & VICE, a 96-page hardcover written by David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns, and il...
