What better way to celebrate Christmas than with Justice Society zombies? Okay, I can think of a few, but still, that’s what’s available to Flash fans at the comic store this week.

Justice Society of America #34
Written by Bill Willingham
Art by Travis Moore & Dan Green
Cover by Jesus Merino
The Justice Society struggles to pick up the pieces after the team’s devastating break up! Regrouping at a new, temporary home base, the smaller team reflects on the recent infiltration of their ranks and how they can protect themselves from another such attack in the future! And why is the new Dr. Fate acting so weird?
32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
Note: The team splits into two this month, with the rest of the group moving to JSA All-Stars. Based on the covers, it looks like Jay Garrick will be staying in Justice Society of America. This cover forms half of an image with next issue’s cover.
So every time I see a thumbnail cover I keep on thinking “What’s Red Robin doing with the JSA?… Oh wait-!”
