JSA Omnibus lists updated contents

As pleased as we were to see the JSA Omnibus Vol. 1 on DC Comics's 2014 release schedule, a big sticking point was that the book would collect only issues #6-28 of the original series, skipping issues #1-5 that were written by James Robinson and David Goyer rather than Geoff Johns, who joined the title with #6.

DC Comics has apparently heard your cries, because as commenter David Raid points out, the contents for JSA Omnibus have now changed on Amazon. This isn't definite, but it's a pretty good sign that we're getting what we want.

The original contents were JSA #6-28, JSA Annual #1, JSA Secret Files #2, JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice, JSA: Our Worlds at War #1, JLA/JSA Secret Files #1, Secret Origins of Super-Villains 80-page Giant #1 and JSA All Stars #1-8.

Amazon reports the new contents are JSA #1-25, JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice, JSA All-Stars #1-8, JSA Our Worlds at War #1, JLA/JSA Secret Files #1, JSA Secret Files #1, All-Star Comics #1-2, All-American Comics #1, Adventure Comics #1, National Comics #1, Sensation Comics #1, Smash Comics #1, Star Spangled Comics #1 and Thrilling Comics #1.

These new contents would encompass the JSA collections Justice Be Done, Darkness Falls, and Return of Hawkman, issues #1-25. We lose the Secret Origins of Super-Villains 80-page Giant, JSA All Stars, and maybe a Secret Files, though on my DC Trade Paperback Timeline, I show All-Stars as taking place during issue #40-something of JSA, so this is no big deal; they can get it in the next volume (my mistake; JSA All-Stars is in there). And, DC has added to the collection the various stories that made up the "Justice Society Returns" storyline, a set of specials set in the original Justice Society's heyday that included a Starman story by James Robinson, Star-Spangled Kid by Geoff Johns, Wildcat by Chuck Dixon, and Green Lantern by Ron Marz, among others.

For those of us who've been waiting for the JSA Omnibus for a while, I know this is welcome news.
