Matt Sturges details 'JSA All-Stars'

Writer Matt Sturges has spoken about his new Justice Society of America spinoff JSA All-Stars.

The series - illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II (Robin) - will focus on the creation and training of a new superhero team.

The title will emerge out of this month's JSA #33, with a team led by Power Girl with support from Magog.

"They're taking these young people and creating a programme to make them the best possible thinking and fighting heroes they can be," Sturges told Newsarama.

"Their goal is to train up these superheroes in a very practical way, teaching them tactics, maneuvers, and all the things that Power Girl has learned over her many years of being a superhero, with Magog providing tactical training that he learned during his years in the Marines. It's like superhero college.

"When everything goes to hell in the next issue of JSA, Power Girl and Magog see this as an opportunity to try something that they've been talking about, which is creating a team within a team.

"Is the JSA splitting up? It's hard to say for certain. But they're taking this opportunity to take these other members away from the conflict they've been having and try something new."

Sturges is currently co-writing JSA with Bill Willingham (Fables).

JSA All-Stars debuts next month.
