We’ve gotten a kick reading the great work writers Eric Trautmann, Brandon Jerwa, John Rozum, Matthew Sturges and all involved have done in the pages of THE SHIELD and THE WEB – so what else is in store for the Red Circle heroes? And if, like me, you’ve been a fan of these characters for a long time, you also know that in previous incarnations these characters were in a little group called…well, I’ll leave it up to Red Circle Editor Rachel Gluckstern to do the heavy lifting on this post. Take it away, Rachel:
“Back when the Red Circle books launched, I said that these characters have such different agendas and personalities that it would take a damn good reason to get them all in a room together.
Well.
Intel says the passphrase is "Crusaders". But can they defeat the threat they've uncovered? Or will they destroy each other instead?”
Writer Matthew Sturges and artist Freddie E. Williams II lift the curtain on this issue, as the All-Stars are on the trail of the villains who've kidnapped one of their own while internal turmoil creates drama in the ranks. And after what went down in the JSA ANNUAL this month, can Magog have much time left on the team?
JSA ALL STARS #3 hits 2/10.

Well, we gave you a little tease last week -- with some help from Matthew Sturges --about JSA ALL STARS #4 (which we've kindly included below), but what of the other titles tied to the team? I'm staying tight-lipped, but these cover images should help give you an idea to what's coming up.

We're backing up the truck and unloading a ton of good stuff this week, and cool pieces of art are aplenty. Case in point? The cover to JSA ALL STARS #4, by Freddie E. Williams II, who's really pulling out all the stops on the relatively new series. Take a look for yourself:
Pretty cool, huh? That's about all the insight I can provide. What can I say? It's been a long week. Thankfully, we have Matthew Sturges, writer of JSA ALL STARS, on hand to give us his two cents. Take it away, Matt:
"When I saw Freddie's cover for JSA All-Stars #4, I begged Alex to let us put it up early. For one thing, it's got Sand on it. Sand is one of my favorite JSAers, and he's been due for a resurgence for quite some time. Well, that resurgence begins in issue four. For another thing, unfortunately, it looks like someone else from the JSA's past is resurging behind him. That can't be good."
See Matt? Wishes can come true.

Welcome back to the working week, Source readers. Hopefully, you're still feasting on Thanksgiving leftovers and well-rested from a few days of fun, family, food and football. Not in that order.
Not too long ago, we gave you a first look at writer Matthew Sturges and artist Freddie E. Williams II's new series, JSA ALL STARS, but with the book hitting shortly, why not give you a chance to check out Ryan Sook's lovely variant cover and two more pages from the new series? Glad you agree.
