August 1992. Six years after DC forced Roy Thomas to send his childhood favorite characters to Valhalla, the JSA returned in this delightful series by Len Strazewski and Mike Parobeck. Far less fussy and continuity-obsessed than Thomas's earlier ALL-STAR SQUADRON, INFINITY INC., and YOUNG ALL-STARS, this book nonetheless provided some amusing twists for those familiar with the characters' long history, like the revelation that Johnny Thunder's foster daughter Peachy Pet had made a mint in frozen yogurt. The series is probably most notable for the debut of Jesse Quick, the daughter of Golden Age heroes (and All-Star Squadron headliners) Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle, but Strazewski also introduces a presumptive successor to Johnny Thunder in the form of Kiku, a plucky Bahdnesian girl who can also control the Thunderbolt. She's a fun character, but her depiction is marred by an extremely ill-advised coloring choice that makes the people of Bahdnesia look like literal redskins. (Recent digital editions dial this back a little, but not enough — the Bahdnesians look like cousins of Sinestro!)
This book sadly produced an internal editorial backlash to the effect that publishing a comic about septuagenarian superheroes was making DC look bad, so the series was cancelled after 10 issues, and the order came down to kill most of the JSA in ZERO HOUR. (Most of them survived anyway, but that's another story.) Kiku, meanwhile, has been completely ignored by subsequent writers, outside of a brief and confusing cameo in the obscure and terrible PRIMAL FORCE series in 1995.
