STORYLINE During World War II , Nazi sympathizers trap the Justice Society Of America (JSA) in order to use their power to fuel a ritual and bring a being known as Koth to Earth, in order to ensure an Axis victory. The spell goes wrong, however, and they release a villain known as Stalker who decides the only way to stop the war is to end all life on Earth. Several magical heroes, including Merlin The Magician are killed in the attempt. The JSA is able to force Stalker to retreat, but he turns the seven men who summoned him into his "disciples", and sends them across the globe to continue his mission. Splitting up, the JSA members each take on a disciple, unaware that in doing so they have given Stalker the time he needs to recuperate. Working together, the JSA is able to defeat Stalker once and for all.
