Not just~, (but) also

The Killing Joke isn't just a brilliant origin story for comics' most famed villain, it also clearly defines what separates the good guys from the crazy guys. When push comes to shove, the sane ones shove back; the crazies allow themselves to go over the edge.

I'd like to know whether I can omit "but" in the structure "not just~, but also~", as in my example.
Thank you in advance for your help.
