The focus this issue, obviously from the cover, is Liberty Belle. Well . . . her, Rick Tyler her husband and Grant, whom she and Rick both seem to have a special connection with. We get the whole story on her origin. Her father Johnny Quick, and her mother the original Liberty Belle both were integral in her development. Mostly Johnny, at least positively, but her mother was there too. When we come back to the present, the team is chasing Zoom, whom Damage has a special hatred for. But when they get to the Georgia state line, Allen stops them because Grant is under a court order never to return to the state. Jesse and Rick are on a honeymoon is Aspen when they're interrupted by PowerGirl. It's seems Damage has taken Zoom hostage and is threatening to blow him up if he tries to escape. So Jesse has to come and talk him down. Which she does, but as soon as she does Zoom takes advantage of the situation and attempts to kill Grant. What he doesn't know though is that Jesse really still does have her speed power. She just doesn't like to use it. So she saves Grants life, and then takes out Zoom. And then she gives Grant a big speech about how they're all family, and that no matter what he looks like, they'll always love him. Very touching. Very moving. Especially when the Georgia police force is ready to arrest him, but the whole JSA comes to his side. It was a nice distraction from the recent JLA/JSA crossover story. Geoff Johns wrote it, and Fernando Pasarin did the art. I wasn't thrilled with the art. But the story more than made up for any shortcomings. Unfortunately, with that said, I'd have to say this is probably my least favorite issue to date. But I still think this is a fantastic series. I love Geoff Johns writing, and I love these characters. I can't wait to see where we go next with this Kingdom Come story-line.
