This is an amazing book. And . . from the look of things . . . it's only going to get better. We're getting ready to get a new member. It's one you heard of . . . but not one you expect. We don't actually see his face until the final page of this issue. So . . . . I'll keep you in suspense a bit longer. Or you can cheat and go to the end. It's up to you. Anyways, Kara, Powergirl, is trying to come to grips with being Chair-person. She's from another Earth, and she constantly has dreams about her cousin Kal-l and his dream. He wanted the world to have better heroes. Which is what she's trying to do with this team. This issue takes place mostly at a volunteer fire-station. The team has decided to give them a day where they'll do various things to help them raise money. Nate, Steel, is cooking for the kids. Wildcat and Wildcat are having a charity bout. That should be interesting. The rest of the team are doing various things to interact with the community and promote good will. But then there's a call. A burning warehouse that's close by. So the fire-fighters, and the JSA all scoot off to try to take care the problem. They've all done this a million times, but the real surprise comes at the end. There's one more person left in the fire, and he seems to have been knocked unconscious. It's Starman. Then someone swoops in to save him. It's Superman. But not the Superman you expect. No this is the Superman from the Kingdom Come story-line. Remember that mini-series from a few years ago? Well somehow he's been brought here. And now the story's really going to get interesting. Fantastic writing by Geoff Johns. And some incredibly artwork by Dale Eaglesham. These first 12 issues of this series are truly going to go down as classics. They really couldn't be more perfect.
