Now this book? This book is just incredible. Geoff Johns is doing a brilliant job with these stories. The detail he puts in to them is astounding. And the realism, and strength of character that he puts in to all of these individuals, really sets him apart from some of the other story-tellers out there. DC really pulled a major coup when they signed Geoff up. I just hope he stays on this book for . . . . well . . . as long as they'll let him. And who would've ever thought that Dale Eaglesham would be drawing one of the hottest books out there? I mean I knew the guy was talented, but . . . on this book . . . it's insane how good the artwork is that he's turning in. Of all the artists out there . . and there's an awful lot of notable names . . . I can't think of anybody I'd rather have on this book right now. His storytelling abilities have reaching a completely different level with his current body of work. And while I'm thinking about it, I just want to say . . . Thank You! . . . to both of these guys. Thank you for giving us something to look forward to every month. Now, as you can see from the cover, the Kingdom Come version of Superman has come to our reality. How and why? We don't really know yet. But, Starman recognizes him, because he spent some time in that reality. The problem that Superman is having, is that it's hard for him to accept a reality where the hero's are still on the side of the angels. In his Kingdom Come reality, they pretty much all went rogue. So he's having a hard time accepting at face value these hero's altruistic in
tentions. Plus he already saw most of them die. And to be honest, these heroes don't really know what to make of him either. It isn't until it seems like he's trying to break out and make a run for it, but ends up saving a girl jumper several blocks away, that they realize he's actually who he says he is. He's gently holding the girl in his arms, and he says to her "Giving up never helped anyone, miss. Trust me on that." We then have a couple of story-lines building at the end of the issue. First of all Wally and Jay have gone to the Flash museum to dig out the cosmic treadmill. But he doesn't want it for the reasons Wally thinks. "I'm not talking about time travel, Wally. I'm talking about altering our vibrational frequencies. I'm talking about traveling to a parallel Earth." Secondly, someone is chasing Chroma through the sewers of Metropolis. Whomever it is, calls Chroma a pretender, and himself a god. Rather ominous I would say. And finally, as we wrap up this issue, the Justice League has arrived at the JSA headquarters, with I'm sure a lot of questions for Superman from . . . well . . . . Superman. This is easily one of the top 5 books on the stands right now. I can't wait to read it every month.
