Justice Society of America #11 - DC

With this issue we move farther in to our Thy Kingdom Come story-line, the Second Coming. The Superman from Kingdom Come has come over to our Earth, apparently after his was destroyed. To that point, Wally and Jay attempt to access his universe with the Cosmic Treadmill. They're trying to hone in on his vibration. The see the Bleed, but they don't know what it is. When they do find his dimension . . they find that's it's empty. Meanwhile, at the end of last issue, the Justice League has arrived and are questioning the new Superman. They all seem to believe his story, even though the situation is a bit . . disorienting. So now the question is, "How do we get this Superman back home?" In the meantime he attempts to acclimate himself to this Earth. And he attempts to just try to be a normal citizen. He has a heart to heart with Karen, Power Girl, who's been feeling on edge ever since his arrival. He's reminds her so much of her Superman, that it's really been bringing back a lot of old feelings, and she's been thinking about how alone she really feels. "We might not be family like you and your cousin were, Karen . . . but I hope we can learn to be." Meanwhile a couple other things going on, the Society has been tracking the actions of the new Judomaster. They want to offer her membership. And, after the incident in the sewers that we witnessed last issue, it looks as if someone new is taking up the mantle of Mr. America. We see him standing over the dead body of Chrona, and he's thinking, "Today, the hunt begins." As always, this was a fantastic story by Geoff Johns and Alex Ross. Geoff has done a fantastic job with this series to date. But these two together . . . sheer perfection. And I really can't give enough praise to Dale Eaglesham. He has really come in to his own on this series. He's gone from a relative unknown to, I think, a true superstar! His pencils, in this series, are dead-on. Every panel is perfection. I questioned them picking him as the penciller of this series . . in the beginning. But now . . . now I know why. And whomever made that decision . . . was brilliant. This has really grown in to a fantastic series.
