Justice Society of America #15 - DC

Another fantastic issue in this series. But, honestly, this is really only the beginning of the story. With this issue . . . Gog has come to Earth. Apparently he's the last living being of the Third World . . you know, the one before Darkseid's. This issue starts out with pretty much the whole Society taking up arms against a very powerful Magog. I guess he's Gog's disciple. But when he retreats from the battle, he draws the Society with him when he returns to the cave where he worships Gog. It turns out though, the stone statue that Magog uses as an alter, is actually Gog buried within our Earth. In the presence of the Society, the statue comes to life. He calls Magog a blasphemer, and smites him down. After which, he rises form the Earth and offers a greeting . . . "People of Earth. I come in peace." Yeah! That's what they all say. But the newest version of Superman, from the Kingdom Come Earth, knows better. The problem is . . will anyone believe him. Especially when they see what Gog can, and is willing to, do. How do you defeat your enemies without a fight? Offer them their hearts desire. Then when they become complacent . . crush them under your boot-heel. At the end, we get a little preview of upcoming events in this title, over the next year. It looks like it's going to be a pretty busy year for our Justice Society members here. I know I've said it before, but Alex Ross and Geoff Johns are doing an incredible job here. I just can't believe the difference between this book, and the old All-Star Squadron book. It's night and day! Really! Plus I continue to be in awe of Dale Eaglesham's pencils. This is really turning out to be an incredibly strong book. I really can't praise it enough. If you have a chance to pick it up, you really should. You won't regret it. And, like I said, it's really just getting started.
