DC has always had an issue with a overly complicated multiverse. Infinite Crisis tried to right that and Geoff Johns decides to undo some of that. After the first volume of Thy Kingdom Come I don't know if its the right move yet. After its all said and done, maybe it will be. The Justice Society has always been about legacies and that continues here it just seemed extremely heavy handed in this volume. Dale Eaglesham's art was very good though. While I didn't love this volume, I am excited for w...

I've always enjoyed JSA, mostly because Geoff Johns has made a point to keep one foot in the past with the title while keeping the other foot firmly planted in the future.With the Justice Society of America re-launch, the team has a new mission statement of making sure the world has better heroes, and so they are first tracking down legacy heroes and training them to deserve the mantle they've assumed.Thy Kingdom Come is particularly fascinating because it reintroduces Superman from Mark Waid an...

Geoff Johns ties his current JSA run into the highly sucessful Kingdom Come mini-series of years gone by with a three part volume tale. In the first volume Johns spends time developing the personalities of the legacy charcters with Gog lurking in the background.

I stopped collecting this series because of the ungodly delays between issues, and now I only read the trades. This one is a mixed bag: there are lots of characters, and they spend an inordinate amount of time whining, weeping and getting all sentimental. The issue where they hold the boxing match for charity was so saccharine it made me want to choke; worse than the X-Men playing baseball. On the bright side: Geoff Johns introduces seven or eight characters, so I smell lots of death and mayhem

Who knew I'd like a Prequel to Kingdom Come more than Kingdom Come haha. So Justice Society continues to build upon their characters. These stories almost feel like one shots but for some reason really work. You get to know each character by their actions, past, a little exposition but mostly through their current adventure. We also get introduced to Superman from the Kingdom Come universe. Upon doing so we get a nice look into the world of Kingdom Come and a little bit more background about it....

I don't remember specifics for each book, so I'm combining a review for all 3 of the parts of Thy Kingdom Come into one review.When a much older Superman is pulled through a black hole created by Starman, he tells the story of his world gone wrong. He is from an alternate world, Earth 22, and didn't manage to save the people that lived there. His fear, based on some of the things that the members of the JSA had told him, was that this earth would soon be following in the footsteps of his own hom...

"It took God seven days to make the earth,It will take Gog another seven to destroy it."As you can (probably) tell, my favorite character was Gog, with his weird grin the entire time. A number of time jumps and references I didn't get because I didn't read the graphic novel that birthed this, but it didn't stop it from being enjoyable.I am now reading Crisis on Infinite Earths.

This was so good!It starts with the origin of Citizen steel and nate coming to terms with that and then switches to Liberty Bell aka Jesse Quick and I love the way Johns explores her origin and her present condition and gives her..her speed back and then the big one, the coming of Kingdom come superman to main earth and how they deal with it and its amazing the way its written and its fantastic.We follow him as he joins the team and find out about his present condition and I love that moment bet...

I've only read a handful (if that) of stories about the JSA so I barely know the characters' names much less who they are. This first volume contains some setup for what is to come and Johns' really does an excellent job of it. A few of the issues spotlight a particular character's origin and/or personality, allowing for people like me to get to know them. The crux of this volume is that the Kingdom Come Superman appears on this Earth, but they why is what everyone wants to know.Eagelsham's art

I'm not a big fan of Justice Society of America and to tell you the truth I didn't know this book even existed but my awesome Sister knew I would love to read this book. She was right. It was easy to get into the story even though I wasn't familiar every one in the storyline. The best part was that it had a tie in to one of my favorite comic books, Kingdom Come.

I'm giving a very generous 3 stars here. The story is ok, but there are too many characters and the story is bouncing and it isn't making much sense to me. There was too much bounce all over the place and you didn't get to know who these new characters were.Can we talk about Power Girl's outfit. Who would fight crime in that mess. It's a revealing leotard with her boobs hanging out. It's offensive and gross. Really? The other girls are ok. I don't like the whole other parallel worlds and charact...

meh

This compilation edition (of JSA #7-12 of 1996?) of Kingdom Come (1 of 3) has some beautiful artwork in it, especially Alex Ross' cover images; it includes pencil designs in the rear of a couple of covers and a couple of new characters. It is for the artwork that I read these re-issues, because two of its failings are a plethora of characters, and a very confused storyline. Knowing where you were would be helped if you'd read the preceding issue (JSA 2007 #1), which I haven't, but even then, the...

This book is about a story set in the future that deals with the conflict of superheroes and the overpopulation of upcoming vigilante superheroes. This book was great because you see a different side in superheroes we love and enjoy and its interesting and different to see the side we see of them. People who will enjoy this book are people who like fantasy and action series

This book series took a significant turn toward the weird with this one.

12/03/0911/02/11 with the rest of the series: I didn't like this three-part series when I first started reading it, but by the third volume, I loved it. I didn't know what was going on in the Justice Society of America context, so I was confused, but the third volume got the Kingdom Come Superman's characterization SO RIGHT, I'd gotten to know all the characters by then, and the finale delivered on all the promises of the first two to pull off an awesome ending. Plus, none of it took away from t...

I really enjoyed this collection of comic stories featuring the members of the JSA. This book is not one continuous story, but several stories focusing on different team members, including Citizen Steel, Liberty Belle, and Power Girl. About two-thirds of the way through the stories, the older Superman from the alternate Earth where the events of Kingdom Come took place shows up (even though that was published as an "Elseworlds" story) after Starman created a mini black hole to put out an inferno...

The golden age was this magical time when comic book heroes were free to be heroic. The villains were crooks, or Nazis; but above all, they were bad. The costumes were gaudy. The declarations of justice and fairness were huge and cartoonish. At the end of twenty pages Superman, or Wonder Woman, or the Green Lantern (protector of just the green flame, not sector 2814) triumphed, and everything was right. If the comics had been candy, we'd all be in dentures by now due to the sugary tooth rot...Th...

I enjoyed this stand alone tale. Its deconstructionist in nature, a bit like Alan Moore’s 'Watchmen', which it was obviously influenced by. To be fair its not quite in the same league as Moore’s finer output, but its still very good. The artwork is beautiful and looked superb on my iPad Pro, the story was good enough to hold my interest from first to last. This is not a story for youngsters, this is a much more adult oriented work. Superheroes with warts and all, you might say. Recommended.
