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 ... Read More

This is it. I can't take it anymore. I have been purchasing the Justice Society books for years now and have been a fan for more than a quarter of a century but this is the last JSA book I will buy until the quality improves significantly. 'Thy Kingdom Come' is an absolute mess. My biggest issue is the claim that this book is a sequel to "Kingdom Come". That would be a total lie. The Kingdom Come version of Superman ends up traveling to Earth 1 thanks to an overly convenient localized black hole. ... Read More

I was especially touched ... Read More

I can't believe that advance word hasn't leaked out to everyone yet (and the cover on the trade is spoiler enough), but, just in case: SPOILERS follow!!
Geoff Johns really isn't messing around; typically, dude has had large ideas concerning the Justice Society of America, and he trots out some more here. For one thing, the JSA team roster continues to expand as yet more characters are introduced. As a reader, I'd be normally worried about the deluge of team members, except that Johns has time ...

Geoff Johns (Infinte Crisis, The Sinestro Corps War) is arguably the best superhero writer in comics today. His long run on Justice Society of America is ample proof of this as well, and so is the latest collected volume of the series, Thy Kingdom Come. Taking place after the Lightning Saga crossover with Justice League of America, Thy Kingdom Come finds some more new members joining the oldest superhero team in history, including Citizen Steel (grandson of Commander Steel), Judomaster, a returning Jakeem ...
