james_desantis 's review for:
Justice Society of America, Vol. 2: Thy Kingdom Come, Vol. 1
by Geoff Johns
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. So how does the Kingdom Come Superman fit? Well...
Good: He fits great! His outlook on the world is a lot darker, a lot scarier, but at the same time he himself is filled with hope. The very first thing he does when running away from the Justice Society is save a girl from trying to kill herself (See Zack Snyder...it's not that hard) I also really dug each individual story with the society member. You really see them as people here, and while some are super overpowered, it gives them a more "real sense." and each story really can be read by themselves which is kind of neat.
Bad: The art sometimes make it hard to follow actions. It's not bad just not 100% easy to follow. I also found some of it a bit to heavy on exposition. Like instead of showing a background they tell you. Which Johns sometimes does.
Overall I really had fun with this. I thought this was honestly great. The way we get each character having their own story and focus on the goods and bads of their life is both interesting and well done. So I'll hush up now and give this a 4 out of 5.
