What starts out as a nice, low key issue of JSA ends with a bang as Superman from the Kingdom Come Earth arrives in our universe.

The issue mainly focused on a charity breakfast at a fire station for children. There were a lot of great moments in this issue, including Jay interrupting Stargirl flirting with a fireman and the random conversations throughout the event between kids and heroes, such as Damage bragging he could take out the entire JLA to some kids or Starman talking to Cyclone about how odd it is to put maple syrup on pancakes. The entire event was a great moment for everyone and was a lot of fun. The event was capped off with a fight between the young and old Wildcats in a charity boxing match, which was a great spectacle with some nice moments showcasing the differences in personalities and experience of both 'Cats. The fight is cut short as a fire breaks out and the firefighters and JSA head out to stop it together.

During the fire fight, the JSA find the villain Goth dead, with a giant hole in his chest, inside the building. Goth's power is going out of control with his death and is going to explode. As the fire is out of control, Starman offers to create a black hole to contain it all. After some debating on the sanity of Starman, they let him do it as everyone else backs out. Starman succeeds in his black hole and stops the fire, but, unexpectedly, Superman from Kingdom Come emerges from the black hole, ending our issue.

This was a fun issue with many memorable moments. Starman running around with a pale of water trying to put out the fire early on was hilarious and I really enjoy his character in this book. Kingdom Come Superman showing up at the end was expected, but still handled quite well and I cannot wait to see where the story goes with that. This issue is well worth the look and this book will be more than likely a must bye for most people over the next few months with KC Superman on board. Grab this one and strap in for a great ride, you will not regret it.

Verdict - Must Read
