Justice Society of America #13

One of the biggest critiques of Geoff Johns' "Justice Society of America" is that it has too many characters. Johns' actually addresses this topic in this issue with Jakeen Thunder exclaiming "...Enough is enough. This team is too damn big!" The first few pages of this issue deal with all of the new members moving into the brownstone and provided some good comic relief. The rest of the issue covers the "Thy Kingdom Come" story arc and is very good. Johns folds elements from Superman as Gog is killing off supposed false gods and the JSA is searching for answers. The poignant return of KC Superman to Metropolis is handled well - as is the meeting between Superman and KC Superman. The fight between both men of steel and Hercules is great showing off the awesome power of KC Superman. The art in this issue his handled by a fill in team of penciller Fernando Pasarin and inker Richard Friend. While I'm not a big fan of fill in artist, the team keeps the look and feel of Dale Eaglesham and Ruy Jose's art. I think they did an excellent job here.

While the "Thy Kingdom Come" story has meandered a bit in the last few issues, Johns propels the story forward here and provides a good cliffhanger for the next issue. I like how Johns and Ross are playing this story out and look forward to an interesting ending to the arc.
