This whole Thy Kingdom Come / One World Under Gog story has been billed for a while as the "sequel" to Kingdom Come, one of my favorite stories in comics history. This is the first issue that actually felt like a direct tie to Kingdom Come, more than likely due to the spectacular art of Alex Ross.
I really enjoyed this issue and thought that the pacing was excellent. The misunderstanding between Superman and Superman was handled well and there were some nice recaps of Kingdom Come for those that either haven't read it or it's been a while. Honestly, I re-read Kingdom Come about once every 2 or 3 months but I have too much time on my hands sometimes :-)
I'm very much looking forward to the next special, Magog, to see where this story is going. Like alot of people, I've been a little tired of the JSA story dragging out for so long. But, as I've said multiple times defending Grant Morrison, I feel that Johns will pull it all together to finish it in a way that will satisfy.
I think I will have to re-read alot of this JSA run to get myself familiar with the story again because it has been a while. In my opininon, a great comics story should make you go back and re-read previous issues due to good storytelling and properly set up teases and clues.
Many people have complained about the way the story ends about 12 pages before the book does. I really enjoyed seeing Alex Ross' artistic process and was interested to see that Norman McKay is Ross' father as well as the model that he uses for Superman. I am currently experimenting with a reference process like he uses in my own art so it was informative for me, but I can understand why many people don't care. My wife hates watching DVD commentaries because she says it takes away from the "magic" of the finished product, whereas I'm the guy who wants to know how they made the monster or alien :-)
Art: 5 - Excellent
