| Capitalizing
on the popularity of the JLA, DC at last managed to pull off a successful
revival of the Justice Society, the first super-team in comics. Part of
the credit also belongs to James Robinson, the author of the excellent
Starman series, and to the fact that the ugly continuity problems that
plagued many earlier attempts at revival have been sorted out to a more
or less stable, if not always satisfactory, degree. Robinson settles the
question of membership (over 20 potential members of the team existed)
by killing off several possible candidates, but I think the members he
chose are the best ones. |

| The plots
and characterization are excellent, as usual for Robinson. It is best if
you have some familiarity with the characters, but at any rate, don't miss
this series!

| A Super-Hero
Apocalypse
Writer Mark Waid, coming
from his popular work on Flash and Impulse, and artist Alex Ross, who broke
new ground with the beautifully painted MARVELS, join together for this
explosive book that takes place in a dark alternate future of the DC Superhero
Universe. |
|
|
|
| Batman, Superman,
Wonder Woman, and almost every other character from DC Comics must choose
sides in what could be the final battle of them all. It's the early 21st
century. Without the guidance and values championed by the old guard--Superman,
Batman, and Wonder Woman--a younger generation of super heroes is ravaging
the world. "Kingdom Come" is the story of what defines a hero in a world
spinning inexorably out of control, and of the final battle that could
determine the fate of our planet. |
