Welcome to It All Comes Back to Superman Series 2's entry into the mammoth and totally awesome JSApril podcasting crossover!
What is JSApril? It's a celebration of the 85th anniversary of the Justice Society of America! It was spearheaded by my friend Shag from The Fire and Water Podcast Network and there are dozens of blogs and podcasts that are all doing entries and episodes focusing on some aspect of the JSA's history.
In this, the first of two specials that you'll be getting, I talk about the Justice Society of America storyline Thy Kingdom Come. Actually, I do a bit of podcasting multitasking because I also wanted to devote episodes of this show to the stories appearing in the Superman trade boxset that has the snazzy new Superman shield from the movie on the slipcase and one of those is Kingdom Come. So, I mainly talk about the Thy Kingdom Come storyline that ran in Justice Society of America issues 10-22 as well as the annual from 2008 and three specials that came out in November of 2008 but I also spend some time talking about Kingdom Come as well. I also go through where my love of the JSA came from, the set-up to the storyline, some very basic bits of background on why it happened, and then I get into the story itself and along the way I dig into Superman's role in Kingdom Come, why I have come to love that version of the Man of Steel, and a deep dive into the Justice Society of America Kingdom Come Superman Special #1!
