This storyline did bore me and I checked out some time ago. I might pick up the next arc but if Black Adam is treated as if there’s anything vaguely heroic about him I’ll be checking right back out again…

this story line is starting to bore me. I really love the JSA, but if they keep this up, I might start looking for a new book. I know I will start reading Legion of Super-heroes…Oh wait…never mind.

While I _am_ enjoying this (since I never actually read the original Kingdom), I found the literally-rooting-himself-to-our-planet a bit of a “Gog-ex-machina” excuse for a fight. Had it been alluded to before, or even slightly hinted at visually, it might be a bit neater. As it was, it just did rather seem as though it was slapped on as a bit of “Hmmm, how can we make the whole ‘7 days’ thing ominous and evil?”

The only beef I have with Thy Kingdom Come, is that while we had a crossover with the JLA for the mostly pointless Lighting Saga, Kingdom doesn’t show up in any JLA comics.

It would have made more sense then the few panels were we see the JLA speak with the JSA, after all we have the closest thing to a deity walking the Earth, it would have really made Gog feel alot more scary and powerfull to have the JLA follow his very move along side the JSA.

As it stands it like:
“Superman to Batman : Dude there this God thingy walking in Africa, should we do something?”
“Batman to Supe: Nah! the guys from the JSA can take care of that, I have to get killed twice in 1 month…”

Don’t forget Lightningand Cyclone (though she’s not as slutty as when she appears in Kingdom Come).

And I just want to point out that this is not the first instance of Alan using the Kingdom Come armor,it appeared way back when in JLA/JSA: Virtue & Vice.

And Jay going all blurring happened during JSA too, when he absorbed the powers of the anit-Flash (can’t remember his name), though his blurriness at that point didn’t stick around for whatever reason. And it wasn’t quite as Kingdom Come-ness.
