Synopsis for "Thy Kingdom Come (Part I) What a Wonderful World"
The JSA bring this alternate Superman into their meeting room. Starman recognizes him as the Superman of Earth-22. Superman tells the JSA about his native dimension and how the Joker killed his wife Lois Lane. An antihero known as Magog avenged Lois' death by killing the Joker and won the support of the populace. This led to a global conflict between heroes which ravished the world. After hearing his tale, the JSA secure him within the room, while they privately discuss what to do about him. While the others review Superman's tale, Obsidian manifests inside the meeting room and talks to Superman.
Meanwhile in Brooklyn, Doctor Mid-Nite and Mister Terrific inspect the ruins of the building where Goth was killed. Mid-Nite begins coughing, but blames it on the smoke.
At JSA Headquarters, Superman grows tired with sitting down doing nothing. He breaks through the solid steel door, and the JSA try to restrain them. He easily overpowers them and flies off. Soaring through Manhattan, Superman rescues a young woman preparing to commit suicide by leaping from the roof of a building. Camera crews immediately converge on the scene and speculation begins flourishing over who this "new" Superman might be.
The Flash runs to Central City and meets with Wally West at the Flash Museum. They discuss using the Cosmic Treadmill in the hopes of sending Superman back to his home dimension.
Meanwhile, a mysterious, shadowy figure tracks down the villain known as Chroma. He fires a blast of energy into his back, killing him.
Notes
- This issue also shipped with a retailer incentive variant cover illustrated by Dale Eaglesham and Ruy José.
- In the recreated Multiverse, Earth-22 is the reality designation that corresponds to the Elseworlds limited series Kingdom Come.
- All Earth-22 flashback scenes are painted by Alex Ross. Alex Ross illustrated the original Kingdom Come limited series.
- In the scene where Earth-22's Superman does a scan of the country, he sees an elderly couple sitting on a farm. It is possible that this is Jonathan and Martha Kent, however their physical appearance is more in line with the Post-Crisis incarnation of the characters and does not reflect how they are depicted in current continuity.
Trivia
- One of the characters included in the Earth-22 battle montage is a Clone Trooper from the Star Wars franchise.
