From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up—At Justice Society of America's headquarters, 31st-century Starman has traveled back to the 21st century after opening a black hole. A nuclear-war-weary "Kingdom Come" Superman has also traveled back in time. His goal is to stop the devastation by battling Gog and Magog. Magog wins over his followers, some of them JSA members, through his miracle cures and missionary zeal. It is up to Superman to convince people that Magog is evil and save Earth from destruction. The drama continues on Earth-2 as Power Girl must battle with the Justice Society of Infinity. Panels are beautifully drawn, and the cast of characters and bonus material help readers contextualize this engaging, involved story. Fans of the "Infinity Crisis" series (DC Comics) will be delighted.—Lisa Gieskes, CA Johnson Preparatory Academy, Columbia, SC
