Justice Society of America #9

Published in 2007, Justice Society of America #9 is part of the second volume of the long-running DC Comics series. This issue serves as a critical chapter in the 'Thy Kingdom Come' storyline, written by Geoff Johns with art by Alex Ross and Fernando Pasarin. The narrative focuses on the return of an older, post-apocalyptic Superman from Earth-22, a character derived from the critically acclaimed miniseries Kingdom Come. This story arc was crafted to bridge the gap between traditional DC continuity and the complex, alternate-reality themes established by Ross and Waid.

The visual design of this issue is notable for the collaborative effort between veteran comic artist Fernando Pasarin and the stylistic influence of Alex Ross, who provided cover art and creative input for the series. The aesthetic sought to balance the grandeur of DC's Golden Age legacy characters with a grounded, modern sensibility. Upon its release, the series was well-received by fans and critics alike, often praised for its ability to navigate the history of the Justice Society while introducing compelling new threats and character dynamics.
