Justice Society of America #22

  The final chapter of the Gog saga ends rather abruptly as Superman-KC tears off his head and mounts him to the source wall. Then he heads back to his time and we get to see his world age all the way up to 1000 years in the future. OK issue but a really quick ending for Gog. 3 out of 5 JSA-ers.
