As the Justice League takes on some second rate villains on Mathali Island, Sebastian Stagg is trying to extract Kryptonian crystal technology from the remains of Superman's Fortress which had been destroyed by Rogol Zaar. He and his team only succeed in being attacked by creatures made of animated ice created my the gargantuan Frost King. Superman discovers, after the League's battle with their new foe, that the Frost King has absorbed Kryptonian energy along with the ice. This leads the Man of Steel to wonder what else he may have inadvertently unleashed upon the world.
In Egypt of the 10th Century, Hippolyta, Viking Prince and Swamp Thing banded together to free the being they need to help stop the world from being consumed by the power of King Frost. Teth-Adam, known as Black Adam in the present, has been set free. These heroes of the past clearly succeeded in defeating King Frost. However, as the entire 2020 DC Earth is blanketed in snow and ice, Black Adam wonders how Killer Frost could be free again. (He'll most likely find out in The Flash #767, but we'll see what happens next in Superman: Endless Winter #1. Then, be sure not to miss Justice League #58 and Justice League: Endless Winter #2).

It would be nice to see where this fits in the continuity of previous issues of the main "Justice League" title and the Death Metal books, but perhaps we'll learn that as the rest of this event progresses. That is perhaps my only qualm. It doesn't take anything away from what is a great comic. It's just something I felt they needed to point out.
