Curse of the Replacement Supermen
This is perhaps the greatest issue of any Superman I have ever read. Where to begin? Grant Morrison is a masterful writer, and here he really shines. He captures every character perfectly, and I just kept wishing the issue wouldn't end. I really hope he stays on the team. Frank Quitely is outstanding as a penciler, with each line screaming with beauty and originality. The team weaves a story with Silver Age charm, but modern day awesomeness. Every moment of this story screams amazing, and I sincerely am putting this on the top of my pull list for months to some. Cudos to both men for proving that DC has quality comics.
Curse of the Replacement Supermen
I have waited for this issue for seams like forever, but finally I got it. Frankly this issue was a good filler, but it did not "WOW" me like the first eight issues. I found the issue drawn out, this story could have given us more, but didn't. However, the charm was a hit, Superman delivers his cool, calm and collected side as always. The new supermen put him down, go thru his things,talk about his father,bust up his work, change earth-really they take over. Once again this series shows that a good comic does not have to have earth shattering fights and chaos. The simplicity is masterful, I just wanted some more insite as what they did. The issue ended too fast, but I did find it good. Where was the back story for their arrival, or the opinion of the city. Jimmy, by the way, I love him, Kryptonian wear...HA 3.5 for this one but not a 5.0 like the rest of the series. I will be waiting cash in hand for the next issue.
