Publication Date: Sept. 10, 2014

Summary:

Superman in all his glory goes toe-to-toe with Wraith in an epic battle and finds out later the earth is going to be invaded by an alien race and juicing up his powers via Lex Luthor might be the only way to save the planet.

What I Liked

✔FANTASTIC artwork--Jim Lee creates epic and classic images of Supes in the issue

✔Excellent pacing throughout the book

✔Great action scenes

✔Good plot movement and excellent character development driven by dialogue

What I Didn’t Like

✘While the pacing was great, the book seemed a bit long

Themes:

  • To survive and thrive, one must master and hone his gifts and learn how to adapt the practical application of those skills to unorthodox situations.

Score:

9/10

Fantastic art. I would love to see both Snyder and Lee team up permanently on a Supes book. What do you think? Would Snyder and Lee make a good pair for a long term title?
