    Superman 675 review

    Ok this is my first review so bear with me.
    Superman 675 is an oversized issue with some good stuff going for it.  Superman has to team up with the villain Paragon in order to stop the priest of Daxam from attacking metropolis. Paragon isn’t exactly interested in helping Superman or saving metropolis but he is insulted by the priest so he lends supes a hand. After being injured by Paragon the priest retreat to their ship and unleash a cosmic golem upon the Earth, leaving Supes and Paragon to figure out how to defeat it.

    I did not read the first part of this story arc but I still found it easy to follow. There were some humorous situations in the story witch I really liked. My favorite part of the book was Superman explaining to the priest of Daxam that they need to leave Earth because they could die from lead poisoning. Paragon leaves the battle and returns with a machine gun to shoot the priest.

    My biggest complaint with the issue was Superman doing some things out of character. In one panel he flings one of the priest into the daily planet building. Why Superman would do something that could harm people possibly even his wife is beyond me.

    Overall I thought it was an entertaining issue with a few flaws.

    Thanks for reading the review!
