    Superman #8 - The Outsider Option by starkiller809 on April 25, 2012

    THE GOOD: Dan Jurgens does much better work without Perez. I think that the last two issues have been amazing. I love the sketchy feeling of the art but there is still well defined lines. The backgrounds are amazing as well. When you look you see buildings different shapes everywhere. The story is really good in this issue. We see Superman sorta seeing a possible future.

    Superman #8 - The Outsider Option by johnnyphreak on May 16, 2015

    This is a mostly action-oriented issue. Superman fights in a war of words and strength with Helspot. Helspot during this battle explains why he is on earth. He believes he's offering the world for Superman to run. Superman does what he does best. He explains that he is a beacon of hope. That humanity only needs his watchful eye, not his tyranny. There's a good balance of history of Helspot with epic Superman type action. Clark's explanation for why the human race makes him stronger not weak. It ...
