The crew back on the space station go after the adult Alien, but find they are also fighting against Cheryl Kimble who sabotages them along the way.
Soon Superman and Kara find a way to get themselves off of Argo City, but that is not good enough for Superman as he allso searches for a way to save Karas life.
COVER
An Interesting choice of images. I have noticed that Superman has not really enjoyed a hero shot. The closest he comes to it is issue one. Even then he is dimunitive compared to the Alien. Still, there seems to have been more thought placed on this cover than in other books.
INTERIORS
The art in the 3rd book ends up being stronger than the first two issues. I would credit the use of shadows giving us a stronger feeling of dread. The art now has the depth that the story has had. Giving us a sense of forbodding.
STORY
Of course the darkness before the dawn feeling of the book helps. As a matter of fact, things get so bleek, that the final solution comes across as a Deus Ex Machina. Still, watching the way Superman finally gets rid of the alien inside of him is worth the price of admission for all three books.
