    Superman at war!!!

    Review:  Note, I picked this up thanks to Free Comic Book day ^^  
     
    Superman attends to stop General Zod and his men from conquering earth with the help of the kryptonians, but his plan is already in underway as Zod taunts Superman for his failure to protect New Krypton. Lois writes a story about the events that happen with Superman and Supergirl, the bottled city Kandor and the kryptonians, New Krypton and General Zod, her father, and Jimmy Olson. Jimmy later appears, after he was in hinding, and tells Lois the truth about her father. An excellent story that I may start reading soon. The art was fantastic, scenes that give a dark tone and an intense emotion beings out the characters. The only problem is that it was too short, but the second story with Lois made it up for me. Looking forward for more of this Arc sometime soon.
