Man fans of Superman analogues who go bad must be in heaven
lately between this comic and Irredeemable. That being said I definitely feel that
this is the stronger of the two books and that is in part due to the
conspiracy/political thriller like vibe that the book has. After 6 issues of
build up, this is the issue where the shit really starts to hit the fan and boy
does it ever. Our lead character has been masterfully developed by this point
and you can’t help but feel for him as his life start to crumble apart. The
best part of the issue is the realization that in while some ways the trigger
has been pulled we are really still building up to the real payoff. Which seems
likely will answer the question of “In a world where Superman is the only
superhero and he goes bad, what do you do?” I look forward with great
anticipation as this creative team presumably sets out to answer that very
question in the months to come.
Highly Recommended.
