Both sets of universes constantly look to up the ante and innovate. Well, this issue and indeed the series as a whole has proven to be the perfect place for that philosophy. The creative team push the boundaries in this issue like never before.

This is a wonderful series set in a pivotal pocket of the Superman universe. Fans across the globe hold this interpretation of Superman lore in such high reverence that the pressure on creators to get it right must be crushing. It would be so easy to play it safe and create a nice companion piece to the established lore. Instead the creative team have created a riveting addition to the Donner universe that expands upon established characters and explores familiar characters in this vastly untapped universe.
