PICKING UP THE PIECES!
Darkseid's forces defeated the Justice Squadron and killed someone near and dear to them. The heroes will have to fix their mechs and their team morale in order to get back in the fight. But Superman is hiding in a town called Smallville, living with a family called the Kents while trying to fix his mech. He's in grave danger, as the people of Smallville don't take kindly to mechs or aliens...
It is good to get a slower paced story every now and then. I'm a sucker for the ole' drop a hero into the Kent Barn to be nursed back to health story. Dark Knights of Steel did it with Batman. With my heart sufficiently warmed by the purity in the writing and artwork, I don't have very many complaints. Whereas the previous issue made a lot of the cast unlikable, I enjoyed how they all shared more of their true selves. Their relationships with their legacy or parental figures made for a good connective theme, and will go a long way in endearing us to the Justice League when the battle with Darkseid begins.

This is a slight AU, but a fun one that's rising far above its basic idea thanks to strong execution. Read Full Review
Does it all work? No, but it is engaging and a bit of an improvement over issue #3. Read Full Review
