    This is very much a retro tale, even though it takes place relatively close to modern continuity. That's partially because of the very campy villain, but it's also characterization-based it's been a long time since we saw a story run so heavily on the trope of Clark Kent as a milquetoast weakling who is disregarded by everyone around him. It's definitely funny in a few places, and makes it easier for Clark to sneak around unnoticed, but it feels a bit like a relic of the silver age. Read Full Review

    Such an odd way to end this story that frankly didn't make the most sense. From the first parts belittling of Clark as a reporter to Kilg%re's plot of opening trade lanes to this worried Superman at the end, it just baffled me a little. I guess bring on Mark Waid's Superboy stint in Action! Read Full Review
