Superman's battle with the alien monster known only as Subjekt-17 will tear a swath of destruction across all of Eastern Europe! But the hidden connection between the two may be the only thing that can save both of their lives!
I cannot believe how much I enjoyed this issue of Superman. The Man of Steel while being sympathetic does not hold back to save the planet. Arion's role in the story hints at some unforeseen consequences, and the relationship between Callie and Superman along with a strong setting give the world greater weight than the cobbled together thing left behind after Infinite Crisis.
