Sep 20, 2017Superman #31 is a fantastic issue. The book as been on a 2-part arc streak for a while but this arc, if this issue alone is anything to go by, is easily the greatest. The character interactions are fun and deep with art that makes the issue worthwhile. Superman and Deathstroke don't fight in this issue but I'm excited to see that in #32. Read Full Review

Sep 22, 2017The world needs more Lois stories. The comics need more complex Deathstroke stories. And the world needs comics that look this good. I am happy. Kudos to Bonny and Kirkham. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2017The two-part "Breaking Point" delivers on the promise of Superman vs. Deadshot, while also giving Lois more to do than be worried about Superboy. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2017We're intrigued to know more about Deathstroke when he demonstrates having knowledge of Cestus, who vanishes into thin air after the fight, by stating that he'll be back with stronger men next time. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2017We have ourselves an awesome creative team stepping into Superman for this arc with James Bonny and Tyler Kirkham, who switch it up this issue and give us a Lois Lane/Deathstroke story....... and boy, do they deliver. The characters are well thought out, act on point and the art is just amazing all the way through. I can't wait to get to the next issue so I can get more of this in my life and hopefully, so my only gripe in this issue can be explored further. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2017Bonny pulls a fast one in the end with Superman learning maybe a little too late the identity of Slade's next hit. Can he get there before Deathstroke can pull the trigger? This is another fill-in two-parter, but they've been a lot more fun than expected. Hopefully the quality continues for next issue. Read Full Review

Sep 21, 2017Even though I am eager for Tomasi and Gleason's return to the title, Bonny and Kirkham are doing a great job of filling in for them. Superman is the foremost title in a stellar stable of books. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes
Sep 21, 2017At any other time, this issue would seem average at best. Yet, in the context of the current marketplace, its simplicity, along with a strong female lead, feels like a super breath of fresh air. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2017S.T.A.R. Labs macguffin potential is getting out of hand. They are making an evil super weapon and they made a stun gun that summons Superman like Jimmys watch, in the same issue? This is why we need LexCorp back. Read Full Review

Sep 21, 2017I really enjoyed this issue and writer James Bonny delivered a very grounded look at both Superman, Lois and Deathstroke. The story didn't feel too forced or contrived and the dialogue flowed well. Complementing the story was the art from Tyler Kirkman who draws a mean Superman and even meaner Deathstroke. His panels were quite explosive that almost gave the story this Hollywood blockbuster feel. There's also some great splash pages used and all in all Superman #31 was a fun read, even though it had that slight filler feel to it. Nonetheless, an interesting interpretation of Superman and his leading support character, Lois Lane. Read Full Review

I will be honest, I believed I will be bowered by this story. I'm not a Terminator fan since the New52 (I know many praise the new ongoing, but this not my kind of character, even if I know him from day 1 in the Perez/Wolfman's Teen Titan). I find the story very good & Tomasi/Gleason add some good stuff in Slade personality. They hook me up and I even like the classic cliffanger. (I don't like Deadpool easer, but I imagine the same story with Wade ; That keep my mind in some comic state. Maybe this why I like it). I find the art a little less good that what I'm used with Mahnke. So or mendoza was the cause, or Mahnke wasn't well rest. I choose the variant for this one.

Deathstroke writer James Bonny takes over for this "Breaking Point" arc. While at times the story felt a bit rushed (especially during the setup), the core aspects of the plot were solid and fun. The interior art by Tyler Kirkham however, steals the show. Some of his Deathstroke panels alone, I would buy as single prints. Beautiful stuff. I look forward to the continuation of this story.

I find it stunning that so many people gave this trash a positive review. I created an account just so I could set the record straight: THIS WAS TERRIBLE. There is absolutely no character developement, depth, or anything worth reading. The combat consists of a few stilted poses and tableaux that look ridiculous. For some reason Deathstroke and Lois retreat to a tower in Europe without any explanation (?), it just happens. there are so many problems with this comic. What in the hell is the Throng? And why should I care?????? James Bonny, do better. If you're going to write high profile characters, write something worth reading.
