The first issue of this fantastic new series plunged us into Metropolis by dayfleshing out the city of tomorrow like we haven't seen in well over a decade. It seemed bright, alive, and filled with promisewhich makes it all the more interesting that this second issue is so intensely bleak and dark. Read Full Review

Superman #2 continues its story of frights as Superman faces the Night of the Parasites. Joshua Williams really nails down the danger here as it's something Superman has to use his wit, strength and know-how of Parasite to figure out a way to stop him. Jamal Campbell's art is fantastic from the designs to the facial expressions to the dynamic action, and the environment of a Metropolis during a blackout. This comic book will leave readers ready for the next issue of Superman to come out. Read Full Review

Superman #2 delivers exactly what you want from the premiere series in a franchise. The crisis caused by Parasite comes across as a big event that the entire Superman Family must deal with. In the process we see more building blocks placed that build out the long-term future of the series. Read Full Review

Second issues in a new series can be fairly hit or miss, but this one is a definite hit. Superman and his villains are well utilized and Marilyn Moonlight's introduction sticks the landing. Read Full Review

I liked this even more than issue one. Williamson is a hit or miss writer for me but I'm happy to say, this one seems like a hit.

the story is getting interesting, and I like the writing from Joshua Williamson

Not as good as the first issue but I still liked it. Parasite seems to be a real threat as he evolves into a force that could really destroy not only Superman but possibly all mankind. The cover to this book is very misleading though, with the moonlight chick looking like a symbiote there then being a moon knight rip off inside. She just shows up in the middle of the book and re-charges supes with moonlight? Then she vanishes. Weird. Still, I think this story is exciting. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Another good issue with some excellent art by Campbell. I'm enjoying the Parasite clone army idea. There's a great moment where we see a drained Superman temporarily lose the ability to fly and have to leap and climb his way up a tall building. He isn't able to do it "in a single bound!" I'm not sure about the new character yet, but I'm looking forward to reading more about her.

Shame DC decided to keep the $4.99 price point, as we only get 22 pages of story in this issue.

Sadly, after a rather strong first issue, the pacing of this one kind of lost me. It's always a challange (no pun intended) to write challanges for Superman with all the powers he has (specially when he's got a family of Kryptonians by his side) so here the writers decide to basically make the threat have the ability to give themselves new super-powers on the fly.

The supposed horror doesn't work because it starts, and then goes by, way too quickly or affects characters off-screen. The threat also feels to rushed. I really wish they'd spent a little more time building it up so that Superman's inevitable team-up with Lex felt less convenient.

Also, that new character could have used a better intro than Deus-Ex-Machina Girl. She appears out of nowhere, gives Supes his charge back, then leaves jsut as quickly.

Campbell's art is strong as usual. more
