A monstrous creature is appearing in the countryside outside of Metropolis and putting the beatdown on Superman. Can Clark Kent solve the mystery behind this muck beast or will Superman be buried for good?!
Robert Venditti has managed to bring me back to my love of Superman in a really great way. As much as I enjoy the ongoing series and all the complex storylines running there and the crossovers and so forth, there's something magical about something simple and standalone, the kind of stories told for decades about the character. Venditti works some good stuff here and both Pelletier and Hennessey bring it to life wonderfully so that it feels well-realized. I love the look of it, the flow of the story, and the great color work that helps to really give it some neat detail when it comes to the creature. Another solid entry in this run that's delighting me much more than I expected. Read Full Review
Hey, I really liked it! First of all that art should give everybody some "mwaah" Italian kissy fingers. And even though it was pretty predictable that Supes would end up on the side of the monster, he still beats the living crap out of said monster to do so. This issue maintains the theme of this run: one-shot with no stakes, well written character moments, and fun for the sake of having fun. It's exactly what I need right now. Read Full Review
Superman: Man of Tomorrow #4 continued to carry the great momentum this series has had since the start with a story that focused on Clark Kent, the Daily Planet reporter. Through this story Venditti provides' fans a strong example of why both the Clark Kent and Superman side of the character are important to the franchises iconic longevity. This issue also gave another great look into what makes Lois and Clark's relationship so great. Read Full Review
Maybe Jon will be scrutinized for this attack on a government, even an 'evil' government. Maybe Jon will wonder if he is being manipulated by Jay. Three issues ago, Jon wanted to nothing more than go to college. Now he is attacking political leaders on the other side of the world. I know that this middle-aged man is not the target audience here. But I can hope for good story-telling. And I trust that Taylor will make politics and ambitions not seem so black and white as he has so far. That said, we are 4 issues in. I'm still waiting. Read Full Review
A Superman mystery story. Very welcome if you ask me.
Clark Kent, Daily Planet News Reporter saves the day in this issue. This was another fun, short issue that focuses more so on the usual killing & covering up of people who are aware of illegal practices in business. This is actually a dark story when you think about it. A guy learns that a rather wealthy business man is dumping toxic waste across a multitude of farming land, the bad guy finds out, then the reporter is buried alive & turned into a horrific creature. It's a new take on TOXIC AVENGER/SWAMP THING lol. Overall, it's fun, quick, has cute, laughable moments with Clark & Lois. Good issue.
