Story 1 - Superman and Lois respond to an emergency call at the mines outside of Metropolis. Can Superman save the miners from a horde of mysterious rock creatures? And where did these creatures come from?
Story 2 - Brainiac unleashes a monstrous creature on the Portland airport. Can Superman stop it before it spawns and overwhelms the planet!
This is good comics escapism. It's an entertaining science fiction mystery with creature-feature written all over it. It's short, to the point, and a good way to get a dollop of strong visual comics storytelling. Read Full Review
I continue to enjoy these Superman stories that are disconnected from larger events and team books, giving readers a chance to just have smaller adventures and deal with a range of villains without it extended over multiple issues. This one gives us some fun Brainiac time overall but it's more about the creatures that Superman has to face more than anything else. The opening one works just a touch better for me since it involves Lois and doesn't have nearly as much problematic lettering as the second one does with its design. Both are fun but neither really hit their stride or stick the landing in a way that makes them strong enough to stand against some of the other recent tales. Read Full Review
That is actually a really cool way to implement the environment into a physical and sentient looming threat, it will definitely become an even more interesting issue as time moves forward.
