so much filler for such a convoluted story!
THE END IS NIGH! As red skies reign, Superman does what he can to make the world a better place for as long as it continues to exist. But money is power in the greed-driven '80s, and villains like Lex Luthor seem poised to win in the end. Little do they know, there are bigger things to worry about and the hero they've grown to hate is their only hope against this crisis! Don't miss the riveting finale of this soon-to-be-classic miniseries!
Final ThoughtsSuperman: Space Age #3 is a fantastic finale thats filled with humor, heart-breaking moments and grand adventure. This is the best Superman story Ive read in a long time, a beautiful tribute to the classic stories of years gone by, and Ill be re-reading and visiting this Earth many more times to come. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
I thought the first two issues were among the finest DC comics since Kingdom Come and The New Frontier, which meant this final issue had an enormous barrier to meet in order to finish the story. Does it pull it off? I'd say yes almost completely. Read Full Review
Superman: Space Age always possessed great ambitions featuring three eighty-page issues written by beloved modern satirist Mark Russell and drawn with the inimitable charm and style of Mike Allred so it's really something to see Space Age #3 stick the landing. Read Full Review
After months of waiting, the story's robust emotion and dynamic art isn't enough to really win the final battle. Read Full Review
Superman: Space Age #3 ends the bizarre mini-series with Superman doing what he does best - making a miracle happen. Unfortunately, Superman's best moments take up the beginning and the end. At the same time, most of the middle is composed of poorly constructed social commentary, a series of Batman v. Joker vignettes that have nothing to do with Superman's quest, and a bizarre death scene that doesn't make a lick of sense. This mini-series had the seed of a good idea, but the creators and the editors failed to realize its potential. Read Full Review
I don't think this is a depressing ending. One of the things about being hopeful in life is that at some point, reality hits you. At some point, you recognize that things are bad, they are likely to get worse, and there really isn't much you can do about it. At least not on your own. And there are a few ways you can take this, but I feel the best way is to have hope in spite of that, and use that hope to bring about what change you can. This series embodies that idea, I think.
I understand what they wanted to do. But this is one of the most depressing Superman comics I've ever read. Mike Allred as always is excellent.
I’m just tired of Hal Jordan being killed off over and over again in every book to serve John Stewart. I might have loved the story if Mark Russell didn’t do this.
Wow, to be honest I lost interest at page 18. This story just went on and on and on...83 pages. It felt like I was being told a story by toddler. This entire series was all over the place and nothing it was telling was insightful, interesting, or entertaining. There is no way this story was laid out in advance, it seems as if it was written either very quickly or on the fly.
As for the art it wasn't bad however I don't get why Superman is wearing some sort of red shorts instead of the briefs, but that's about it the rest of the art is par for the course.
Suprise Suprise - Mark Russell doesn't stick the landing!
