Guest-starring: the Birds of Prey.
Supermans latest trip to Gotham City goes completely off track in the best possible way. Slotts script is a action packed tale with great one-liners. The art gives readers a super team-up that they didnt see coming. Its Superman at its finest. Read Full Review

This issue feels more like a funny diversion from the main plot, but it still shows just how well Slott gets the energy and heart of the DCU. Read Full Review

Off screen we hear that Kirk Langstrom developed a cure for Dinah, Superman, and the assistant. We learn that Damian has been stealing the E's from Daily Planet. We learn that Lois is loving Tee-Nah's banana lattes. So much off-screen. So much silliness that isn't really funny. Maybe I am in a bad mood. There were a few good moments. But I don't know what purpose this issue was supposed to serve. It wasn't really part of the main story. And it wasn't really a funny done-in-one. Read Full Review
Slots love of Superman shines. You can tell writing Supes means everything to him. As such, his take of the character resonates with me greatly.
Funny, I like the use of Superman's secondary characters in this series. Albuquerque's art is really ugly; maybe Superman isn't a good fit for him, but the parts drawn by Lucas Meyer are beautiful. It's a very scattered series, like this whole thing about kryptonite being used as a cosmetic—okay, it's a glowing green rock, but it's usually radioactive too. The series gave an excuse in issue #2, but I didn't buy it. At least it creates fun situations. Finally, I like how Slott writes Superman's core; I think everyone is well-portrayed. 8.5/10
