  Un Cómic Más / Dave DSG

  Apr 22, 2026

  MAIN STORY
  
  -“OUR KRYPTONITE” by Brad Meltzer, Pepe Larraz, Matthew Wilson, and Clayton Cowles: Superman and Spider-Man team up to stop their two worst arch-enemies, who have mysteriously captured them. This excellent story clearly demonstrates how similar these characters are, highlighting their unique and shared personality traits. The action sequences are tense and epic.
  
  SHORT STORIES
  
  -“METROPOLIS MARVELS” by Dan Slott, Marcos Martin, Muntsa Vicente, Lindsey Cohik, and Joe Caramagna: Spider-Man Noir and Superman cross paths to bring Lex Luthor to justice. This comic offers a 1930s Superman look, before he could fly, which perfectly complements Spider-Man Noir's detective era. The two versions coexist in the Gold en Age of comics.
  
  - “SWEETHEARTS” by JOE KELLY, HUMBERTO RAMOS, EDGAR DELGADO, and JOE CARAMAGNA: Lana Lang and Gwen Stacy are Clark and Peter's first girlfriends during their teenage years. They share the reasons why they're in love, while their boyfriends face enemies and arrive late. The chemistry between the two is fantastic.
  
  - “IDENTITY WAR” by GEOFF JOHNS, GARY FRANK, BRAD ANDERSON, and JOE CARAMAGNA: Mysterio, with the help of Saturn Queen, creates chaos, and the heroes of DC and Marvel join forces, especially Superman and Ben Grimm. A spectacular story that blends these universes perfectly with mesmerizing art. I hope this creative team gets more stories from this crossover.
  
  -“GHOSTING” by LOUISE SIMONSON, TODD NAUCK, RACHELLE ROSENBERG, and JOE CARAMAGNA: Thor and Steel face off against Hobgoblin in this thrilling and action-packed story.
  
  -“REMARKABLE” by STEPHANIE PHILLIPS, PHIL NOTO, and JOE CARAMAGNA: Ghost Spider and Supergirl meet for the first time and test their egos in this fun story featuring Noto's super-detailed, cinematic art.
  
  -“THE ONE THING…” by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, SARA PICHELLI, FEDERICO BLEE, and JOE CARAMAGNA: The creators of Miles Morales tell the story of his first encounter with Superman, where they both face two enemies who blend technology with organized crime.
  
  - “THE WONDROUS & THE WORTHY” by Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman, Matthew Wilson, and Joe Caramagna: Jane Foster/Thor and Wonder Woman join forces to stop Darkseid's Symbiote attack, highlighting the shared tropes of both heroines.
  
  - “ONE OF THOSE DAYS” by Jeph Loeb, Jim Cheung, Jay David Ramos, and VC's Joe Caramagna: Superman has a motivational talk with Spider-Man. The art is incredibly beautiful.

  Astonishingly Awful

  Apr 23, 2026

  “Our Kryptonite” by Meltzer/Larraz
  Okay, I admit, I read this comic mostly because I love Pepe Larraz. However, I ended up enjoying this story a lot. It was a smart move by Brad Meltzer to build his story around the different power sets and personalities of these two iconic characters, that everybody, even the most casual comic reader, is familiar with. The result is a timeless tale, perfectly illustrated by Larraz, that has the power to reinvigorate one’s love for comics. 12/10
  
  The backup stories are a mixed bag.
  
  “Metropolis Marvels”
  by Slott/Martin
  A charming retro tale. Marcos Martin is just the perfect artist for this one. 9/10
  
  “Sweethearts”
  by Kelly/Ramos
  Sorry, can’t read this. Humberto R amos is my Kryptonite. 4/10
  
  “Identity War”
  by Johns/Frank
  Everything Gary Frank draws is elevated, and Geoff Johns is one of my favorite writers (I love their Geiger), but sometimes less is more. 8/10
  
  Ghosting”
  by Simonson/Nauck
  While I don’t hate Nauck‘s art with the same conviction as Ramos‘s, I’m not interested in reading anything he has drawn, even if it’s written by the fabulous Louise Simonson. 5/10
  
  “Remarkable”
  by Phillips/Noto
  I like Phil Noto, but sometimes his art can look a bit stiff, which is the case here. Paired with Stephanie Phillips’s super power of boring the reader to death, “Remarkable” is a story that is just not… remarkable. 6/10
  
  “The Only Thing…”
  by Bendis/Pichelli
  The same is true about this story. Sarah Pichelli‘s art used to be stellar, now it’s middle-of-the-road. 6/10
  
  “The Wondrous and the Worthy”
  by Aaron/Dauterman
  Russell Dauterman’s art is beautiful, but just too pretty for a superhero comic, bordering on lifeless. Another average story, but with better art. 7/10
  
  “One of those Days”
  by Loeb/Cheung
  This is the perfect epilogue for this book, but it could have been longer. 8/10
  
  All in all, an expensive book if you only care for the main story. One could argue though, that Larraz’s art is always worth a higher price.
