Yeah..... overall I got to say this is my favorite Superman event of all time, surpassing Superman Reborn and just below Death of Superman. The art, the action, the pacing all works for me. I like how Superman didnt just punch the villain to smithereens, but everyone had a big role to play. The Super family coming in to help Superman, and Lex Luthor deactivating Brainiac's ship was well-done. I am interested to see how this plays out, I actually thought Brainiac and the Queen were interesting. Overall I'm excited for Absolute Power and how Joshua Williamson will play out hte rest of his Superman series. more

Just another solid issue by Williamson, Izaakes and company. While i would prefer less decompressed stories, the creative team nonetheless provides positive momentum each issue. This issue, like most in this run, brings a smile at some point. Looking forward to the “showdown” next issue!

Points for art only!

Sigh, sigh. From a writing perspective, it's interesting how this run is doing more damage to Selina's character than her other infamous runs - at least prior writers were trying to tell a story about a character. This feels like just random ideas happening, but it really erodes who Selina is as a person in process. Why does she need money? Didn't she just teach a bunch of people to rob half of Gotham? It just makes no sense and really portrays Selina as a shallow, impulsive, dumb, and near-sighted character. My only hope is that eventually, as with all things, this Howard reign of terror will end. more

A huge swing and a miss! Why wouldn’t we see a flashback story that explains why Diana does not want Clark to interfere or just do a reprint that supports why Diana is refusing help (except King probably doesn’t have the receipts needed to support it).

Tini Howard's run can't end soon enough.

If this story needed to be told, I’m glad Mark Waid was the one who told it. Should kneecap any hack who decides they need to screw with Kingdom Come for the next few generations.

Horrible comic

Do you like drama? Do you like stories of betrayal? Do you like family drama? Do you like meteors? How about all together in one shit sandwich?

Pretentious beyond anything reasonable. King swings for the fences and generates a big whiff of hot air.

I can give Tom king a lot of flak, I think a lot of his books rely on hitting you over the head with faux-gravitas, kind of like being a Neil Gaiman but without the depth or talent.
while feeling like he overstayed his welcome on Mister Miracle, was dealing with his own issues in Strange Adventures, and Human Target wasn’t as good as Milligan’s retool of him but still a decent read. - I was really looking forward to Danger Street. I’m old enough to have many of the original issues (anyone want to sell their copy of Lady Cop?).
The series has been Tom King, but at least fun.
This issue, on the other hand, is Tom King at his worst. He’s either pulling a fast one on the readers by knowing he’s sounding obnoxious, or he’s simply writing obnoxiously. This is a case of someone trying way too hard to be “meaningful”. Just write a good story and the meaning will come.
My minor was in Philosophy and most of this dialogue is ripped out of first year reference books.
I won’t even get into his characterisations of Mark Shaw, Manhunter and Code Name:Assassin as it’s clear he doesn’t want to use their original portrayals anyway (Shaw isn’t bad, but Assassin is someone else entirely).
Simply put; this issue is a load of hooey and classic bad King writing. Hope for better next time around. more

It's almost a crime that this comic isn't selling 200,000 copies each month. It's arguably DC's best current comic. I've been praising Dan Mora's art since BOOM's Once & Future and I'm delighted he's on this book. Waid appears to be having an absolute blast writing this series.

An essential buy!

Maintains the incredibly consistent quality we’ve come to expect from this series.

One of the best books out there right now.

This is my highlight book of every month. Like the finest of chocolate, enjoy it slowly because it only comes in small doses.

Art 10/10. Mora, do I need to say more?

Story: The stakes are high, the world is ending, heroes are giving their lives and things look bleak! The robot uprising continues and both sides make progress towards an end clash. All I will say is every page is great and I love all the cameos. Everything about this is almost every super hero comic should be.

This is the gold standard. more

Wow, who would thought? Jeremy Adams and Phillip Kennedy Johnson wrighting a fantastic book with two great artists... please give this book a chance

Jeremy Adams might be one of the best upcoming comic book writers. Art is great, story is good, action is good. I am a bit iffy on how Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris broke up, but this is a serious strong start to Green Lantern. Cant wait to see how this goes.

Still one of the best comics that are ongoing right now.

Easily the best book DC produces month in and month out! Let’s bring on Shazam!

Hey a Wonder Woman event that isn't trash! At least not so far. I actually really want to see what happens here.

A bit of a step up from the previous issue. I’m still interested in Selina’s prison storyline the most out of the two ongoing stories, but Eiko & Dario’s was just a bit more interesting this go around (especially with Onyx getting involved). The interaction between all three over the phone was done well, and I’m hoping Eiko & Dario’s story continues to get better as times goes on. As for Selina, I enjoy seeing the relationship between her and the other prisoners develop and I’m interested to see what comes next with Regina now joining them. more

a really awesome story that has heart, effort, and is just outright fun and entertaining.

I think the art is kind of hurting the impact of the writing, but the writing is really good.

A definite recommendation on this one. I enjoyed this more than the others in this series.
