I honestly liked this series because it felt like a classic Marvel series, which is a rare feeling when reading modern comics. It's a shame that it's sequel miniseries/Empyre tie-in has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, because the ending was written in that, not this, according to Jim Zub on Twitter. This series doesn't so much end as it just stops. Sure the threat is neutralized and it more

A genuine shame that Zub’s comics don’t sell that well, because this was yet another solid series from him. My main complaint about this issue is Marvel’s recent streak of gradually making all of the Marvel Monsters into good guys, or at least into characters you can sympathize with. I love how Zub, unlike most Marvel and DC writers right now, appreciates and uses continuity to his advantage more

I wouldnt go so far as to say that this is the best Superman comic since All-Star, but Luen Yang and Gurihiru definitely deliver an all-time classic with Superman Smashes the Klan
The Daily Planet is under attack! When the Klan invades the newspaper's office, they kidnap Lois Lane, Perry White, and Inspector Henderson. The Klan's attacks have separated our heroes, forcing Roberta and Jimmy Olsen to step up and help save the Daily Planet staff.
But the Klan has one more surprise to reveal. In order to save his...

Teenager Tommy Lee is missing, and Superman is on the case! It can't be a coincidence that just last night, Tommy bravely confronted the Klan of the Fiery Cross when they surrounded the Lee family's Metropolis house and told them to go back to Chinatown.

Flawless issue. I love the simple ness of the story and the themes that Luen Yang writes so well
The year is 1946, and the Lee family has moved from Metropolis' Chinatown to the center of the bustling city. While Dr. Lee is greeted warmly in his new position at the Metropolis Health Department, his two kids, Roberta and Tommy, are more excited about being closer to their famous hero, Superman!
While Tommy adjusts to the fast pace of the c...

Another tremendous and unique issue of Animal Man. The JLE simply sees good and evil and fight against all that they don’t understand while Buddy accepts the weirdness, see his and Ellen’s conversation in the beginning, and attempted to understand the Time Commander

One of the greatest comic issues I’ve ever read, and its surprisingly even more relevant today than I imagine it was in the late 80s. Although Mike says the B’wana Beast isn’t about politics, for some people, like Dominic, their whole life and well-being revolves around politics.
