Like the best Superman comic books, Superman is best written when the writer explores his power of empathy and grace in the moments where the being with ultimate power needs to show humanity. Taylor has crafted a fitting end to this arc that feels natural and shows that the impossible task of softening the hardest of hearts can be achieved using intelligence and unbreakable kindness.Although, a few moment took me out of the story due to a liberal use of deus ex machina Superman moments. Overall I still thoroughly enjoyed Clayton Henry’s beautiful mastery of anatomy as well as the very passionate writing of Tom Taylor. Jon Kent is quickly becoming one of my favorite DC characters!

Usually whenever you see a Marvel or DC pair up with another existing big IP like Aliens or something of the like, you expect to see a half baked story with decent enough writing and art that works to sell the book but usually you can feel like it was only written to advertise a movie coming out. THIS IS NOT THAT TYPE OF CROSSOVER. Hickman is a genius at worldbuilding and handing you exposition so well written that it feels like you’re being dropped into the action. The art style is perfect for this type of horror story where the emotion of the characters and the scars they have needs to be shown. As a huge fan of the Alien franchise I was expecting a half-assed crossover but what I got was a masterpiece and if the story continues like this I believe it could become one of the classic Marvel comic stories of our time. Congrats to those who wrote it and to those who read it!

Issue packed like an episode of your favorite fantasy series! Its got everything you would want, romance, drama, action, and more! Fun amd beautifully drawn!
