I told my nephew that I was expecting a Superman book and a romance novel in the mail. He decided it was worth the risk to open the package for me. Once I got this book back from him, he explained (again) how much cooler Batman is than Superman, and I got to read it :) I enjoyed this book. As my nephew reminded me, I am inclined to like anything with Superman in it. I'm not sure how I feel about some of what's going on in the story line. And since it's massive spoilers, I'll leave some space and use a cut tag. The publication of Superman's Secret Identity thows some definite curve into the mix. I'm not sure I'm really thrilled about it. People are suffering, including Superman, because of Lois' impulsive action, which muddies the tone I prefer for Superman. I'm afraid this foreshadows an ongoing change of tone, which would be a shame. If I wanted to read gritty noir, I'd read Batman. Never the less, it was a fun read :) In a dark wood, Superman fights pitch-black attackers. His mysterious informant explains: “I seen guys like this before. One of Hordr’s allies developed the tech. They’re like zombies … corpses that’ve been made into solidified shadow.” Solidified shadow is a fine metaphor for secrets that both give us strength and make us vulnerable. After Superman knocks the shadowy crap out of the zombie gang his own secret is outed. Drastic repercussions result. When loved ones learn our secrets we feel understood, accepted, warm and fuzzy … for the moment. Then our solidified shadows take on a mindless, heartless life of their own and, horrified, we witness the unintended consequences. So I received this book by mistake. I had won a Cyborg comic from DC via Goodreads' giveaways but they accidentally sent me this book. I was actually pretty happy getting this book because it's written by Gene Luen Yang, who is an Asian American. I love supporting my fellow Asians. I didn't know what to expect from this. The only volume of comics I've read is Squirrel Girl, and needless to say her comics are in a league of her own. For some reason I was expecting this to be super serious like the DC movies are, but thank goodness this wasn't. I really liked this. It was entertaining and kept me engaged throughout. It felt like I was watching a Superman movie. There was a ton of action and parts of it were funny (although not laugh out loud funny like Squirrel Girl). I also enjoyed seeing Batman and the rest of the Justice League in the first comic. Overall, a great comic collection. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Superman is going through some changes. First, there's his new "solar flare" power, which releases tremendous amounts of energy but leaves him functionally human--fragile, vulnerable, prone to hangovers--for 24 hours. But an even bigger change is coming. A new company called Hordr has sprung up, and its business is secrets. If you have one that you want to keep hidden, Hordr can control you--and no one has a bigger secret than Clark Kent. Now, Hordr is threatening to expose Clark's alter ego unless he does everything they command. Will Superman play into the hands of blackmailers to keep his loved ones out of danger? And if the truth that Superman has been hiding is exposed, will it set him free-or ruin his life? Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
