Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Well that was underwhelming. I was expecting Brian Michael Bendis to do something new and different with Superman, but instead I get a book that is not dissimilar from what Dan Jurgens and dozens of others have been doing for the last few decades. Super bland. The big, bad villain - who stole Swamp Thing's nose and Lobo's space motorcycle - is a super snooze who hits stuff a lot, but apparently thinks about hitting stuff five moves in advance? Mostly this means he tactically retreats every so often so the heroes can stand around and talk about stuff even more boring than him. This is the first Superman book I've read in a while, so I must admit to be confused about things like a not-dead Jor-El and an adolescent son of Superman. This book did nothing to explain where the hell these guys came from or why I should care when they go away. I think I was supposed to care that Bendis destroyed two long-standing pieces of the Superman mythos, but the presence of not-dead Jor-El tells me that nothing gone stays gone if the next writer wants them back. Basically, this is a prime example of why I read fewer and fewer superhero books from DC and Marvel each year. I guess this is a three star book. I was on the razor thin edge of just giving it a one star and being done with it, but, I won't. And, honestly, this is Superman, so who am I kidding. I've read all of Superman practically, so, I'll probably keep reading this series as well. But, man oh man. This is Brian Michael Bendis' reboot of Superman, and it's just so... Lois is no longer at the Daily Planet, and Clark is not quite himself either. Then, a big bad (rip off of Doomsday, who can speak) comes along who wants to wipe out both Superman and Supergirl (I'm still fuzzy on why). That's a big fight. The Daily Planet is also in trouble (again, really, they just need a kickstarter with, like, pictures with Supes or whatever and they'd be golden for the rest of their days). There's a new reporter there, Robinson Goode, and she may just be up to no good. And, honestly, the only character (a new one) that I thought really was good in this TPB was a new Metropolis Deputy Fire Cheif, Melody Moore. But, even with her, it's like, well, I'm pretty sure I know where her character is going (and I don't like it at all). The ending was a little interesting, but, overall, while it was an okay story, it just didn't jump off the page at me. I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

All in all a fun read, helped handsomely by Bendis' trademark witty dialogue. The line about Perry White commuting to work from 1945 will probably stay with me as the perfect description of the character for as long as I read comics. ( )
