[Stephanie Ricker · Rating 4 out of 5]

In yet another foray into comics, I read Superman: Blood of My Ancestors. I’ll try to keep this non-spoilery: the story draws heavily from a particular Bible story, as you’ll quickly discover, but it does so very skillfully and enjoyably. It’s one of my favorite Superman stories that I’ve read to date.

I waited a few years to read this, and you have to know the pleasure of this Prestige format comic book is the formulaic mix, and above all, the last work in pencil of two great comics artists, Gil kane and John Buscema, well inked by Kevin Nowlan.
Mildly recommended.
