It's lost a little of the character charm as it's a fully plot driven issue, but it's still fun and engaging in its own superhero shenanigans way. Ending on another cliffhanger, the hook trick remains solid and, despite my slight criticism, I am eager for more.

Love the vibe so far, really fun stuff. Can't wait for this western stuff they're teasing

La verdad es que en un par de números, Joshua Williamson ha puesto el mundo de Superman de patas arriba tan solo haciendo un demencial upgrade en las habilidades de uno de los villanos recurrentes del Hombre de Acero. Pero además ha tenido tiempo de dejar unos cuantos vistazos a lo que podrá dar de sí esta nueva etapa en la cabecera clásica del superhéroe por antonomasia de DC Cómics, con ese nuevo "cónclave del mal" o el cameillo de una nueva aparente aliada de corte sobrenatural (todo el mundo sabe de la OTRA kryptonita para Superman que son los poderes y habilidades otorgados o ligados a la magia y elementos fuera de toda ciencia demostrada y conocida). Por no hablar del nuevo status de la relación entre Clark y Lex Luthor, quien parece que está harto de actuar de "Pepito Grillo", pero que pretende lograr una colaboración totalmente estrecha con el Kryptoniano... ¿Por el Bien de Metropolis?... Aún es muy pronto para asegurarlo.

El arte y color son un gran punto para adentrarse sin miedo a esta nueva etapa. Es fresco pero tiene cierto aire clásico que casa a la perfección.

Night of the parasite is a neat continuation with a multiplying zombie-like invasion force taking over Metropolis and forcing it into darkness. Luthor's whispering in Superman's ear is getting the slightest bit annoying, but I know the Man Of Steel will have to start listening to him soon. I started looking into this series more when the cover of issue #10 caught my eye in my LCS, depicting Superman in an old west setting, and you get a glimpse of that in this issue after the introduction (I assume she's new but don't know for sure) of a very cool looking, mysterious character named Marilyn Moonlight. She looks very cool, and the art in this title by Jamal Campbell continues to impress. I'm enjoying this run so far for sure.

Oh wow! Okay then! What a twist!

Also can I say I just absolutely loved the homage to the animated series? This is so much fun :} It's a good story, Superman is facing an adequate foe who can take him on and be hopefully beaten back without it being a little too ridiculous... I hate when they make the villain so overpowered the hero seems helpless and then somehow magically gets stronger against all odds and wins... it makes no sense.

But this seems like something that could even out. And I cannot wait for the next issue.

Viendo cómo todos estos clones de Parásito crecen alrededor de la ciudad de Metrópolis, Luthor continúa intentando convencer a Superman de que debe dejar de pensar en pequeño y unirse a él. Mercy también intenta convencerlo de lo mismo, para que se una Supercorp. Sin embargo, el kryptoniano sigue sin ceder.

A pesar del caos, Clark corre a buscar a Lois tan rápido como se entera de parte de Jon que no la encontró. Pero el kryptoniano se encuentra con una desagradable sorpresa en el Daily Planet...

I can see elements in this that could be interesting, like Parasite's powers evolving but I'll be honest after reading Joshua's Flash run I kind of expected a bit more. Like that was such a human story and so far Superman has been anything bit, it's just been smash smash and Lex talking.

I don't know maybe it'll redeem itself but it's hard to say so early on. See even the art is just alright, this is one of DC's biggest characters but for some reason he's always getting the short straw.

Accidentally reread the first issue, but I think that was a good thing, because it had been too long since I've b read it. I really liked this issue. It was very plotdriven but the plot is good. It wasn't just action scenes either but a good balance, and overall a very interesting issue with some horroresque vibes to it.

Will Superman spring Lex from prison? Will Rudy recombine? Will Lois stay hungry? Who knows but let's find out. Great artwork and a good story. Don't let Lex win Sups.

[Jennifer Baratta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outstanding issue

Very gross ending!
Seriously Parasites?!?!?
At least Leslie made an appearance.
Lex Luthor needs to realize he is not important to Superman.

MARILYN MOONLIGHTTT

3.5. Pretty decent. Not much else to say

[Edward Covington · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.75⭐️

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Art is great, story is solid, but it's just not hooking me completely. Kind of feels like a breezy read verses one that gets the heart of supes.

[Joey Amorim · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lot of interesting things going on here. We've got Parasite zombies, and we're teasing ghosts/cowboys/ghost cowboys. What're you up to Josh??

[Jack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh this is just delightful

[Meetee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Got this book solely for the first appearance of Marilyn Moonlight and it did not disappoint! Can’t wait to see more of the mysterious, badass vigilante!

[Steven Shinder · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not sure I'm loving this Parasite stuff all that much.
