Reviews

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

There's a bit of mood whiplash showing Lobo's reaction to news of Superman's death amidst the people of Metropolis thinking back to how Superman helped them.

This is the funeral day issue.The whole D.C universe gathers to pay tribute to the fallen Man Of Steel.There isnt a dry eye in sight and when it comes to John and Martha Kent their pain is absolutely indescribable.The world has lost its greatest hero but the Kents have lost their adopted son.
