Superman is on the other side of the Sun. There’s a planet full of his people: New Krypton.
Kal-El is pissed at General Zod, who wants to declare war on Earth.
A lot of back and forth on past mistakes and missteps. The kryptonite knife, other tools and weapons…
And we learn that Zod’s evil plans have already been set into motion.
Meanwhile, Lois is assembling her research on General Sam Lane and his own nefarious plotting.
Great illustrations. Superman looks very handsome (and hot) in this. They get the bluish black of his hair just right—and the blue shade in his eyes, too.
Cool story, information, and world-building.

War beckons
Short teaser to the War of the Supermen.
The story is taut and covers two worlds New Krypton and Earth.
Whats traverses in between is a deft study of the process to a war. Considering the current world scenario this is a pertinent reading as to how personal vendetta and revenge juxtaposed with misanthropy and xenophobia slowly lead to escalations that can spiral out of control and beyond reasoning.
Loved this story.

Great Storytelling
Captivating story that brings General Zod back to his most dangerous position. Layers to this story that will take years to resolve.

A lot of exposition and yet I still feel like not much happened. I didn't find it particularly compelling and it did not make me want to continue with with the series.

It was just alright. I don't really want to continue though.
