This book is a blast. Hughes does a great job capturing all the characters' voices, and I enjoyed seeing him look at Superman through the eyes of a younger generation who sees him an decidedly uncool and showing how his example and his actions are timeless and inspiring. Ultimately, Hughes does a magnificent job writing a book that is silly and frothy, like the best Gen 13 books, and totally inspiring, like the best Superman books. Young Lee Bermejo was a little inconsistent in certain areas (faces) back then, but his over-rendered style gives this book a real style and elegance.

A fun quick crossover book, with the Gen13 members learning why so many people look up and respect Superman

I have always liked multi-company crossover comics and I absolutely love Gen 13. Because of those 2 things, I'm surprised that I missed this comic when it first came. I stumbled upon this in a comics shop a few weeks ago and just had to have it.
Adam Hughes does a great job writing the dialogue for the Gen 13 kids. They're all teenagers and he has the lingo from that time period down pretty good. I especially liked when they were ragging on Superman about him being lame and making underwear on the outside comments. The dialogue showed how many people feel about Superman. Hughes also turns around and has Lois Lane state exactly why Superman is still around in comics all these years after his creation. She basically says that since Supes has never been fashionable, he can never go out of style. He isn't a fad that comes and goes away quickly. Hughes was a writer for Wildstorm comics, but showed that he understood the character of Superman. Sometimes in crossovers, a person that works for one company doesn't handle the characters from the other company that well. The writing gets 4 stars from me.
Lee Bermejo is the artist for this book. He falls somewhere in the middle of all of the artists at Image back then. His art is nowhere near the quality of Jim Lee, Michael Turner, J. Scott Campbell, and others, but it is so much better than Jae Lee and Humberto Ramos' work. His art gets 4 stars. Before moving on from the art, I would like to state that the best art in the book are the alternate covers done by the aforementioned J. Scott Campbell. I loved his work on the original Gen 13 series and wish he had drawn everything for the interiors of this series.
This is a 4 star all-around book. Crossover events like this are supposed to be fun stories that you'd normally never get too see. This definitely succeeded there. This was a really fun story that was well written. I enjoyed it enough that I was sad when I got to the end. If you're a fan on either Superman or Gen 13, this one is worth grabbing.
