How well does Clark Kent know his own city? Are the threats targeting Metropolis new or something older and more dangerous than they seem?

With mobsters being killed off and the Daily Planet staff hunting for answers, it’s up to Superman to discover what lurks in the underside of the city he thought he knew so well. Who is the Red Mist, and why has Superman never heard of someone so powerful and dangerous? And what is Lois Lane doing with Lex Luthor?

About the author

A comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts.

Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man.

Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.

Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.

Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six.

Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion.

He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

I have never loved Batman more than I did in this issue with his snark.

World's finest.

While I've been back and forward on his Superman, I'm really digging what Bendis is doing with Action Comics. This story is a really solid done in one that also builds on the larger story he's doing that shows Clark having to deal with Kryptonite in the work place and also features some really wholesome interaction between him and Bruce. This is exactly the kinda thing I want from my comics.

Another Bendis issue that surprised me. His superman and action comics runs have been a bit iffy, but i took a break from them and I have loved the 2 newest issues. Batman was great in this one and I love where the story headed.

¿Cómo hizo Batman para saber que la reportera morena tenía kryptonita en su bolsa, dispuesta a usarla contra el hombre del mañana? Es toda una gran historia. Y ese final del cómic, con Lex encontrando a Lois. Ufff...

Invisible Mafia part-3

[Eladio Garro · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved that Bendis wrote Batman as a night stalker, as he should be, and remind us of his friendship with Superman.

Read these before I started my Goodreads. Meh. Don't waste your time...
