It’s the finale of Tom King and Andy Kubert’s Man of Steel epic and Superman is captured off-planet, with Earth’s remaining heroes left to fend off an alien robot invasion! If Superman can break his bonds and rise up against the diabolical mastermind who unleased the attack, he can save his adopted home, even from several galaxies away, and begin the long journey back with the little girl from Metropolis whose kidnapping initially sent him on this epic sojourn through the cosmos. Originally published in Superman Giant #15 and #16.
Es un cierre fenomenal para todo este arco de Superman: Arriba en el cielo. Toda esa batalla final contra el villano, el cual ni siquiera se le vio el rostro nunca, porque era simplemente un líder intelectual que controlaba un montón de tecnología avanzada para conquistar el universo, fue una batalla bestial. Toda la Liga de la Justicia estaba prácticamente perdida, pero gracias a Superman y a su siempre perseverante esperanza, triunfó el bien una vez más. Esa última parte de Alice llenando de preguntas a Superman mientras viajan de regreso a la Tierra, fue el momento más tierno de todos. Maravilloso.
4 stars for the series. Some issues are fan-tas-tic. Some are confusing and just "OK". Overall, this is a great Superman story and shows exactly why Superman is still important - the ideal, compassionate, force for good who does not compromise his ideals even though it's sometimes the easier or seemingly better thing to do.
Supes is now my favorite character ever. This was a masterpiece of a conclusion, and nearly put me to tears, but didn’t because this just made me so happy. Peak fiction.
