Superman Red & Blue (2021-) #2

Superman Red & Blue (2021-) #2

by Jason Howard (Author, Penciller, Inker, Colors), Steven T. Seagle, Robert Venditti

Explore the world of Superman in a way you’ve never seen before. Five brand-new stories, a visual tour de force, with only the Man of Steel’s signature colors. There are tales starring Clark Kent, the original Superman, including a showdown with his most tenacious foe, Lex Luthor-but there is also a great space adventure with Val-Zod, the Superman of Earth-2, going up against an amped-up version of Prometheus. And then there is Cyborg Superman, a warped reflection of the real deal, with a mission as opposite to Superman’s as any could be. But no matter how out there the situation gets, it always comes back to the one man and the planet he loves and has sworn to protect-and the people he inspires, young and old.

[Murphy C · Rating 2 out of 5]

Terrible writing and worse artwork. The only bright spot in this issue is Denys Cowan's too-few pages of President Superman/Calvin Ellis. Miles and miles from the high standard set by Batman: Black and White. Whoever edited this project ought to be just a little bit ashamed of themselves for this drivel.

This is the last one I'll read.

[Devin Wilson · Rating 3 out of 5]

"Own": A somewhat satisfying rant from Martha Kent, though it's all robbed of some of its potential forcefulness by her almost-antagonists being so clueless.

"Into the Ghost Zone": Just generally not the setting I prefer for comics. This just didn't grab me at all.

"Patience": I like it okay, but it feels kind of anticlimactic. Superman's rebuttal in the ring is nice.

"My Best Friend, Superman": FROM THE SECOND PANEL I HAD A FEELING THIS WOULD MAKE ME CRY AND YUP IT DID.

"S is for Cyborg": I don't mind Superman stories being pretty explicit and even corny in their earnestness, but there's kind of an annoying lack of subtlety here. And Superman's hair is weird.

Generally: strong art throughout. I do really like the "chromatic constraint".

I'll eagerly keep reading these anthologies for the highs, even when the lows are pretty unimpressive to me.

It was ok. None of the stories were that great. The one about the little kid who Superman helps with bullies was nice and cute, and the Lex Luthor red kryptonite one was neat, with good art, if a bit confusing.

The art is good, but the stories in this one are more forgettable.
