Reviews

[Clay Bartel · Rating 5 out of 5]

In 1996, the Final Night event took place. Within this event, the Sun is blocked out by a sun eater, and Superman loses his powers.

In 1997, in issue Superman #122, Superman is powerless and must find a way to reignite his powers. He eventually develops his Blue Superman energy powers. This story eventually concludes 65 issues later with the Millennium Giants event and final Superman Forever issue where Superman regains his original powers.

Rather than review each of these issues individually, I'm going to simply say that this entire Blue Superman run of over 65 issues is absolutely one of my favorite story arcs and I highly recommend you track down the entire run in singles as most of this arc hasn't been collected yet.
