Batman v Superman variant cover by Tyler Kirkham
Grumblings:
(1) This book is going to be a slog.
(2) Superman works as a pro-wrestler, literally, reenacting East Asian myths, much like gladiators acting out historical battles in the Colosseum. It might be interesting if it weren't so stupid.
(3) Superman shouldn't enjoy beating people up!

Batman v Superman variant cover by Gabriele Dell'Otto
Often, when a book's enthralling, you have to say, "I must only read one chapter a day, because I'm busy and need to eat and sleep." Other times, when a book's repellent, you have to say, "I must read at least one chapter a day, and this will eventually be over." I'm feeling the latter.

Batman v Superman variant cover by Joshua Middleton
Two things:
(1) I’m so done with books having Trump analogues! If you want to make a personal or political jibe, be cleverer about it.
(2) Ugh! Wonder Woman’s wearing the David Finch-designed battle suit with big red V over her crotch. This book's like my personal worst-of highlight reel!

Batman v Superman variant cover by Guillem March
Me: I can't take it anymore! I've lost the will to read!
Also me: You haven't endured nine volumes of crappy Superman to quit at the last book!
Me: But this is going so slow! This is the straw that breaks the camel's back!
Also me: You've never DNF'd a book and you're not going to start now!

Batman v Superman variant cover by Terry Dodson
A few things:
(1) Yang seems to be doing a Neil Gaiman American Gods sort of deal where gods only exist inasmuch as people believe in them, hence... the secret deity fight club.
(2) I'm Filipino, and while I respect the inclusion of Philippine mythology... can I have a good story please?

Batman v Superman variant cover by Ed Benes
Thoughts:
(1) This coincided with Batman v Superman, and as such went to town with tie-in variant covers.
(2) I fully expect this to be a train-wreck. Firstly, there're 19 writers and artists credited on this one book, and secondly, it incompletely covers not one, but two crossover events.
