I liked the back-references to "five years ago", but story wise: evil nanites? Sigh. ( )

I am so glad that I read the Action Comics book before this one, as unbeknownst to me it takes place five years earlier than the SUperman/Supergirl?Superboy comics.
George Perez spins a good yarn and would have gotten a fifth star out of me had this voume and its story been comprised of five issues instead of six. Since it was 144 pages, it would have been nicer to see some of this taken up with character development for a couple of minor characters, who instead develop in a page or two.
Still, worth reading and I look forward to the further adventures... ( )

I, lover of all things Superman, a Superman apologist extraordinaire, gave this TPB two stars. *sigh* Yes, it was just that bad. Where to start. Perhaps with the good stuff. The new uniform is growing on me. I really liked the character of Miko (a reporter) and Perry's pretty much still Perry.

This was an Eradicator sort of story. I've never liked those, so maybe that made me be a bit harder on it than usual. But I agreed with Clark about tearing down the Daily Planet building. It was just plain wrong (is nothing sacred?). Not to mention the characters of Superman and Lois are just totally wrong too.

I do get that Superman can't stay in the fifties forever, but one of the things that I loved about Superman pre-New 52 reboot was that in a lot of ways his stories were timeless. This story is anything but timeless. ( )
