Superman is back in his next adventure! While Superman has many comics and TV appearances, he hasn’t gotten to appear in many books. This series is quickly changing that and is helping Superman to become more of a prominent figure again. The plot makes for an interesting read.

Superman is attacked by a Lexcorp employee whose armor makes him 1000X stronger. That’s a pretty big power boost and the guy actually gives Superman a decent battle. After Superman defeats the robot, he stops a large tidal wave from hitting the area. He finds out that living machines are taking away the moon and transporting it to their planet. Superman can’t let them do such a thing and he heads off to stop them.

Well, it’s an interesting beginning to the story and Superman has an epic battle with them. The only problem is…it’s a little hard to believe. Superman should have no problem dealing with these guys, but they actually beat him up pretty badly for the most part. We are reminded of Superman’s speed twice and it’s how he wins both of his major battles. The other JLA members are mentioned, but they are too busy defending their cities from tidal waves to save the earth. It was an interesting excuse, but I think they could have come to help. Maybe they just figured that Superman wouldn’t need their help, which is a pretty valid excuse. Lex nearly gets the last laugh in this book, but we all know that Superman has to get the last word in.

Overall, it was a pretty good depiction of Superman and the DC universe. The book was pretty short, but quality always defeats quantity. It’s good to see the DCAU art back and it’s a good homage to the 90’s show. I’d recommend this fun read to Superman fans everywhere.

Overall 7/10
