The Man of Steel Cyborg Superman Review

159157_s0

This is another chapter book in the Superman series. The art style is still DCAU style and the story feels like something that could have come out of that era. This book is pretty unique since Superman is barely the main character at all. Cyborg Superman gets most of the screentime in his plot for revenge.

Hank Henshaw and his friends get cosmic powers when something goes wrong during their rocket ship flight. Unfortunately, these powers aren’t very safe not all of them make it. Hank gets the best powers since he can go inside cybernetics. He almost gets one of his friends to join him, but Superman and Lex Luthor put a stop to that. Cyborg Superman finds Superman’s fortress of solitude and the final battle for supremacy begins.

Lex Luthor doesn’t appear for very long, but most of his scenes are pretty good. He’s still worried about his safety first and foremost. Superman acts pretty high and mighty as I was hoping he would act and he gives Cyborg Superman a decently good fight. (Although it was very short) You may not expect how the fight ends, but it’s pretty intriguing, but also a little hard to believe.

All in all, it was a fun Superman novel. It may not have been as good as some of the other ones, but it did have the best villain. Cyborg Superman is pretty intense and he’s definitely an underrated character. I recommend reading this novel. It’s pretty short, but you’ll still enjoy the nice adventure and it’s a good throwback to the golden years of DC. (DCAU)

Overall 7/10
