Summary:
Upset
over the defeat of his LEX SKEL 5000 Battle Suit, Led unleashes a robotic Man Of
Steel after Superman to destroy his name and the main of steel himself.
Description:
This
first issue begins with Superman finishing with Jon Corben and taking him away,
much to the dismay of Jon's revealed employer, Lex Luthor. We find out that Lex
has a plan up his sleeve to rid himself of this alien as soon as he can, because
He interferes with Lex's grand scheme for Metropolis.
As the Daily Planet and the rest of Metropolis
deal with this new alien, Lex unleashes his robot to do damage on the town,
which it does. Superman trails the robots and battles it. The robot is able to
fight back, but Superman is able to outsmart it and returns it to Luthor, who
claims to have no knowledge of the robot being built. Superman tells Luthor he
better claim that a "disgruntled employee" designed this robot to
clear both their name sin the media. Luthor agrees and Superman flies off
triumphant.
Review:
Dini
writes an amazing issue that fits as a beautiful epilogue to the three part
series opener of Superman. Burchett's art remains ever crisp and perfect and
fits the series perfectly. I really like how Dini is able to make a three parter
with a perfect ending, and actually enhance it with this perfectly put together
issue. Kudos to the crew for an amazing first issue.
