Summary:
Superman
must live through a recreation of the destruction of Metropolis to stop it from
happening again.
Description:
This
issue begins with Superman stopping a group of terrorists, with bullets bouncing
off of his chest. We soon find out that Superman is telling the story to Ma and
Pa Kent as Clark Kent after the story is over. After Superman had defeated all
but the lead terrorist, there is a bright flash of light and he stands in the
midst of a destroyed Metropolis. The devastation rocks Superman to his very core
and looks at Metropolis, and it stunned.
Then, Superman discovers Lois Lane's body, but he
also finds Mxyzptlk floating above the rubble. Lois comes back to life, and it
soon becomes apparent that time is running backward so that Superman can see the
chain of events that have led to the destruction of Metropolis. However, when
time rights itself, will he be able to prevent the tragedy from happening all
over again. Watching Metropolis being destroyed a second time would no doubt
mentally destroy him.
What follows is some of the most weirdest and
memorable action sequences which are too hard to describe. One little event
leads to another, and another and another, until his time comes to either
save Metropolis. Superman eating a bomb before it explodes so that innocent
bystanders aren't harmed by it going off, Mxy's teasing Superman, a chunk of
Kryptonite, and Superman having to catch a baseball to save the day are some of
the many action sequences and events involve din this story which leads, or
won't lead, to Metropolis's destruction.
Review:
The
best Superman story printed in these pages. The art, story, even the title make complete
sense. Scott McCloud writes one heckuva story that a person won't soon forget.
Plus. it makes you think about something that you do, and how it leads to
another event, and another, etc...
