Summary:
When a ordinary punk finds a discarded Mother Box, all Apokolips break loose in
Metropolis.
Description:
The story begins with Superman going toe to toe against some Para demons. Oddly
enough, down below young street punks are cheering on for the Para demon to win.
(Does this take place after "Legacy"?). Soon enough Superman
beats the Para demon, who drops his Mother Box (New Gods Technology), and a
street punk named Cecil picks it up. Cecil is always getting picked on by his
gang, and with this new fond power, he's going to get his revenge, on everyone!
Soon Professor Hamilton and Superman are onto the fact that one of the many Para demons
captured is missing his Mother Box. The race to find the missing Box begins.
Meanwhile. Cecil is slowly taking over his band.
First off he lets his old boss get captured by Superman. The he goes on wild
crime sprees. All the time his Mother Box is giving him the top information,
making him able to elude police, Superman, and any means of capture But, Cecil's
boss, who hates him, gives away the location of their hideout. Superman is able
to corner Cecil. Superman begins to tell Cecil of the amazing place where the
'Mother Boxes are plentiful.
Be begs his Mother Box to take him there, and she
does. But after being there for a few short moments he's scared and asks
Superman to take him back to Earth. There, on Earth, he's arrested and taken to
jail.
Comments:
A good story with real good art, but I have two teeny problems. One: what is
with Clark's Leopard press pants? Clark, this ain't the 70's! Two: The Mother
Box acting like a real mother. In the mainstream comics, she's a computer with a
female voice. A computer connected to 'The Source'. Here, the Box is there for
comedy. Over, this was a good story, with some killer art by Min S. Ku, who also
does this month's BATMAN BEYOND #7. One other thing, does this issue take place
before/after "Legacy"? I can't tell!
