Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Hot from the success of their award-winning Joker, Azzarello and Bermejo pair up again to create an intricate story intermingling subtle plotting and social commentary. Lex Luthor mutates Superman's persona into an alien force perceived as a glowering, angry, superpowered threat. Bermejo's stunning, gritty art skillfully depicts the hero as a grimacing, bulging monstrosity with glowing red eyes—a potential evil in the eyes of the public—while Luthor showers affection on janitors and the general populace. Molding the press and even Batman's opinions of Superman, Luthor creates his own superhero, an android woman named Hope. As Hope's heroic deeds garner attention, Luthor builds a "science spire"—a giant tribute to humankind's ingenuity. Using violence, coercion, and money, Luthor plans to capture Superman "on camera" in the public eye during a battle with Hope.Verdict The mature themes, violence, and multilayered nature of the story mean this is best for older teens and adults. Highly recommended.—Jeff Hunter, Royal Oak, MI
