Meanwhile, Rogol Zaar is tearing his way back to Earth now that he has access to it once more. Superman #2 cover by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, and Alex Sinclair Superman #2 is an example of one of those weird comics where little is advanced, yet I'm never left bored I enjoyed the book, but I did[...]

He is next visited by the Martian Manhunter, whom has a most unusual proposal for the Man of Steel.

The issue slows[...]

You just float through a series of semi-historical events, never learning about even a fictionalized version of the people who perpetrated said events.

Even if he gets it, he cannot operate the artifact on his own.

Bryan Hitch and Alex Sinclair impress in the second installment, providing my favorite art of the book Kaare Andrews's work leaves a little to be desired detail-wise in the final story, but you get to see Atomic Skull in his pajamas — so that's awesome.

Alex Sinclair provides some high-contrast and eye-catching color art in the Jimenez sections, and Campbell's color art is as sleek as his pencil and inkwork. While it arguably overcomplicates the story of the Judge, Nightwing #39 is another solid entry in this series The artists put in some great work, and Sam Humphries keeps the Judge creepy[...]

Secondly, this arc is starting to feel a little long already, and it's up to the rest of this story to justify the length. Nightwing #37 art by Klaus Janson (pictured), Jamal Campbell, and Alex Sinclair (pictured) Klaus Janson is a great choice for the flashback sequences His grit, contrasted by the sleekness of the present art[...]
