birdmanseven's review

4.0

I give this 4 stars not because it's expertly written and cleverly plotted, but because It's a classic slice of old school Superman. It's bubbly, it's unbelievable and sometimes a little lame. That being said, I still really like it. These characters have evolved so much over the years. I particularly enjoyed the story of Metallo's origin. I had never read it before and thought it was actually pretty good. Pick it up if you have a soft spot for the classics. Read "Camelot Falls" if you want a good Superman story.
