Absolutely phenomenal, somehow manages to be better than the last issue which was also perfect! Tom Taylor is a beast, this is without a doubt one of the greatest comics I’ve ever read and I’m so excited to keep reading! Also that wlw kiss????? My jaw dropped I’m so happy that was included I could cry

I really enjoyed this graphic novel.

I am really liking where this is going. It is an interesting story and am always looking forward to where the story is going to go.

I enjoyed being with these characters. They are fun and like how they are dealing with all that they are dealing with.

Can't wait to read the next one.

First of all, beautiful art. Really enjoyed it, although I'm a little disappointed because I wanted more done with the revelation of the end of the past issue. I know we will get to that later in the story, so it still keeps you wanting for more. All around, a good entry in the series.

So war's on the horizon, war fueled by a prophecy which may be self-fulfilling. Jor-El is dead and both his sons (Kal-El and Bruce Wayne) want retribution. But even this causes strife based on how to get said retribution and who should have a say in it: Kal-El lashes out and says that Bruce, the bastard that he is in this universe, has nothing to do with it at all.

Meanwhile, Jor-El and Lara's daughter, Zala - supergirl maybe? - finds out her father is dead and strikes on her own. There's also the appearance of Wonder Woman, who is apparently in a relationship with Zala.

Also, the cameos are great: from Waller's minor role so far, to The Flash, Dinah Lance in issue one, King Shark, and Jimmy Olsen on top of the Robins - although sadly so far all the Robins have only shown up in issue one - the details are amazing.

I was disappointed by the lack of Jason Todd, particularly so knocked off one star. I honestly though the Robins would have a bigger role in this...
