Superman: H'el on Earth by Scott Lobdell
4.0
Once again a traveler has reached Earth from the dead planet that was Krypton and seeks to destroy this world. Lo and behold the only people who stand in his way are Superman and his clone. The other member of the House of El - Supergirl has other ideas about this long lost Kryptonian who also claims allegiance to El.
A lot of fighting ensues among the heroes and against a common enemy. Action packed while also giving more depth to the Superfolks. Looking at this an early entry into the Superfamily's collective history in the New 52, this is not a bad arc. We learn a lot about the clone and Superman's lack of limits along with reaching into the anger and desperation of Kara Zor-El. A nice change from Luthor and Brainiac and significantly better than Helspont. H'EL is a great appetizer for fans looking forward to Darkseid and Doomsday and the seriously high powered villains.
