Very fun, but mostly moving pieces around for the next story, which is already a doozy. I think these stories will work even better in an Omnibus collection with the Next story.

Really great. I haven’t read Superman in ages but this larger entire Warworld arc is on everyone’s top ten lists, so here I am. I can see why. A ship crashes to earth with some kind of kryptonian refugees on it, at the same time a genesis crystal thingy galvanizes the world powers into vying for it. Causing a push-pull on Superman to figure out what’s going on with the refugees and if Warworld needs his help, while also dealing with the squabbles of world states. The juggling of which enemies use to their advantage.
It’s propulsive and fun. The artwork is stellar. There’s a lot going on and has a major focus on just Superman, which I liked. I think it could have gotten quite muddled otherwise. There are fantastically cool moments and heart warming ones, and it also even manages to setup the next arc. Albeit over a pretty protracted time. I’ll certainly pick up the next trade though, great stuff.

Really interesting premise and I'm excited to see where this goes. Great art as well.

I’ll keep it short and sweet. The art? Wow. Superman having a purpose and motivation in the story and not just existing positively or negatively in the lives around him? Wow. Mongul being a genuine threat and not a one and done villain? Wow. The whole Superman family showing no respect for Batman? Wow. Okay, not too short but really, this is the freshest run I’ve read on Superman in the last 15 years I’ve been reading.
