I think this run does a great job capturing the spirit of Superman, and there are some nicely plotted twists, as Superman goes to Warworld with friendos and invariably encounters a lot more of a problem than he thought, and they have to survive as slaves while attempting to foster a revolution. The artwork is fan-freaking-tastic. There’s a lot going for it. But it’s also overlong already and the last bit of it abruptly goes into tales from Earth that I am not the least bit interested in and was pretty sizeable. It irked me that it wasn’t just another two issues of the actual series. Baffling. What’s more, the arc is now quite predictable, now that the initial shock value of the conflict have worn out. So I hope there quite a lot of payoff at the end, because it’s dragging.
