A review by noysh
Sanctuary by Mike Johnson

3.0

This series had been on decline since it's strong initial putting, which makes it all the more disappointing that it sort of just unravelled toward the end. It think that it's definitely worth pointing out that Mike Johnson appears to have left the book as writer after the H'El storyline. There are several problems with this volume. First, the H'El storyline is told across issues 14-17 of Superman and Superboy as well as 14-17 of Supergirl. So for the first chunk of the book, you're getting a disconcerting leap forward in the story between issues that are covered by the Superman and Superboy comics. Then after the H'El storyline, Mike Johnson leaves the book as writer and the change in tone and coherence is immediately evident. The parts that you do get of the H'El storyline are compelling, but the following issues are not.
