The Man of Steel

The Man of Steel

Genre-defining author Brian Michael Bendis makes his triumphant debut at DC Comics, as an alien being comes to Earth to kill Superman and finish the mission he first started decades ago: destroying the planet Krypton and killing every last Kryptonian!

A new era begins for Superman as a threat name Rogol Zaar comes to Earth to put an end to Superman and his cousin, Supergirl. How will the Last Son and Daughter of Krypton survive a threat that destroyed almost all of their kind? As his world comes down around him, Clark Kent must also wonder: what happened to his wife and son, Lois Lane and Superboy? Brian Michael Bendis, the scribe behind some of the greatest comics of all time, including Ultimate Spider-Man, New Avengers and Daredevil, dives headlong into the DC Universe in this precursor to his debuts on both Superman and Action Comics. Featuring stunning art by some of comics greatist artists including Ivan Reis, Evan "Doc" Shaner, Ryan Sook, Kevin Maguire, Adam Hughes, and Jason Fabok.

I was not expecting to like this. Over the past several months I’ve been bombarded with double page “BENDIS IS COMING” spreads in EVERY comic book DC puts out and with each one, I have become more and more bitter about him taking over Superman. But I did like it! His subtle humor was just right and, while I think this story could have been half the length, it worked well as the basis for a new direction for the characters.
