Superwoman, Volume 1

Eleanor Luhar

I finished this ARC this morning, just one day before the file expires. Oops.

So the protagonist of this novel is Lana Lang - probably a lesser-known character from the DC Universe. She, along with the infamous Lois Lane, doubles as a Superwoman - protecting the city now that Superman is gone. Of course, they still have Lex Luthor playing Superman, but he seems to be bringing more trouble than good.

I won't ruin it for any potential readers, but I will tell you this: Lex's past is really coming back to haunt him now. After all these years, there appears to be a new Luthor on the block...

My favourite part of this was Lana's battle with anxiety. Yeah, I know, I always point out stuff like that. But this was really good - I found it so relatable at times. It was so refreshing to see a big superhero character have human issues like anxiety. 

And I actually found myself feeling kinda sorry for Lex. He was only trying to help (though I suppose we all know the road to Hell is paved with good intentions).

I really liked this volume. The art was great, the plot interesting, and the characters relatable. 4 out of 5 stars. A series I'll be reading more of.
