First off, what's up with all these #0 issues? What's next, a negative one issue that explains the past further? Just name it #1 you fucking idiots. Jesus. I was reading the “New Krypton” storyline when it first started two years ago. Geoff Johns left and the story got a little boring and I left. It wasn't that the idea wasn't a good one. You wouldn't really think that a story with this magnitude would get so little buzz, but it has. All of the people from Krypton are alive and right next to earth. That's monumental, right? DC has pushed the hell of it. There's been the story in Action Comics and Superman plus the 12 part World of New Krypton, the 3 part Last Stand of New Krypton, and now this 4 part War of the Supermen. Nobody cares, though. The books aren't selling. Nobody is talking about them. It's probably because the execution hasn't been great. The idea is terrific. A thousand or so Supermen flying around earth. That should add drama, right? I haven't read most of it, but it sounded like nothing too engaging or exciting has occurred. I liked this issue, though, and it sets up a war between the puny earthlings and the Kryptonians. Yes, the war should lest five seconds realistically (they're super, we're not). Leading the charge against Earth is General Zod. Luther is missing and Braniac isn't in this issue, but General Lane is whispered about and Jimmy Olsen shows up soaking wet and ready to reveal some sort of conspiracy. The art is by Eddie Barrows. It's efficient but a little too heavily inked by J.P. Mayer. It's written by James Robinson and Sterling Gates. It's actually very engrossing. Who cares if nobody else is buying it. ***
Where do I get the free comic books?
