A Must Read Superman Story Amazon Customer Fantastic. Geoff Johns and Gary Frank really understand the heart of this character and the problems he faced.

Each of those villains seemed powerful enough to take Superman down, but together they seemed unstoppable. One of my favorite issues was when they shrank Superman small enough to put into a bird cage.

This somewhat standard tale of Superman confronting an evil alien bent on destroying the world is enlightened by realistic characters and dialogue as well as some heartrending displays of emotion. . A fine general choice for collections in need of solid superhero titles.–Dave Inabnitt,
