In an A.R.G.U.S. weaponization center, Metallo screams out in pain. Mr. Oz arrives and promptly removes the kryptonite from Metallo's chest, killing the villain. In Metropolis, a crowd of people are verbally attacking a constabulary officer after a loftier speed hunt through the city resulted in destruction of a bridge. According to the officer, a criminal was trying to steal a van total of vaccines to cure smallpox in a third world country. The van currently sits in the harbor. If h2o gets into the vaccines, they'll be rendered useless. Superman recovers the van and makes his mode off to deliver the vaccines.
At the Daily Planet, Lois and Jon come into the office where they are greeted by Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, and Steve Lombard. Steve tries to impress Jon with his past sports achievements. Jon is not impressed. Clark returns from his mission when suddenly, notifications come in of prison house riots, oil spills, poaching, and more than. These events are all the work of Mr. Oz. From the shadows, Oz influenced people to resort to their base instincts of greed and violence.
Superman flies off to save the twenty-four hour period, merely finds himself too tardily to save anybody. Oz finally reveals himself to Superman. Through Oz's power, the ii are transported to the Fortress of Solitude where Oz reveals himself to be… Jor-El.
Story – three: I'm torn on this upshot. On the 1 hand, there are plenty of things to like about information technology. Information technology certainly feels like a Superman book, but I expect no less from Dan Jurgens. The man knows Superman. Everyone is written in grapheme and it'southward overnice seeing the Daily Planet gang dorsum together. Information technology's likewise nifty to know that Bibbo and the Ace O Clubs are still canon. I likewise think it's really sweetness that Perry is Jon'southward godfather. It's small-scale little touches like those that make me really dearest the Superman lore.
Then at that place's the rest of the book. While it'southward swell, information technology definitely feels like a setup result. The but thing I'grand left wondering is why the event feels a bit weak. Jurgens is a strong author and he's no stranger to event stories. I can't pinpoint it exactly, simply something about the issue is slightly off in the setup department.
I would also like to communicate my feelings of the Oz reveal. So far, I'yard not buying it. Jor-El every bit a Superman villain? Get outta here. But that'due south just looking at this reveal at face value. I've got a feeling that this is a false-out. At that place's no way that this is Oz's real identity. And so for the time being, permit'due south hope someone'south trying to pull a fast one on Big Blue.
Art – three: Yikes! What happened, Bogdanovic? A lot of panels in this issue feel rushed and half-completed. At that place are faces that look a bit creepy and proportions that are sometimes off. I'm genuinely shocked, particularly considering how impressed I was with Bogdanovic's piece of work on New Super-Man. There are, nevertheless, some nice images of Superman doing stuff, and that's always a win in my book.
Comprehend Art – iii: This cover is but all right. I don't mind lenticular covers, merely oftentimes, they're rarely worth it. Nosotros had a few absurd covers during the "Button" storyline over in Batman and The Flash, only this encompass doesn't wow me. Specially not for the outset outcome in a story that a lot of fans accept been waiting months for.
Variant Cover Art – iv: I much prefer this cover. There's a sense of intrigue. Why'south Superman so alarmed? Who could perchance exist beneath the hood that fabricated him react in such a way? I wish this were the standard cover, but then DC couldn't practise their lenticular cover gimmick.
