As we reach the final chapter (for now) in this Phantom Zone-based story, writer Brian Michael Bendis takes an interesting approach, dropping the typical word balloon structure for a more (shall we say) literary approach, as Superman finds himself teamed up with an old foe as they battle an even bigger menace.
It doesn't hurt that the issue features powerful artwork by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado and Oclair Albert, depicting a Zone-shaking battle royale between powerhouses.
The ending is surprising (and somewhat unfinished), but there's also some down-to-Earth events to even things out.
Overall, I'm really enjoying the Bendis run on this title. A solid focus on story and character, lots of surprises and a healthy dollop of humor. What's not to like?
Grade: A
