Superman

Peter Tomasi

Book - 2017

"When the Man of Steel died defending his adopted home, it seemed that the spirit of truth and justice he represented was extinguished forever. But watching from the sidelines was another Superman--older, wiser, more experienced--with his wife, Lois Lane, and their son, Jonathan Kent. Now this refugee from a vanished universe is stepping out of the shadows, ready to assume the mantle of his fallen counterpart and take to the skies once more as Earth's greatest hero. But he is not the only survivor of Krypton to make the journey to this reality. The machine mind known as the Eradicator is on the trail of the House of El, and its hardwired directive to protect the Kryptonian genome permits no consideration for any other forms of lif...e--not even those who share Kal-El's blood. Can the son of Superman harness his newly emerging powers in time to resist the annihilation of his humanity? Or will he be reborn into a new Krypton forged from the ashed of his mother's world?"--Page [4] of cover, volume 1.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Prolific DC author Tomasi (House of Penance) focuses this umpteenth Superman, Volume 1 installment on a Kryptonian threat to Big Blue's Earth family, with echoes of eugenics. In a merged timeline, one Superman is dead while another is trying to live a quiet rural life with his wife, Lois, and son, Jon. Jon's youth and mixed genome mean that he has some of his dad's powers, such as heat vision, but he is not yet invulnerable. When Jon tags along with Superman to rescue an ice-locked submarine and battle a sea monster, he is injured, leaving traces of his mixed blood behind. This "tainted" blood is discovered by the Eradicator, a Kryptonian creation of General Zod, who seeks to purify any remaining Kryptonian bloodlines. The punchfest begins with Superman defending his family but, in the end, both Jon and Lois are swept up into the fight. The art, mostly by Patrick Gleason, is fairly standard fare but certainly does the story justice. (Jan.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
