Featuring two of the finest and most exhilarating Superman stories ever created, neither ever forgets the Man of Steel’s optimism despite some decidedly dark moments.

Near perfect expansion of Superman's world, with all major side characters fleshed out. Second half with Brainac stronger than front, along with the art.

This book made Zod one of, of not my favorite Superman villain. I think it exhibits his character very well. He's ruthless and vengeful to an almost savage extent.

This book is pretty emotional, especially for Clark and even Lois. Zod is one of Superman's toughest enemies and he'll need to get some help from some unexpected people to stop him. It's definitely one of my favorite Superman tales.

A great comic, one of my favorite about Superman. And the first Superman comic that has made me cry.

A thoroughly-competent Superman story and nothing more.

Ein gut geschriebenes Buch, bei dem es mir schwer fällt, es irgendwie in eine Kontinuität einzufügen. Zugegeben, ich habe das Buch gelesen, weil es von Richard Donner mitgeschrieben wurde, und ich dachte das es sich irgendwie in den Film-Canon einfügt.

Tut es aber nicht. Im Buch begegnet Supes das erste mal dem Zod, Ursa und Nom Trio, und einem kryptonischen Kind. Superman versucht schließlich das Kind aufzuziehen, aber natürlich steckt mehr dahinter als man zu erst vermuten mag.

Das Buch findet wohl tatsächlich im damaligen Comic-Canon statt, und Richard Donner hat wohl einige Ideen für einen nicht umgesetzten Superman Film verarbeitet, und ist sehr spannend geschrieben. Da ich das Buch leider nicht im Kontext der damaligen Storyline gelesen habe, weiß ich leider nicht wie sich die Geschehnisse auf den restlichen Canon ausgewirkt haben. Vor allem das Schicksal von Mon-El und Christopher Kent interessieren mich sehr, und letzteres wird wohl in der New Krypton Saga wieder aufgegriffen. Leider soll die Reihe nur solala sein.

Jedenfalls ist Last Son sehr empfehlenswert :)

Not bad as a re-introduction story. The Brainiac plot works well, plus Gary Frank's (not-so-subtle tribute) art is always stunning.
