This was an interesting read for me because I honestly forgot a lot of what this story was. I came out of this liking this in more ways than I originally did, but still finding some flaws with it.
Now, before I read this, I remembered this story as being basically āSuperman loses his humanity when Lois Lane disappearsā and that sole statement on its own was ratherā¦lacking. Of course, Superman should be affected by it, but the idea of him ālosing his humanity because he lost his booā felt tooā¦dramatic, because thereās still plenty of people in his life that he can rely on. Sometimes I feel like they get used too often in these kind of situations, but Iām surprised that we never see Superman talk to Ma and Pa Kent in this story.
But reading it again, I think I get a better idea of why he goes through this emotional journey. Heās losing his grip on humanity not because Lois is gone, but because sheās gone, as well as a million more innocents, and he is responsible. He built this fantastic creation out of fear and of a drive to do better than his birth-father, and it blows up in his face.
Itās such an interesting story idea, but I think the pacing and the way the story is told doesnāt really sell the idea. For one thing, I think it was probably a bad idea to start a year after everything. Like, look at something like Avengers Endgame, that story isnāt nearly as effective if we donāt see everyone being turned to dust after the snap.
I also feel like the way that itās explained how it happened felt too complicated. Like, Iām not even fully sure if I know exactly how it happened.
But regardless, despite itās flaws, I think what the story asks and what it does with Clark as a character more than makes up for it. The amazing Jim Lee art certainly helps too.
