Morrison’s boundless enthusiasm for Superman helps, but it’s clear he’s shrinking three issues into one. Way too jumbled.

What? I’m sorry, I was distracted by the obvious Watchmen universe reference. Confusing, good-looking and generally okay.

It is like Busiek finishes telling a different story than he started. But some of it does work well–it is kind of old school.

Great art, good story, but Busiek’s pacing’s off again. He tries too hard to give the issue an epical arc instead of episodic.

Awesome art from Merino, just great. The pacing’s way off–Busiek either needed another issue or one less. Lots of good stuff.

Decent; not worth a three parter. The Lois stuff is far more involving than Superman’s problems with Lana and giant moon bugs.

Goofy, pseudo-packed pacing, but a fine modern comic issue. Busiek humanizes Superman quite well, lots of first person detail.

VanHook’s got to be one of the worst comic book writers ever. The Mandrake art is superb.

Is this comic going to stop without an ending? It sure seems like it. It is crap-tacular.

Superman isn’t even in the issue. VanHook is the pits.
Superman and Batman vs. Vampires and Werewolves 3

VanHook has a fetish for putting kids in danger. The cameos mean great art, stupid story.

Who greenlighted this turkey? Why’s DC wasting Mandrake on this garbage? Writing’s awful.
Superman and Batman vs. Vampires and Werewolves 1

Crappy exposition and dialogue (intended for kids?). The art’s great; makes it tolerable.

Kind of cute adventure of Pa Kent and son, but the framework’s weak and Guedes needs a solid inker. He’s goes too slight.
Superman 670
November 12th, 2008 - Respond
In old school annual style, “ruined” by atrocious art–the villain’s a red Lobo. But Busiek has lost his grasp on Superman too
Superman 669

First, since when are Kryptonians immortal. Second, why does Busiek’s sci-fi read like a lame Star Wars comic. Disappointing.

Superman as foster parent is iffy, but Busiek makes it work. Leonardi does budget cartoon and the art never matches the scope.

An environmentally conscious issue. The best is Superman warping across the universe. Some wonderful art from Newton.
All-Star Superman 12

What is this? Foreboding instead of glorious, a quizzical misstep. Morrison dumps the mythic Superman for some reason.
