Superman: Exile by Roger Stern, George Pérez, Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, Kerry Gammill
4.0

A really cool look into a man who's broken up over the fact he did something against his morals.

Superman had killed Zod and his crew when he had the chance to. They were monsters, killing thousands, and when they were depowered, Superman decided to get rid of them for good. In doing so, his guilt eats at him and slowly he begins to lose it. So he decides to travel through space to find his calling, and in doing so creates some great stories of a man trying to find himself again.

There's a lot to like here. Superman helping other aliens, him visiting isolated planets to see if he wants to be alone forever, coming in contact with new lifeforms, some trying to eat him. Eventually we get to Mongul and Warworld, and kind of like the recent event with Warworld in action comics, it's solid but overstays its welcome at time. But overall this was a great look into the mind of Superman just trying to find himself again and be the best he could be.

A 4 out of 5.
