Superman Vol. 6: Imperius Lex (Rebirth)
by Patrick Gleason, Peter J. Tomasi
Superman, Superman, he can do what...Oh wrong hero.
Wow I'm bored.
Okay, so this is getting very close to the end of Tomasi run on Superman! A run I mostly loved despite a drop in quality for last volume (Which half wasn't even done by him) but this volume we have Superman heading to Apolopik or however spell it, after Lex comes clean that he is not a god to these people. So instead they want Superman to replace Lex but of course Superman decides fuck that and fights for what's right! We also have a one shot of Superman taking a bunch of terminally ill kids up to the justice league tower. Last but not least is James Robinson story of Superman visiting a planet who wants to die.
Good: Loved the HELL out of the one shot of Superman with the kids. It's heartfelt, amazing, and so damn adorable. It's everything Superman is about. I also enjoyed the Apolopik arc, though not crazy good it was interesting enough throughout to keep my attention. Once more the art is stunning as usual.
Bad: The last arc was really boring. To the point I frankly kind of lost track of the page a few times and nearly fell asleep. What a weak closing chapter to a otherwise solid volume.
Overall, not amazing but better than last volume. Here's hoping volume 7 will close out Peter's run in a strong way! A 3 out of 5.
