Superman: War of the Supermen by Eddy Barrows, Sterling Gates, James Robinson, Aaron Lopresti
2.0

This was...a whimper of a ending. So right off the bat the story starts with Superman busting through a wall claiming he'll stop Zod. That's right. Just burst through the walls while Zod's entire army is there to stop you...what? Then have Supergirl do something dumb and cause the death of the entire race. Not a spoiler, we knew it wasn't going to last. Then people fight...a lot...yeah. Everything wrong with Zack's vision of Superman is present in this story.

The Good: There's a bitter sweet moment with Clark and Kara. There's also a cool moment with Superboy (So weird there's ANY good moments with him) and that's about it...

The bad: The fights are bland and boring. The ending feels wrapped up and silly. The Zod planning makes no f'ing sense and when they get to earth it just comes down to kill everything but with no planning. This is supposed to be a general...right? RIGHT!?

Yeah overall this whole event wasn't great. Some moments of fun to be had but if you never read this you won't be skipping much.
