The Rundown: Four stories showcase the world of the man of steel.
Own
Martha Kent is having breakfast with a couple of her friends and the topic of her son comes up. A topic that she will have to correct them on when they make inference about Clark not being her own.
A great short story that celebrates the love of a parent as well as showcases the deep love and concern Martha has for Clark on a daily basis. The art also brings a beautiful, classic style to the story.
Into the Ghost Town
Val-Zod and Krypto are investigating a series of kidnappings in space and find themselves face to face with Prometheus who has a plan for Superman. As Krypto frees the prisoners, Superman goes after the villain but faces a bigger challenge.
A great short story that has some exciting elements throughout. Cowan delivers some impressive art filled with action and detail.
Patience…
Lex Luthor has received a package. A package containing red kyrptonite. As he contemplates the ways he can utilize it, he also thinks of all the ways Superman could stop him.
A really interesting and entertaining short story that does a great job of informing the reader about Lex Luthor.
My Best Friend, Superman
Ava brings a strange object to school for show and tell and no one believes that she got it from her friend Superman after helping him stop a rampaging robot. After telling them her story, she gets a visit from someone who gives them all a lesson in what it means to be a hero.
A very sweet short story that has a great classic feel to it. Marley Zarcone’s art also emphasizes the classic style of the story as well.
S Is For Cyborg
A lone janitor finds himself in the middle of a battle between Superman and Cyborg Superman when an experiment goes berserk at a secret lab. As the two fight it out, Superman gives a lesson to his cybernetic double about what it really means to wear that symbol on his chest.
A good story that is paced really well. The art was exciting and fun.
