Writer: Richard Donner and Geoff Johns with variousArtist: Eric Powell and various
Publisher: DC Comics (2008)
Price: $24.99 (Hardcover)
Format: TPB
Includes: Action Comics #855-857, Superman #140, DC Comics Presents #71 and Man of Steel #5
This TPB is in the vein of what DC has been doing lately; which I applaud. They take a story arc from a comic book series, one that doesn't have enough issues to really make a complete TPB and then flesh it out with relevant back stories. So not only do you get a great current story you get also all these cool old stories.
This Bizarro story is great and once again shows how Geoff Johns with THE Richard Donner is the master of mixing the old universes with the new ones in ways that are coherent and not clunky.
I have both DC Comics Presents #71 and Man of Steel #5 in some boxes packed away so it was nice to reread these tales and remember how much I liked them. It was also great to read a much older tale of Bizarro that was new to me.
So DC keep up what you're doing and I'll keep slapping the cash down.
