With Superman issue 5 from DC, The Unity Saga continues.

Brian Michael Bendis is scripting, and Ivan Reis is on pencils. Joe Prado and Oclair Albert share inking duties, and Alex Sinclair is colourist.

Picture a vision of Kal-El and Zod getting together in Kandor, for the sake of the Kandorians, and Earth.

Rogol Zaar is still kicking butts and taking names. Superman is bleeding, and that is not cool. We’re inside the Phantom Zone, and then Adam Strange wanders by. What a strange saga, this one. But it has a good feel to it, no matter how highly strung or hysterical. Okay, it’s universes hidden inside zones, and humans wandering around in outer space, interacting with aliens with unpredictable behavior.

But it’s Superman, darn it, and it’s entertaining. And this issue has very much to do with the superhuman forces in conflict, and very very little to do with the workings of the Metropolis newspaper, and the chat around the water cooler. There is a bigger picture, outside the borders of the local. More like the ‘loco’. The big saga of Superman and his Kryptonians continues…

After a career of graphic design, art direction and copywriting, I still have a passion for words and pictures. I love it when a comic book comes together; the story is tight, and the drawings lead me forward. Art with words... the toughest storytelling technique to get right. Was this comic book worth your money? Let's see!!
