There is a super-ton of stuff I didn’t like about this book.

Then Superman and Parasite fight – guess who wins? That’s pretty much the whole book. Superman worries about getting involved in developing nations’ politics and having sex with a human woman. As sequels go a good attempt.īad guy gets caught in a weird machine which zaps him and rather than killing him, warps him into a monster called Parasite. That is the problem this book felt rushed and more of a filler than a stand alone story, which the Earth One line should be. The rest of the book sets up stuff for later, including major Superman villeins.

What are his motives? What does he want? Superman runs against a dictator should he just kill him and be done with it? What then should he take over world next? Now he has to face the backlash of paranoia from the public of having a god like character among them. Now that Clark is Superman what does he do next? He has reported his biggest article, stopped an alien threat, and life seems pretty good. The strongest thing about his is the psychological story. I never liked the Parasite as a top villein, but when he is powered up he looks like Superman's deadliest opponent. Unfortunately this happened in all the fights in this book. Superman losing his powers for the first time, but I think he should have spent more time being 'human', not getting his powers back in a couple of panels. There were some great ideas in this book. The only falling for this is it felt rushed.
