As Superman leaves his powers are super-charged and he becomes another threatening pawn for Bendix; will Superman create an international incident playing into Bendix’s master plan?
The Pulse:
Fun art telling a multi-layered story with strong characterization. The supercharging of a Superman’s powers is an old trope though. 6.5 out of 10.
