2.0 out of 5 stars Avoid, April 12, 2007
This review is from: Superman: The Earth Stealers (Paperback)
Following hard on the heels of John Byrne's revamp of Superman, "The Earth Stealers" is -- well, it's not very good.

The Earth and moon are removed from this solar system by a grotesque, space-faring gnome king and his crew. Their purpose is to drag the planet and satellite across the galaxy to a processing plant that will reduce them to rubble and extract much-needed natural resources. The resolution penned by Byrne involves a stupid decision by his foes, as well as a feat by Superman that even his powers should not be able to handle. Bad villain characterizations and improbable plotlines aside, Byrne seems unable to decide exactly how powerful Superman is in this post-"Crisis" universe. Consequently, this story is flat and uninteresting, best to avoid by everyone but the most diehard Superman (or Byrne) completists.

2.0 out of 5 stars Graphic SF Reader, September 2, 2007
This review is from: Superman: The Earth Stealers (Paperback)
This is the very megapowerful Superman sort of story. Superman must find a way to stop a bunch of crazy aliens who can literally nick planets. Not too many heroes with the power level to pull that off, so Superman is an obvious choice to try and stop them. A bit on the whacky and zany side and not that good really.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Superman story in an outer space setting., October 23, 1998
By 
rprousse@ix.netcom.com (New Orleans, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superman: The Earth Stealers (Paperback)
This is a very entertaining story because Superman is challenged to find a way to free the planet Earth from captivity by extraterrestrial aliens. Superman's power is pushed to the limit, but this gives the reader a truly exciting look at what our hero can do if necessary. If you are a Superman fan or enjoy a good science fiction story with a super hero in it, than this book is a must read for you. It's definitely 5-star reading material.
