4.0 out of 5 stars Nice story, GREAT art, July 21, 2002

This review is from: Superman Gen Thirteen (Paperback)

This is a nice little tale about a bunch of superpowered teenagers arriving in Metropolis. One of them gets knocked uncouncious during Superman's battle with a giant cybernetic gorilla, and wakes up thinking she's Supergirl. Which doesn't go down well with the real Supergirl....this is more about characterisation that action, and it's a well-paced and very readable book. Gen 13 especially are very amusingly written - at first they believe Superman is a square, but by the end of the story, they've seen just how cool he can be.

Enough of that - Lee Bermejo's artwork is what makes this book so impressive. I would call it Lenil Francis Yu done properly. It's like single frames from a movie, rather than the stylised cartoon figures of most modern comics. The expressions and details and body language is so accurate and realistic, it's a pleasure to look at, and the colours and inks suit the pencils just perfectly. Best of all is the way Superman is drawn. Most artists need to draw Superman as a characature these days to get across how mighty he is, a ridiculously over-built cartoon. Berjemo makes the Man of Steel far more impressive by showing him as just a big, strong, yet realistic-loooking guy, and thus makes him look truly awesome. Hands down, some of the best Superman artwork I've ever seen.

Overall, a nice, small-scale story with sensational artwork.

This review is from: Superman Gen Thirteen (Paperback)

There have been thousands of crossovers in comics and Superman has participated in many of them however if this is not the best Superman crossover it has to be at least in the Top 5...great story great art great Gen 13 characters and a legendary Superman make for a great read.
