I really like the way this whole Arion storyline is playing out. It's been in and out of the book now for what? . . . probably about a year. It's been very well written by Kurt Busiek. And I really like the pages that Carlos Pacheco has been turning in. In the first couple pages of this book, Superman is being attacked by some form of this dark energy that Arion keeps warning him about, but Zatanna is also there to help him out. And . . . damn . . . does she look hot! Meoww!! Lana is turning out to be very adept at her CEO charge of LexCorp. I also like the way we've skirted around this whole Subjekt 17 thing. He pops up in this issue, but it sounds like he's just going to leave Superman alone until he gets this whole Arion thing sorted out. But after the meeting they have this issue, the next one may not be very amicable. With Subjekt 17's help, Superman finally locates Arions citadel. Of course it's under the ocean, in one of Atlantis' out lying cities. Arion's got some defenses up, just in case Superman did find him. But with a little ingenuity on Supes part, it looks like that may not be enough. One way or another, Superman's going to get to the bottom of this whole thing. Which is the tag line for next issue, "In Final Battle!" Fantastic book. Great storyline. Great art. And great characters.
