This was a pretty cool book. The interior art was by Pete Woods and Jerry Ordway. Pete's stuff has been getting better. Especially since he seems to be all over the place now-a-days. They had Jerry do the parts of the book that pertained to Superman-prime's past. Which I thought was cool since he's the one that did the mini-series, a couple years ago, that showed the world that he came from. But the pinnacle of the book, artistically, was the Ethan Van Sciver cover. Man that guy is turning in some great covers. To me he seems like a cross between George Perez and Art Adams. With the best qualities of both. Anyways, Geoff Johns wrote it, so you know it has some fantastic character development and interaction. That's what Geoff does best. Basically he's come to Earth, but he's not at full power yet, because he just got out of the Guardians holding cell, which had a red sun atmosphere to dampen his powers. So he has this armor he's wearing until he becomes fully solar charged. Which the heroes are trying to prevent from happening by keeping him away from the sunrise. I know, it's always sunrise somewhere, so if he can fly why doesn't he just . . . . . I know . . it's a stretch . . . but just go with it. Anyways, while he's fighting off all these heroes, we're getting the back-story on what it was that cracked his psych and turned him in to the lunatic he is today. Yes he's had some tragedy. But nothing that anybody else hasn't come back from. He's just made that decision to blame this world for it all. But then . . . the sunrise comes up. It seems like it transforms him. But then the GL Corps' new ION shows up, Sodam Yat. He's from Daxam. You know, the world that Mon-El came from. So next issue, it's going to be an all out battle. This Sinestro Corps story-line is turning out some fantastic books.
