Back to my monthly indulgences. This one is about Superman, and Mxyzptlk. Somehow the Phantom Zone has been bleeding over in to our reality. Superman decides that he's going to go there to try to fix it. But, against Batman's recommendations, he wants to go alone. Well . . . he can't handle it alone. And once he's in to the situation, it's to late for him to call for help. Especially once he finds out that Mxy is involved. But Batman, being the pragmatist that he is, anticipates that there may be trouble and has the Atom hide on Superman's costume. Between that and the strike team that he sends in, they soon topple Zod's plans. They bring Myx back to the satellite. But with an accident with the Zone projector, they end up sending him back. But the main moral of the story is, "It's our enemies that try to hurt us when we stumble. It's our friends . . . who catch us when we fall." Like I continue to say, I think it's a great book for kids, a fun read, and a great diversion from our usual grand story-lines. Thanks for that.
