Almost no one in this series has a role I’d totally expect of them, and if they do their reasons are often different than what I had guessed it might be.Ĭonceptually, there’s a lot to like here – but I don’t think it delivers that content in the most efficient way. I love seeing just where Taylor has placed each character in this world, what status he’s given them, and how what we know of them might be similar or different.
These opening pages are paired with a prophecy, giving us insights into more familiar faces with different roles in this world: Constantine and Black Lightning. Highlighting the dying planet of Krypton, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van as they race to find a way to save their son’s life. The issue spends its first few pages illustrating that initial change. Stupid mainline continuity Jor-El, not stuffing himself and his wife in a spaceship.
