Sean Murphy and Clay McCormack highlight Jason's begrudging mentor style while also exploring how the trauma inflicted by the Joker has seeped out to affect every aspect of his life. Rating: 4 out of 5 BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS – RED HOOD #2īatman: White Knight Presents – Red Hood might have only lasted two issues, but it packed quite a bit into those two issues and then found a way to somehow make Beyond The White Knight's ongoing story even better in the process. Another fun issue in a worthwhile mini-series. Despite nailing the human characters, the artist is able to give us some of the best takes on the likes of Detective Chimp and everyone's favorite Squirrel Green Lantern that we've ever seen.

The issue jumps around to a lot of different scenarios and characters, but it works well, especially with Robertson's amazing artwork here. Nicole Drumīatman's current quest to hold together a world that is absent of Superman gives us one of the best issues to date, primarily thanks to his banter with President Luthor as well as receiving an even stranger partner halfway through this new issue. Overall, the whole issue is strong from cover to cover and an excellent chapter of this saga. The flip side of that is the art in the backup story had a really interesting vintage feel to it, a cross between the 80s and the Golden Age that was interesting to see. It just wasn't my personal cup of tea when it comes to Superman, especially with the facial expressions on Superman that didn't seem to convey the significance of his good heart. I just was not a fan of the art in the issue personally, though that isn't to say it wasn't decent.

For me, the only real "weakness" if you could call it that was the art. It's a bit of brilliant storytelling on the part of Phillip Kennedy Johnson who continues to impress me with this run even if I don't love the overall idea of things.

You go into it realizing that Superman is likely to emerge victorious, but it's how the issue brings that victory-and what that victory leads him to-that turns the tables on things making the hero perhaps his most vulnerable yet. The Warworld story is coming to a close rapidly and this issue sees Superman pushing in what feels like an impossible battle to get the one tool necessary to win the day. When it comes to Superman, the real source of his power is his humanity and that is what is most beautifully on display here in Action Comics #1046. With a character as powerful as Superman, one of of the things I appreciate most is when a story chooses to subvert what makes the character truly their most powerful and-hint-it's not physical prowess.
