Review : If you like Superman then get this book , if not then still give it a shot . It’s a solid romance with superpowers and criminal conspiracies written by the legend Marv Wolfman . Who is Marv Wolfman ? Well he is the creator of ” Blade , the vampire hunter” , Daredevil’s nemesis “Bullseye” , and the “New Teen Titans” just to name a few . Also as a side note I want to say that I also played the video game tie-in and loved that as well .

You wrote that the world doesn’t need a savior . But everyday I hear people crying for one . “
