Some thoughts about Superman #47

It's time for Superman to end this.

Clark has been fighting along with several strange metahumans to stop Hordr-Root and save Jimmy but he soon will realize that there's someone even more dangerous controlling him.

I suppose this kinda marks a conclusion but yet again, it doesn't work.

Gene Luen Yang brings a new chapter where he focuses on the ramifications of a lot of plot-points he has created so far being either Hordr-Root, the metahuman fighters that Clark met and the relationship between Jimmy and him and while some of those aspects work, like the characterization, others like the story don't do so well.

The story is specially awkwardly handled. For one, I don't even understand why the whole "superpowered wrestling arena" was introduced considering that they were not developed enough for readers to care about them nor contributed anything to the progress of the plot, they could have been excluded completely from the story and nothing would have changed. I appreciate some of Yang's ideas but they're not properly implemented, it seems like he's just throwing stuff into the wall to see what sticks.

Oh and the bad guy is not really defeated. By the way, how did Mister Terrific appear here? He's supposed to be on Earth 2. Then again, no one seems to be following, nor care, about what's happening on Earth 2.

Howard Porter, Raymund Bermudez and Tom Derenick share the pencils and Porter's work remains the strongest while the rest look pretty out of place and unpolished.

Still not impressed and bored already. New team please.

  1. Well, he's supposedly on Earth 2 but Yang used him here so I don't know anymore.

    Then again, it could be because Yang doesn't know what he's doing.
