A Quick Tip by Madpenguin

  • May 26, 2011
Possessing far more depth than the animated movie. Public Enemies not only delivers with over the top action. But very good development on the friendship, as well as the constrasting personalities of both Batman and Superman. Recommended.

The Earth is in danger as usual, due to a comet the size of Australia quickly approaching. However, this isn't an ordinary piece of floating rock. The comet is made of solid green Kryptonite, that was left over from Superman's home planet Krypton which exploded ages ago. The President of the United States, Lex Luthor, not only wants to stop the comet, but he also chooses to blame the comets very existence and destination on his long time rival Superman. Luthor seeks to make Superman pay …

Don't you just love it when two great athletes team up? Batman and Superman have been around for decades. Two of the main reasons people still read comics today, these two icons have appeared in -- literally -- thousands of stories ... facing threats to themselves ... challenging threats to world peace ... and making the world safe for the rest of us at the risk to their own personal safety. However, PUBLIC ENEMIES -- under the guidance of Jeph Loeb -- takes the old and makes it new, bringing …

About this book

Wiki


In Public Enemies, a huge remnant of Superman's home planet, Krypton, menaces Earth. Lex Luthor, U.S. president in current Superman stories, accuses the Man of Steel of complicity in the threat and commissions a squadron of superheroes to bring him in. Writer Loeb, known for thoughtful takes on the early days of superhero icons, crafts a generally typical, if uncommonly elaborate, story, replete with the high-powered brawling characteristic of the genre.

The most distinctive touch is Loeb's use of captions conveying the thoughts of the heroes as they battle, contrasting Batman's dark vengefulness and Superman's straight-arrow decency. Ed McGuinness' artwork--vaguelymanga-inspired but much more detailed--is well-suited to the tale's kinetics but doesn't do much for quiet moments, which are few and far between, anyway.
