The artwork is this collection’s saving grace. Instead of feeling like a unique adventure starring the biggest heroes in all of DC Comics, this just feels like a second-rate Justice League comic. Superman himself is barely present here and spends most of the arc simply holding the Watchtower up with his super-strength. For the most part, the members of the Trinity have little contact with one another and each end up performing different roles all on their own. In addition, part of this final storyline’s failure comes from the lack of focus on the Trinity itself. It sill isn’t terrible, but it isn’t something that most fans should go out of their way to read. Plus, small flaws, like Batman flying a spaceship with a hole in it or the Flash being saved by a candy bar, further damage this storyline. This is primarily because the plot is incredibly generic. There are moments of excitement here, particularly when it seems as if the members of the Trinity are in real danger, however the overall appeal of the storyline is rather low. The rest of Dead Space is written by Francis Manapul and sees the Trinity face off against an alien threat onboard the Watchtower. Readers do not learn anything more about Superman’s condition and this does not really build much excitement for the larger event. Though this is somewhat interesting, nothing actually happens here. It is a Superman: Reborn ( Review) tie-in issue that has the two versions of Superman fighting each other. The following chapter, also written by Cullen Bunn, is much less entertaining. The story teased here also seems to have some potential and will hopefully come into play in the next volume. Seeing the Trinity through the eyes of villains proves to be a unique and somewhat interesting experience since it is not something readers often see. It brings together one villain from each member of the Trinity’s rogues’ gallery and demonstrates why that villain is opposed to their respective hero. The end result is a book that is passable but not necessarily something that will succeed in thrilling or delighting most fans.ĭead Space starts out with a chapter, written by Cullen Bunn, that appears to be a prelude to future storylines. The book also lacks any significant positives, as the best portions of the book end up being the moments that set up future volumes. These arcs aren’t bad to read but they simply are not that good either. It features a number of storylines that are either uninteresting or unoriginal, robbing the story of excitement. 2: Dead Space is a lackluster volume that falls into a rather disappointing realm of mediocrity. Fans looking for some gorgeous artwork, who don’t mind a mediocre story, might want to look into this volume. However, if readers can make it through the story, they will find some gorgeous pages that depict Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in a variety of cool situations. Most readers will find little draw from the plot it is very generic and only has a handful of exciting moments. Overall: A lackluster story and beautiful artwork make for a book where personal preference dictates the volume’s ultimate appeal. The main storyline is generic and feels like a second-rate Justice League comic. The artwork features some creative structures and beautiful splash pages, significantly enhancing the reading process.Ĭons: The Superman: Reborn tie-in is very weak. There are some exciting moments throughout the book. Pros: This volume begins building some interesting plotlines for the future.
