I feel like the story is meandering a bit too far from what makes this story so engaging, but I have a feeling it will ultimately serve as deep character development.
Though I really like the way Tony's journey is encapsulated in the first few pages of this volume:
Here's what I know about the Plutonian:
Your earliest memories were of fear. You were a unique little boy of unknown origin, shuttled from foster home to foster home in search of parents who weren't terrified of you.

This is the first time where it looks like the series is running out of steam. Tony/Plutonian begins his jailbreak out of the alien loony bin and, for the most forced of reasons, Qubit helps Modeus find Tony because Kaidan is held hostage and for some reason Modeus thinks Tony wants to be with him as much as he does. Riiiiiight. Smartest man in the universe, my foot!

Part seven depicts the Plutonian attempting to escape the intergalactic asylum he has been committed to, while Modeus blackmails Qubit into finding the Plutonian as well. The storyline again fell flat for me, it was OK but we didn't learn much more about any of the characters, and nothing much interesting happened. The art didn't do much to help either, other than the smashing it didn't tell you anything that didn't have to be explained by dialogue, which would have helped in the alien settings,...more

Mark Waid continues to turn in solid storytelling in his Superman gone crazy/mass murder tale. This volume centers on The Plutonian and his escape from an alien race's insane asylum that just happens to be located in a star. Yes, it is nigh impossible to escape from. The fun comes not in the sometimes over the top violence, but in the slash between The Plutonian and Modeus (his Lex Luthor). And, Modeus isn't hiding his love for The PLutonian.
This volume was little more than an extension of the previous volume, and an excuse to introduce a few more characters. There's an entire plot that's being ignored. The reason for this seems to be in order to bring Plutonian back to Earth with a League of Evil. I don't think Waid is making the best decisions.
Has the series officially jumped the shark? I hope not. We'll see.

I read volumes 4-7 in a big rush, so we get one review instead of 4. I continue to enjoy the series, even as the plots become a little more convoluted. I'm a little down over how so many of the other heroes have little dark secrets, but maybe that's just the way it has to be. Still, the new little secrets keep coming me back, and I wish I had another volume to read.
Plutonian tries to escape as Modeus and Qubit try to find Plutonian so Modeus can get him out. A bunch of new characters are introduced, insane folks being held at the same place the Plutonian is being held. Other then that there isn't too much here.
Not sure why this comic is still going. This was a fairly ridiculous plot arc in this volume as a couple of Earth's heroes go looking for the Plutonian (why?) and accidentally give him the means to return to Earth. Kind of stupid, all in all.
I ranked this as 5 stars if, for no other reason, to offer one possible real-world explanation to Superman/Plutonian's powers. That is a really one cool train of thought.
Sadly, this volume is almost entirely mediocre. The Plutonium’s plot is slow and feels unimportant, while we’ve lost almost any plot back at Earth, with any surviving heroes.
Plutonian makes his way back to earth in probably the most awesome way possible: by escaping from an insane asylum in the middle of a sun.
Ahhhhhhhhh an mutant/alien/superhero insane asylum might be the coolest thing I've ever seen ever.
The art is very different from the last 6 trades. Not as good, but thankfully the story carries it through.
