Good Review: Superman, Volume 3: Multiplicity

Superman, Volume 3: Multiplicity by Peter J. Tomasi

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book collects Superman Annual #1 and Superman #14-17.

The Annual is a crossover with Swamp Thing. In order to justify it, an odd "fact" about this Superman's moving into the New 52 Universe is introduced with an even dumber solution. This one falls under the banner of pointless annuals.

Issues 14-16 contains the Multiplicity story arc where an evil force is kidnapping all of the Superman of different universes. While none of the designs or ideas are Earth-shattering, the storyline still reflects Superman's heroism has a solid ending.

Issue 17 is a one shot about Jon and Kathy stumbling around in the dark and encountering spooky things in the dark. It's got some nice art, but is rather pointless, but not stupid.

Overall this is still an okay volume of Superman stories but just okay. Here's hoping the Reborn story arc brings a more interesting story..
