To me, Superman weakened was actually a bad sign when reading the beginning of the story. It's a recurring problem of writers not knowing how to write for Superman without somehow taking his powers away or using kryptonite. I did enjoy the story though.

I can't recommend this saga enough, give it a shot if you've got the chance. Phillip Kennedy Johnson does this rare thing of taking the original pathos of a character, from their first appearances decades ago, and supplants it in a modern context. The Warworld Saga is a clearcut example of additive storytelling, where it feels like a natural evolution of the character spanning all the way back to the late 30s. He even takes time out of every issue to give a "Superman moment" where you can get a deeper understanding of why he is the way he is, and how others perceive him. These moments from issues 1035 (I own the page of it, my first piece of original comic art!) and multiple from 1038 will forever be my defining Superman moments. This is the kind of book that can make people Superman fans. One of my best friends just never understood the character, and he read some of this saga one day and texted me with a simple "I finally get it." If you like good storytelling then you've gotta check this out whenever you get the opportunity!

Dang that story looks awesome. I want in an omni. Waiting for that. They should just do Johnson's whole run in an omni. There's only one more story arc after this saga. And he's done. I think DC pulled him off cause it sounded like he wanted to keep going. Shame but his Green Lantern War Journal series that he's on now looks awesome as well. Take care and peace everyone.

I always saw the FS issues to be a thematic prologue, or a PKJ's mission statement for the character as opposed to an actual piece of the story. Just like the House of El stories in FS and one of the annuals, they're more akin to legends and myths than a specific, present story. With that's said, FS Worlds of War issue 2 may be my single favorite issue of Superman ever. It's inspiring and revolutionary in a way that few other things are able to achieve for me.

It's a good story, and that fat trade/compendium is a good format, not so far from the epic line, the only difference being the completion of the series. I hope DC will continue all the lines they are starting, be it in Compendium (Kyle Rainer, we need two or three to go to the Circle of Fire TPB, Nightwing and Robin by Chuck Dixon, both are volumes one) or in Omnibus (Young Justice, Flash)... They could be printing money with their back catalogue !

A question off topic: can anyone tell me if the New 52 run of Superman is good? I've read Batman and half of Justice League and really liked it. I'm thinking on trying more New 52 titles (I plan to finish JL and read Swamp Thing, JL Dark and Animal Man).
@TheMoheaddinbody
7 ай бұрын
New 52 Superman has some good and bad moments. The issue I had was too many crossovers between multiple Superman and Sup family books. It’s good but just be aware some collections double dip a lot. Swamp Thing and Animal Man have a good cross over in the earlier issues that’s really good. Both series are solid reads.
@marcelo-ramos

I think most people don't like New 52 Superman. I personally think it's mostly mediocre, but the last part is good. The last days of Superman and Lois and Clark take you to Rebirth, which is really good.
@forroboros

The main Superman title during the N52 is hit or miss, very inconsistent. I'd say Action Comics is the better title all around between Morrison's run starting it, and Greg Pak taking over for the second half (you can ignore the Lobdell arc in between honestly), it ends up being a really solid and underrated book by the time it's all said and done. Of course The Final Days of Superman finishes out each of the N52 Super-books. That one's super solid, and mixed with the Lois & Clark book by Jurgens, it leads into the Rebirth runs of Tomasi/Gleason's Superman and Jurgens' Action really well.
