The iconic super-heroes unite when longtime Superman enemy Lex Luthor, now president of the United States, accuses Superman of a crime against humanity, and assembles a top-secret team of powerhouse heroes to bring Superman in -- dead or alive. And in the second storyarc, prepare for the arrival of Supergirl! Batman has discovered something strange on the bottom of Gotham Bay, which leads him to a mysterious and powerful teenaged girl bent on destroying Gotham City! What's her connection to Superman? Why does Wonder Woman want to hide her from the outside world? And will Darkseid succeed in recruiting her into doing his bidding? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The first absolute edition is printed and created to match all the others. Same height and quality allowing probably the best edition of the artwork ever published in this over-sized printing. The first edition (it is numbered "1" on the spine) contains two story arcs. The first features Lex Luther as the president finding a way to use his position to try to bring about the arrest of Superman. Batman teams up with him to keep this from happening. When these issues were first appearing I picked one up somewhere and got to read thru a fight scene where a small host of enemies attacked Supes and Batman trying to take them down. There is a lot more going on behind the scenes.
The second arc changes artists. The first is slightly cartoony but nicely done. The second features Michael Turner and different colorist and the color scheme and atmosphere is different. Both stories are well illustrated IMHO.
The second story picks up right after the first and introduces someone who appears to be Superman's cousin. But is she real? And why is Darkseid interested in her? This story shows Superman struggling with being overprotective and the proper boundaries with the girl that seems to be his cousin. We do get a look at Darkeid's world, Big Barda and few good fight scenes as the story progresses.
Overall I enjoyed this. Enough that I went ahead and per-ordered volume 2. But, unlike some of the best Absolute stories this one did not grab me emotionally as some others have. I paid less than $60 shipped (Amazon pre-order price) and I would have been less happy were I closer to retail ($99.99). If you do not have any Absolute editions this is not a must have story IMHO unless you have read it in the past and know you will love it. ( )
