Superman/Aliens

Summary: One of the best Dark Horse/DC Crossovers
Review: Superman/Aliens is definitely one of the finest examples of the Dark Horse/DC versus crossovers. Combined with great story telling, great artwork, and many twists, this is one of the finer examples of crossover writing.

When a chunk of what appears to be Krypton is discovered drifting deep in outer space, Superman takes it upon himself to investigate, through means of Lex Luthor's space program, no less. What he finds there is a horror beyond all imagination...what remaining people there were are long dead...victims of monstrosities beyond the likes of which Superman has ever seen. With only one survivor there, his means of escape destroyed and his powers diminishing from being away from the yellow sun of Earth, hope fades fast for Superman and the lone survivor 'Kara'. When a shocking turn of events overtakes them both, what will happen to the man of steel in the end?

This book has many great twists in the story, and the horror of the Aliens is very real...despite all his powers, Superman is quickly becoming weak, and the Aliens are quickly becoming a match even for Superman. There is a sense of urgency and dread throughout the entire book, and the great writing will keep you glued to the pages all the way through the end. This is the best DH/DC crossover to feature Superman yet, and I highly recommend it to any fan of Superman, Aliens and DH/DC crossovers. You will not regret it!

Summary: An okay book.
Review: Though a weak story line, the art in this book is great. Superman believes he may have found a beacon from krypton and goes off to find the planet it came from. Once he arrives on the planet he is attacked by an Alien and saved by some teenage girl. The girl explains how the aliens arrived ...Superman has some code of honor ... that prevents him from killing the aliens, even though they are wiping out the planet's inhabitants. Bad on many levels but still readable, buy it if you have some extra bucks.
