Summary: A Part of a dead krypton
Review: I decided to purchace this Book, When I started my comic colection around the Death of Super Man because I wanted to find out what the Eradicator was in more deapth. This book answered my questions about this part of superman that I feel should be more a part of the story line of Superman.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Transfigurations
Review: Shortly after writer/penciler John Byrne finished revamping Superman in the late 80's, new teams took over the chores on the titles featuring The Man Of Steel. An effort was made to have larger story arcs throughout those books. One of the first multipart adventures, featured the "birth" of the Eradicator.

Superman begins to act different. He slowly transforms from our planet's greatest protector, to an unrelenting force of Kryptonian justice, called the Eradicator. As the "former" Superman battes the likes of Lobo, Maxima, and Draaga, he moves further away from his earthly influences. Superman: Eradication collects the 7 part story that was originally published in single issue form. The story actually ponders some very good questions about our hero's origins and how they could overtake him, having been raised on our world. The tale also looks at Krypton's system of laws-beyond just The Phantom Zone. The Writers, Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, and Roger Stern put together an entertaining, action packed, fun story (as all comic books stories should be). The story is just the right length and makes for a breezy read. Given my dislike for some of stories crafted after The Death Of Superman, this is a real gem, from the canon.

The art features the likes of Jugens, Ordway ,the awesome George Perez, Brett Breeding, among others. While everyone's art, inks, and colors are solid, the work of George Perez is sure to catch your eye the most, as it did mine.

Co-writer Roger Stern, provides a few words before the story begins, and after its conclusion as well. The book has 160 pages and comes recommended

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: good but with no heart
Review: The story about the end of Krypton and how its people mange to wipe almost all there existence , and how this device manage to change superman to become a true Kryptonion, with no feelings or desire effecting kent image in the process & with that almost loosing his life when facing a new equal in strength enemy. Interesting indeed , but with all the talk & non feelings envolve make it worth 2 stars in my book

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: super story
Review: This comic story reflects on an stoic population who doesn't believe in passion. All Kryptonians have is a sterile world, emotionless society and a culture based on logic.

It reminds me of stoic Vulcans in Star Trek.
