Review – Superman #26: Superman Red
Superman #26 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: After last issue's brutal battle with the deranged clone X-El, the status quo Josh Williamson has built is in shambles. Lex Luthor is back in prison, blamed for the attack and covering for Mercy. His trust with Superman is shattered after he executed the evil clone. Mercy is free, but has lost her alliance with Superman and her control over Supercorp. Lena Luthor is ready to wash her hands of both her father and her mentor, and has headed off to greener pastures – Midvale, where she'll be hanging out with Supergirl (much to the excitement of those who like another kind of Supercorp, no doubt). And Lois Lane has lost her Superwoman powers, burning them out after using her Solar Flare. But unlike with Superman, it seems to have purged the powers from her system entirely – and while she insists she's fine with going back to normal, no one else is so sure. And then there's General Zod in the cosmos, looking for answers. Time bomb. Via DC Comics. At least Superman is okay, right? Well, no – anything but. He's been acting erratically over the last few issues, and it seems the source is Red Kryptonite poisoning from back in the first arc of this series, when he went up against Pharm and Graft. The deranged brothers are now locked up in Strykers alongside Luthor. When Superman arrives at Stryker to confront Luthor, he's ready to end their partnership entirely, but Luthor proposes a deal to try to help Lois. This only makes Superman angrier – and that sends him spiraling out of control. This is a side of Superman we very rarely see, and it's an intriguing choice to make him essentially the main threat of this arc – enough to bring another mysterious hero in to stop him. This issue is chaotic, with a lot of plots coming in and out, but I think it delivers. Only one week after Dan Slott raised the bar for the Superman line yet again, Josh Williamson continues to prove the old guard is just as good.
