The Rundown: Superman takes his fight with Adam to the moon.

To stop Adam from taking over the world, Superman takes the mad Teth-Adam to the moon to continue their battle while also trying to reason with the man. At the same time, he sends word to Lois to give her instructions in case he doesn’t return.

Lois continues her battle against Talia for the Father Box as Superman continues to appeal to Adam. As the battle rages and the moon takes a serious beating, Superman will have to confront Adam on his beliefs while Hawkman makes a decision that will have serious consequences for everyone involved.

The Story: Aaron continues to craft a thrilling, entertaining and action packed story in this issue. As much as I have loved the buildup throughout this arc, the ending felt a little weak. There was nothing satisfying about the resolution and it felt like kicking the can down the road to set up another confrontation. Still, there are some great character moments throughout the story and it ends well for the characters and in a way that makes me interested in seeing what happens next.

The Art: Sandoval creates some beautifully detailed and visually exciting art throughout the issue. I love the battle scenes and how thrilling they are.
