My Adventures with Superman—The Ones Who Fell To Earth Finale

The final issue of the My Adventures with Superman comic shipped back in November and I never wrote about it. After reviewing all of [season one for Multiversity Comics}(http://www.multiversitycomics.com/tag/my-adventures-with-superman/) I thought it would be a fun exercise to write about every appearance of this version of the character. I was doing pretty well until my hiatus. It is now time to correct that oversight.

Superman holding the golden orb that was Amazo wishing it a merry Christmas. Ma and Pa Kent are to either side of him.

The story of Amazo and Bloodsport comes to its action packed conclusion. Rather than teeing up season two of the show, the book ended up telling a strong story in between the first two seasons. None of the specific plot points or characters in the book ended up showing up in Season Two, but we do get a note to stay tuned for Season Three. I’ll be that nerd and point out a small discrepancy between this issue and the Season Two. In this issue Jimmy’s Flamebird check clears and it shows his net worth as 1.5 million dollars. But he starts “More Things in Heaven and Earth” with $5.5 million.

So does that mean this miniseries wasn’t worth reading? Absolutely not. I truly enjoyed the story, I love this iteration of the characters, and I loved the art. It’s a comic so great art is a key factor for me and I think Pablo Collar killed it. Collar did it differently than the old Superman Adventures comic of old. It’s clearly the MAWS cast, universe, and character designs; but it’s not beholden to being exactly on model. Collar’s style is all ove rthis book and it benefits from that.

The book also ends up being a great Christmas story, shows inspiration from stories like the Iron Giant, and gives us quintessential Superman moments. He literally says “I can save everyone!” which is exactly the kind of thing I love to see Superman say. And like previous MAWS finales Superman doesn’t do it alone. Lois and Jimmy are crucial.

I’m really glad we got this book and I hope they are working on a second series before Season Three drops. Maybe later this year? It is the year of Superman they say. Thank you Josie Campbell, Pablo Collar, Nick Filardi, Lucas Gattoni and the rest of the team!
