Superman #16 review

As the Justice League tries to reclaim Superman’s Fortress of Solitude from him, H’el tells Supergirl his tale.

Wow, the nurses in Metropolis really are crabby. Lois Lane inquires how Cadmus whistleblower Catherine, a patient at Metropolis’ St Idelson’s hospital, is doing, and gets a mouthful of attitude. Mind, when she checks in with Catherine and learns more on the dark goings-on at the genetics research facility, she gets something far worse than […]

Still, it’s only part three, next issue’s continuation will likely see the Maid of Might take down Alex … or whoever he really is. There are further hints as to his nature this time, but […]
