This book picks up on the heels of Superman 'Till Do Us Apart TPB. Lois is missing, Superman is ill and the villains are coming out of the woodwork. The first story focuses on Toyman and didn't work for me. The next few stories features Superman getting roughed up by Lex Luthor's henchwomen and the arrival of Batman. This is the high point of the book...the interaction with the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight. I don't get why reviewers made such a fuss about Batman referring to Lois "the subject". ... Read More

They are long and irrelevant to the main story and at a certain point makes you stop caring about the story altogether. The main premise is interesting...it's about Lois and Clark's marriage being on the rocks. Superman tries his best to accomodate to her feelings or at least what he perceives to be her feelings.

In the early days of the Silver Age (1950s), Superman is criticized for being more "Steel" than "Man". Therefore the warm and funny "Shazam" ... Read More

While this isn't a great collection, Batman's speech was probably the high point: He's explaining that he HAS TO divorce himself emotionally from certain cases in order to investigate them properly: Right now he has to focus on the clues, without being distracted by his feelings for Lois. It's a bit creepy that he can do this so completely, but that's part of what makes the character interesting.
