That was a great comic book.
I don't remember how it popped up on my radar, but I bought it a little more than a month ago and finally got around to reading it. It was excellent.
The quick synopsis is that The Plutonian (Superman by any other name...) goes insane and destroys several cities, murdering millions of people. This book starts right after the first rampage, and continues on with the after effects of his fall from grace. His past colleagues who try to stop him, or at least stay alive, villains capitalizing on the situation, scared people and the government who try and figure out what to do, and so on.
Any description I give it here will not do it justice. The only downside is that it's an expensive book, but it's nonetheless totally worth it. After tearing through it yesterday, I purchased volume 2 today to finish the story. It's a completely self contained arc that comes to a sufficiently epic conclusion that I was quite happy with.
I cannot possibly recommend this series more highly.

This one title makes my subscription to comixology worth the cost. Its included and its unpredictable. It did take a while to get invested in the story because some of the early dialog is similar to traditional superhero stories from Marvel which I typically don't enjoy as much. But there are lots of twists in these that go far beyond those typical memes. Highly recommended.

Awesome book mark waid is one of my new favorite authors can’t wait to fly right through the next book
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023
Waid manages to instill a sense of newness to the superhero genre, which often rehashes concepts over and over again. The greatest strengths of this run are the subversive ideas, the physics/implications of power sets, and the larger plot. The weaknesses of the run start with the wildly inconsistent art (both interior & cover). Some of the dialogue did not age well, or rather, just might not have been well executed to begin with. Finally, some of the major moments of drama were left feeling more like melodrama due to a combination of questionable artistic representation and the dialogue of the scenes themselves. All-in-all, a solid retooling of superhero traditions with fresh ideas. 7.5-8/10

Each issue got better and better. I can't wait to read the next volume. Mark Said is a tremendous comic creator.

U want a well told hero gone rogue pick this book up ASAP. I would also recommend getting incorruptible to not only extend your fun but experience the storyline from different perspectives.

Great premise and really good story!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022
I had no idea what I was going to read or see when I started this comic. This was crazy, one little incident caused the most powerful being to set the world on fire. This reminded me of injustice but this is before that comic/game was ever created.
