Is it better than the prior issue? I liked issue one. Didn’t really care for issue two, with the exception of the depiction of Batman.
Superboy and Captain Marvel ride the rickety roller coaster (literally!) through the many-hued amusement park of motley meteoroids that is the Kryptonite Spectrum! With Superman now a bit…shorter in the tooth…the Boy of Yesterday must team up with a truly Marvelous friend in a story for the ages…for all ages! What, exactly, is Nostalgia Springs? And what do Toyman and Sivana have to do with it? Find out in this great adventure—chock-full of crayons, Kryptonites, and a cruise through comics chronology!
Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #3 continues to fire on all cylinders and exceeds what the creative team accomplished in the earlier issues of this limited series. Read Full Review
Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #3 is another stellar entryfull of fun, character, action, and heartfelt storytelling. The flashbacks and the device used to present them are brilliant, especially given the characters youthful transformations in this issue. I only wish these issues were longer or that the series would continue beyond five parts. I love watching Superman interact with his fellow heroes, revealing both their similarities and their contrasts. Seeing them team up against powerful foes never gets old. Despite a small coloration inconsistency early on, the story and artwork shine. The inventive flashback mechanism, its explanation, and execution completely won me over. It worked perfectly, and Im eagerly awaiting the next chapter to see where this incredible series takes Superman next. Read Full Review
