Adventures of Superman #424

This is such a crazy story what with Linda vamping it up, jumping on a live grenade, pretending to be a ghost, and being subjected to bondage and torture. Add to that how emotionally labile she was and the outright violence she subjects mobsters to and it is an odd stew, to say the least. The story aside, DeZuniga's art is certainly interesting especially given the time the issue came out. Despite the weird windings of the story, since this closed a chapter in the Supergirl character, I would rank it of moderate importance for a Supergirl collection. Copies of the later Adventure run are usually easy to find and relatively affordable.  Read Full Review

The best parts in this comic are the interactions between Cat and Clark, Lex Luthor trying to make Lois fall in love with him in an extremely disgusting and deceitful way. The terrorist attacking Metropolis in a literal transformer that tries to kill Superman is a bit dorky. Lex Luthor literally causes Lois' mother to become fatally sick from working in one of his subsidized labs. He then kidnaps Lois to tell her how sorry and responsible he feels since it is his lab. Offering Lois a monthly serum to keep her mother alive. Lois gives in without hesitation not realizing the great deception. Lex even admits his plan to mold Lois ' love for him to one of his servants that he even is capable of creating a one time serum but deliberately ch ose a monthly one to force Lois to deal with him and feel indebted. Art is good but not as stand out as the Superman line up. more
