“Blackest Night comes to Smallville!”

In the second of three issues in the Blackest Night: Superman mini-series we find Superman and his family under siege by not just the Golden-Age Superman, but also his wife Lois.  The townspeople are having their own problems with the Psycho-pirate and his emotion manipulation powers. To top it off, even New Krypton isn’t off-limits to the Blackest Night. Supergirl is forced to confront her newly deceased father, Zor-El. There is a ton of conflict in this issue!

I found the first issue to be very good and I have to say that this issue continues the trend. There is plenty of action and some really good emotional conflict. This series shows where Superman and Co. are while the main Blackest Night series is progressing. I love that the main series is focusing on other characters than the bib three, but the additional mini-series show that the conflict is world-wide.

In summary, issue #2 is another winner and a no-brainer of a purchase!
