^ 'Bollywood Top Grossers Worldwide 2023'.The robot design and the fight are something right out of a Fleischer cartoon, only turned up to 11.Ĭheck out the Mild Mannered Reviews contents page. The security robot that Superman fights is the best part of the issue, taking up two of the twelve pages. With the story largely being narrated, the art has to do a lot of the heavy lifting, and Javier Rodríguez again does a great job with storytelling. With the exception of Hop Harrigan, all of the faces seem off a young Clark, Superman, and soldiers of Eidos that are clearly shown. While the Man of Steel is given superhero portions, he seems to be lacking something. As the Man of Tomorrow finds his way through the labyrinth subarea, he finds what he is looking for, but also finds himself in a trap.Īrt – 3: Overall, the art is very Superman fan fiction.

Kal-El narrates as we see Superman breakthrough the citadel’s defenses, get past soldiers and security robots. Instead, the story focuses on the action of Superman as he makes his way through the mountain city of Eidos Citadel.

Outside of a flashback to his youth we do not see Clark Kent. If they were ever real Clark Kent can not remember. The story revolves around the Order of the Black Lamp and Hop Harrigton, a DC golden age pulp character. A homage to pulp detective, mystery, and action storytelling. The story itself is a fun throwback to the golden age. The story is all narration, except for a final page with dialogue. Story – 3: First narrated by Clark Kent and second by Superman. Deep within the mountain Superman also finds a jail and very real Hop Harrigan who claims he has been trapped for 75 years, while somehow not aging a day.

Superman describes the city as vast and active, with scientific laboratories, heavy industry, and a military. It is here he finds Eidos Citadel, a city within Muchu Chhish. Superman follows the map to the Muchu Chhish, a remote mountain in the Karakoram Range in Pakistan. If Clark is the only one who remembers Hop Harrigan, is he and the ring just a work of fiction from his youth forgotten by everyone, as well as himself? The Order of the Black Lamp is a real life decoder ring, how is this childhood toy real? Clark is questioning this and his recollection of an ace war pilot. Superman searches for the origin of the “save me” message decoded by Clark Kent in part one of the story. “Superman: Order of the Black Lamp” – Part 2 Scheduled to arrive in stores: June 27, 2023
