Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

In Public Enemies, a huge remnant of Superman's home planet, Krypton, menaces Earth. Lex Luthor, U.S. president in current Superman stories, accuses the Man of Steel of complicity in the threat and commissions a squadron of superheroes to bring him in. Writer Loeb, known for thoughtful takes on the early days of superhero icons, crafts a generally typical, if uncommonly elaborate, story, replete with the high-powered brawling characteristic of the genre. The most distinctive touch is Loeb's use of captions conveying the thoughts of the heroes as they battle, contrasting Batman's dark vengefulness and Superman's straight-arrow decency. Ed McGuinness' artwork--vaguely manga-inspired but much more detailed--is well-suited to the tale's kinetics but doesn't do much for quiet moments, which are few and far between, anyway. Gordon Flagg

5.0 out of 5 stars So good I bought the comic then bought the trade!, Mar 11 2012
This review is from: Superman/Batman VOL 01: Public Enemies (Paperback)
Having been reading Superman and Batman team-ups since the 70s (and that includes reprints from previous decades and most DC crossovers and team books) I have to say this is, without a doubt, one of the best well crafted, thought out, fun, intelligent, intimate, entertaining Superman/Batman, and DC Universe, stories written. Bar none.

This is essential reading for new readers, old readers, people who love or want to start getting into comics.

It covers so much over the scope of the storyline that it makes re-reading more and more enjoyable.
*****FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!*****

This review is from: Superman/Batman Vol. 1 - Public Enemies (Hardcover)
I have always been a fan or Superman and Batman. I find they are a terric duo that go very well together. In Public Enemies you do get a quick review of Superman and Batman's origins.

The story starts off with Superman and Batman facing off againts Metallo. There is a very interesting mystery involving Batman and Metallo.

The President Lex Luthor is up for re-election. He and his advisors have detected a Large Krytonite Asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Lex has declared Superman is responsible and has put a large price on his head. Now mostly every villain and even super heroes want to bring in Superman to collect on his bounty.

Well that is a basic idea of the story. Check out Volume 2 Supergirl, that sort of picks up after this volume.
