Grade 8 Up–Complete with bulging biceps, square jaw, and heat vision, a Supermanesque warlord must once again save Earth from imminent destruction. Majestic, his young cyborg sidekick, Desmond; and female compatriot, Zealot, literally unearth an artificial-intelligence being that can allow people to view the history of planets.
Majestic is a confusing second volume that does not hold up on its own. Jam-packed with lots of action and fight scenes involving a creative cast of villains from giant robots to bio-enhanced humans, this book might appeal to teens familiar with the overarching story line. Some of the fight scenes depict people who were eviscerated when attacked. Overly reeking of a Superman gone awry, this offering is not particularly impressive, making it a marginal purchase for most collections.
