Not quite in the pantheon...

Superman: Godfall is gorgeous and confusing.
This is Michael Turner's first foray into the DC world, and is also a fanboy's dream. Turner has been drawing gorgeous comic females for a decade or so now in his more regular titles Aspen and Withcblade, and this Superman trade will do nothing to disuade his admirers.

The basic plotline (as though that really matters to many who pick up Turner's work) has Superman trapped in the bottle city of Kandor but believing that he is really living on a surviving Krypton. Turns out that he's been brainwashed into believing this so that some deluded Kandorian (whose name begins with an L - imagine) can steal his powers. She takes his powers and heads to Earth to take her rightful place in the pantheon that perviously held The Superman, her God. Superman, of course, then has to rescue the world from her wrath and from another Kandorian who views him as a killer because of events that he accidently perpetrated in the city.

Weird.

And it's all because of some storyline about Braniac 13 taking over Metroplois and sending Superman into the time stream to force Brainiac 12 into building Brainiac 13 (???).

Weird.

And it turns out that the bottled city has evolved at a different rate of time than the world around it.

Weird.

But the artwork is gorgeous. Brilliant colors, detailed, ultra-modern designs for the buildings and scenery in Kandor/Krypton. Fantastic figures (of the men and women) throughout.

It's a dream to look at and a nightmare to read. Enjoy the visuals, folks, and ignore the wackiness of the Godfall storyline.
