A review by czamorad
Superwoman, Volume 1: Who Killed Superwoman? by Phil Jimenez, Matt Santorelli, Steve Downer, Emanuela Lupacchino, Ray McCarthy, Joe Prado, Jeromy Cox

3.0

I really wanted to like this book more. I adore Phil Jimenez' work. Both his art and his writing skills are amazing. Yet, something went off with this story.
I did like his Lana Lang, but the storyline felt a bit all over the place, too many things going on, not enough depth on the supporting cast... There was a tension inside of Lana that never really took form and it left a sense of lacking.
As for Lois, well, I'm not spoiling anyone (not after so long, anyway), but that, THAT, made me feel tricked.
On a side note, Lana's costume was also off. That design was so poor it reminded me too much of Superman Red, when it should have had its own thing going on.
There were a lot of missed oportunities, moments of joy, even some fun here and there, but the whole thing felt contained. As if on the verge of a panic attack (which was an actual thing, but you can't have a 7-issue run build only on that).
Anyway. I'll see how the next trade goes. I still admire Phil Jimenez to no end, let's see what he comes up with next.
