Superman Batman Public Enemies is the first album depicting common trials and tribulations of two extremely mocarnych superheroes. Jeph Loeb decided to join the Dark Knight with the Man of Steel and early on the first issue we get an intriguing list of heroes. As announced in the introduction – Bruce Wayne had a completely different life than Clark Kent, but both of them at any price they want to help. Developer already on the first few pages I present friendship, mutual respect, and at the same time promises to fight that no one not even expected.
The events of the comic book have been placed in difficult times for Americans. Lex Luthor is the president of the United States, and he accused Superman of Earth’s destruction plan. Towards the planet flying large asteroid, but rather a sliver of the planet Krypton, which can destroy humanity. Luthor not only accuses the hero, but also determines the price on his head one billion US dollars … As a result, every living villain, and even many superheroes, intend to stop Superman, so for the next several dozen pages we witnessed constant struggle. Loeb came in this is where a very clever idea, because it crosses at the beginning of the story in many forms, which outlines the meager information. This thought-out strategy allows new readers familiar (albeit superficially) with many important for the entire universe personami. In subsequent comics know them closer, but here you get bolus messages, which you can expand on your own (Internet!) Or getting acquainted with more stories from DC.
Unfortunately, the reader prepared at the end of the story slows sharply. Rivals lack, The Dark Knight and Man of Steel are ever closer Luthor, still asteroid heading towards Earth … Developer set to play sometimes, thrown into the next adventure superheroes, decides to strong twist feature, entrusts the entire history of a certain małolatowi. Definitely we are missing here at least two notebooks that uporządkowałyby events and slowed story. The course for the story ends at the end of the fifth part, and only at this point the reader collects thoughts, and after a moment to prepare for the next great battle. Superman finally has the opportunity to meet face to face with Lex, but without a doubt this is just the beginning … Or rather a new beginning of their relationship.
I must be noted that, although the main adventure got some time unhealthy kick and it’s hard to keep up with events, Loeb is on the cards first six notebooks could also scratch very interesting side-threads. In this considerable chaos emerge about the death of the parents of Batman, and this simple, but effective way, the founder opened a gate, which can lead to the subsequent editions of the faithful fans of Bruce. Even if you do not awaken fight with Lex (story for the simple reason is based mainly on Superman), it might intrigue him started the theme from the Dark Knight. Moreover, in Enemies Public pleasantly were presented the relationship between Superman and other superheroes – the Man of Steel has many allies, whose relations (again very shallow) know.
The Perils of Defenders of Gotham and the Last Son of Krypton were painted by Ed McGuinness , whose work is characterized by a strong, distinctive contours. This work in many ways reminiscent of contemporary animation and probably for this reason in 2009, the story went through adaptation. McGuinness is not afraid of the dark tones and thus adds to zeszytowi very dark character. The artist presents a great way each figure highlighting its strengths.
In my opinion, the work of Jeph Loeb is worth reaching for one obvious reason – the author in a very precise and creative way shows the relationship of Superman and Batman. Heroes often comment in mind events or decisions taken by a friend, and these considerations are presented on pages of colorful balloons. Creator in this way shows that although the heroes do not always support the choices made by the other party, it is because of the great respect not respond. It is interesting to present two legendary figures who in the face of great danger they can help you.
Public Enemies is a rough story, but you need to be aware that just in this situation, the problem lies in prosperity. For six notebooks get this much information about Batman, Superman, their relationships, archenemy, know many villains, the following characters here that it’s hard sometimes to keep up with the story created. Despite this, is a very good introduction announcing recognized series.
