Super job on the cover, Roy! I like the use of shadow on Dark Superman's face and the overall color palette. Awesome!

This story is heating up! Superman really took a beating from, well, himself, right?
Charlie is building an interesting Kryptonian mythology, reminiscent of the old headband-days (my personal favorite version of Krypton), and this new Black Zero concept is very cool!
After reading this, I found myself thinking: what if Krypton had been saved, and millions of yellow-sun powered supermen and -women were at large in the universe; no doubt, some of them would turn to villainy... would Oa go to war against them? This of course prompted a question: who would win in a fight between an empowered Kryptonian and a GL? In most circumstances, I would say the Kryptonian, but I guess it would depend on the will power of the GL, huh? Imagine a Daxamite or a Coluan with a power ring!
The interaction with Lois on the roof was a neat twist--- it's been a long time since we've seen those two as "buddies"!
Looking forward to the next issue!

Thanks for the kudos. I did have an assist on this cover from our illustrious art editor. I'm still working out the intricacies of Photoshop. Coming up with a good cover is easy when the story rocks! The downside is it's hard to pick a favorite scene.... |

Thanks for taking the time to do this one, gold! |

It's not about power on its own, Dave... It's about WILL power. Just because they have super powers doesn't mean they have stronger will power. In my opinion that is... |

I seem to remember a Jim Starlin story where superman and GL went at it in deep space, and GL willed up a big ole hunk of kryptonite *though I don't see how that would work cause he would have to know how to build it form the atoms up for it to work* anyway- Supes managed to defeat him by finding the one thing yellow....the "S" on the back of his cape! Anyways I digress...so sometimes having the will doesn't have the way... |

Another great story Chuck! I agree that the scene between Lois & Supes was great. It has indeed been a long time since they've been just friends. It was refreshing! I really feel for Jar... he seems to have his ass handed to him on a regular basis! Also, great way to incorporate Oan history into Kryptonian mythos... I was bracing myself for continuity issues & found not a one! Bravo!
Now onto the Superman vs. GL debate... I honestly don't know who would win in a fight... I do think the outcome would depend on the Lantern in question & his experience level. For example: Supes vs. Arisia, a no-brainer, Supes would be the victor... Supes vs. Kilowog, I believe the outcome would be much different. Then again, it could go differently if, say, Arisia had the molecular knowledge of Kryptonite & could create it...
So, long story short, it depends on the Lantern! In the DC2 Universe, if Hal & Supes got into a fight, Supes would win hands down. Hal would rush into the thick of it without thinking. But... Hal just did get his ring... a little more experience & that could turn the table!

I like the bad guy and the small but satisfying hints to the Clark/Lois relationship. Good psychosis and I like that he has visions of his parents to help raise his spirits but you guys did that last saga. Let's not fall into a rut guys. ;D

Did no one pick up a cameo role by a mysterious someone in this issue? If not, forget I said anything...
