Batman/Superman Vol. 1: Who Are the Secret Six? by Joshua Williamson
3.0
They’ve once again rebooted Batman/Superman, but it’s still alternate universe bad guys all the way down. This was better than the previous incarnation from a few years ago, but that’s hardly saying much. The good stuff Williamson brings here is that Batman and Superman do actually trust each other, and they both lose repeatedly when their plans go south. Aside from that it doesn’t feel like there will be any real changes here. Once again the art is spectacular. It’d be nice if David Marquez weren’t wasted on these inconsequential stories. It’d be cool if Superman were really allowed to cut loose for a change. Even in Injustice he’s always holding back.
It *is* interesting how so many of these DC books over the past few years — most of them written and published well before 2020 — are all about disease. DCeased, Earth 2, Batman/Superman, Action Comics… it’s like they sensed something was coming.
