(C+) 67% | Almost SatisfactoryNotes: Striking writing and art, but doesn't mean squat, contextually fraught, nearly all of the book's only fragments of plot.

Skip this collection and read Superman: Doomed instead. You're only getting about 25% of the story reading just this one collection and you're going to be really confused. I hate when DC does this.

The writing isn't horrible & the art is nice, but this is one hell of a stupid volume. I'm not blaming Soule, this is just another one of DC's event fuck-ups. Why they do this is just beyond my comprehension. This isn't a straight volume about Superman and Wonder Woman. It's Superman: Doomed, but without the rest of the issues to fill in the blanks. You need the rest of that story for this volume to make any great deal of sense.And the best part?Save yourself a few bucks and just buy Doomed, bec...

Ok, I don't really see how we got from Vol. 1 to this. I guess the other single lines for Superman and Wonder Woman played a role. I didn't really care for the last two volumes that was 5 years ahead. It connected to nothing and made little sense. I don't really care for the first one. I have decided to read some more of the Superman & Wonder Woman Volumes, but I really feel that DC has not done service to either one and they are both off character. They are not fun to read and they are simply a...

This was not up to the standards of the first volume, largely because it wasn't allowed to be its own thing. It got caught up first in the Superman as Doomsday stuff and then in Future's End. And if you haven't read any of the Doomsday or Future's End stuff, good luck in following what's going on here. Maybe if I had, I could have scraped up a modicum of interest in the Doomsday plot. But I just couldn't, and it went on and on and on. The only issue that I liked was the one that wasn't attached

This didn't flow very well. The art was generally alright for the most part. The plot didn't flow well. I feel like half of the book followed one story and the other half was another story. It probably did, but it wasn't obvious enough.Edit: I have just learned that this is a collection of issues from a handful of other comic events. Which explains why this made no sense to me.

What.The.Fuck.Was.That.Shit?Did they just recycle all of the 90s Superman story lines at once in one book that made ZERO sense? Ugh. Where did this all come from? What the shit?Don't read this, try to keep a pleasant memory of the first volume. Soule isn't impressing here at all...overrated methinks?

Allow me to preface my review with my desire for this to have been good. My desire is unmet. Charles Soule calls this one "War and Peace". Was he channeling his inner Tolstoy? Or perhaps it was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon: La Guerre et la Paix (The War and the Peace)? Or did Soule read some Suetonius' "The Twelve Ceasars", wherein he calls the Emperor Titus a master of "war and peace"? I'm going to take a stab at it and guess none of them. This should have been called "Clark and Diana catch a STD".It...

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Let me repeat that, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. This book only contains fragments of the Superman: Doomed storyline. You'll be lost reading this book. All issues of SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN collected here are also reprinted in the book SUPERMAN: DOOMED. So buy that book instead. Skip this one.

This was certainly something for sure.It took me quite a while to read but this is mainly tying to the DOOMED event as we see Superman becoming doomsday and the affect that virus is doing to him and jealousy and war and battle until Diana save him and then the mental battle and him leaving Earth and Diana searching from help from the gods and some interesting view of the planet as the kryptonite clouds are here and also Brainiac invasion and it makes for some stories and well the ultimate triump...

WOW this was HORRIBLE. Confusing, messy, boring are all the words that come to mind. So the first volume was fun, made sense, and had good dialog. Throw that all out for this shitty crossevent of Superman becoming doomsday light, and you get this damn story. Then you get a invasion, which is equally as messy, confusing, and boring. Like damn, who the fuck put this together or made it? What I liked: Uhhh the bearded clark was cool...that's it. What I didn't like: The plot made no sense. Huge chun...

My electronic reader says this was only 192 pages, not the 224 gr lists...The vast majority was already collected in Superman: Doomed, followed by two Future's End stories that make an excellent duological (!!!) finale to the whole New 52 Greek mythology super-arc that has been WW for the past 40-ish issues.

Yet again, most of a DC trade is captured in other books. Here, it's the Doomed arc, which drags in the other Super books and a whole cast of DC's finest.The only bonus comes from the Future's End additions, which I frankly found a bit of a snore. They assume a lot of knowledge that I wasn't across, and as such I found it hard to care.Soule's writing and Tony S. Daniel's superlative art make the collection worthwhile, but I suggest buying the Doomed book and skipping this entirely.

Although this book is sold under the Superman/Wonder Woman banner it would be more accurate to call it a Superman book. The bulk of the book is basically the Superman/Doomsday story line reprinted with a nod towards the romance between the two heroes. Bummer. The book is good enough as it is although it remains uneven because Superman and Wonder Woman have too few moments together - something that made the first volume so strong - and though the heroes storylines intertwine I felt this book coul...

I have no idea what I just read. A bunch of disjointed stories smushed together with some underlying theme of war.One of the reasons I started this specific series is because I thought it was outside the normal DC Comics universe, to a certain extent. Why would that be important? It's important because I just can't read DC Comics collections any longer. At least not the current series. When there is a story it's very bare-bones, basic and really simple. Most of the time there isn't an actual sto...

So yeah!!! it was pure bizarre, we get 5 straight issues of the storyline and then without any rhyme or reason we get an unrelated story and then another one without any preamble. I get it that you need to keep the story going and I have ordered the further volumes too but at least leave some notes to the effect of the changes and not leave it totally abrupt that it leave a bad taste in the mouth ugh!!So something something something and Superman killed Doom and now is infected by the doom virus...

Again, you must get past the entire premise of Superman and Wonder Woman dating. Once you do, this book showed the first glimmers of the Superman and Wonder Woman characters that we know and love since this whole "New 52" garbage started.

As a person who does not read Superman, I was horribly lost for part of this. There were some nice touches, but half the story is missing. The ending shorter stories were okay. The best being the one with the plant.

Both the art and writing on this second volume are as strong as the first, but the collection is hampered by excessive cross-overs that make it difficult to read as am ongoing narrative, since there are too many jumps and disconnected moments / scenes. A shame, because I really enjoyed the first of this series!

Dear DC Comics,People pick up trades because they want bigger, meatier stories than they can get in individual issues of comics. When you throw random issues together and call it a trade, your readers are left confused and unsatisfied. It's like throwing five incomplete puzzle sets into a box and expecting it to entertain people. I shouldn't have to pick up volumes from different series to get a complete story.Love,A fan who still has hope.
