DC Retroactive Superman The 80s #1

Superman is shown the future by Destiny, one of the Endless from Sandman fame. The fate of humanity is in his hands as he is shown what will transpire in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hero, Infinite Crisis, and much, much more. A fantastic twist ending that makes this a lost Crisis tale.

Then there is a reprint of a 1980 story in which Superman was first visited by Destiny. It shows that Superman is doing too much for Metropolis and is stunting that society’s culture evolution. But should that really stop him from helping?

Two brilliant tales. Who else but Marv Wolfman to craft a Crisis on Infinite Earths lost tale. It’s a shame that George Perez couldn’t do the art, but I guess he never worked on Superman in the 80s. Regardless, this is excellent stuff and a very fun read. Required reading for any DC fan!

Worth Consuming

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
