Superman: Kryptonite is a comic written by the legendary Darwyn Cooke and drawn by the
amazing Time Sale. The story is about Superman discovering his weakness, Kryptonite. In
the newspaper they work, Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are assigned the hard
task of exposing a casino owner named Galo. In the process of doing so, they discover
there's an object that causes Superman to lose his powers. Lex Luthor also finds that out and he tries to understand how to use it, but he's unable to do so. Eventually, the
protagonists find out the truth behind Kryptonite and Galo's involvement in the whole story.
This was a very nice comic. The story was very interesting, uplifting and enjoyable.
Superman was very well written and it's clear that Darwyn Cooke truly understood the
character. It's very interesting to see the way Superman reacts to the fact that he knows now
that there's something that can actually hurt him.
Very interestingly, he likes these news, because he feels like this makes him a mortal and more human and it helps him get in touchwith his human side and connect with other people. This is probably the best part of theentire comic and it truly feels like something Superman would think, because he's an exceptionally selfless character, with a lot of love inside him for humanity. There are also some other great moments with Superman, like the one when he is heroically saving people from an erupting volcano, while Lois is waiting for him to come to their date. Another positiveaspect of the comic is the very unique way it shows the duplicity of people.
Unfortunately, the comic also has some negative aspects. One of the most obvious and
annoying ones is the dialogues, which are very badly written and feel unrealistic. Something
else that bothered me in this comic is Lois; character, which is written in a very bad, annoying and unrealistic way.
The artwork by Tim Sale is good, but it's not as good as in some of his previous works, like "Batman: The Long Halloween"; and "Superman for all Seasons". His Superman feels very
different and all the characters just don't look as good. His style is still great and it's clear
that he's a talented artist, with good storytelling skills, but it just isn't as good as in some of
his other works.
Overall, this was a flawed, but good comic. It might seem childish at times, but it actually has some mature content, like suicides and while it's not something special, it's a short, easy and fun read.
8/10
