The Super-book crossover H’el on Earth has been a colossal disappointment every step of the way, an opinion that has only been reinforced after I caught up on the entire event as well as every issue of each title involved. While Lex Luthor’s presence does make this chapter at least bearable, Superman’s douchey personality continues to weigh down the book. Seriously, this Superman’s behavior is so unrecognizable that you would need to go watch Zack Snyder's Man of Steel trailer to remind yourself what experiencing Superman should feel like..
Artist Kenneth Rocafort’s design of Lex’s super prison looks impressive, but aside from that the book is plagued with more than a few visual oddities that drag down the book. Awkward facial expressions that do not fit the dialogue being spoken are aplenty. You can see what Rocafort is going for with his unique paneling, but you can’t help but feel he uses too much empty space in his layouts. And Superboy has lost his teenage look and become a spritely young lad with Disney eyes all of a sudden. We have seen much better efforts from Rocafort in the past, which makes his work here all the more disappointing.
