Worth Re-Collecting?

This was never my favorite issue of the four new Supermen and it still isn’t. It’s an introductory issue for the character and I don’t feel like we learn an awful lot about the Cyborg compared to Steel or Superboy. He shows up tosses Doomsday, confronts Lois and gets tested, that’s it.

I did like how the Superman was slowly revealed. He was shadowed for the first half of the issue created suspense, what we see looks like the Superman we know. This would have been better if he hadn’t been revealed in the final pages of Adventures of Superman #500 and the cover of this very issue!

The tossing of Doomsday into space reminds me of the Superman films and the Phantom Zone where Jor-El hurls Zod and his cronies into space but the way that the Cyborg Superman acts is straight of the "The Terminator." He acts with robotic, with a singular mission and will battle through anything to get it just like the T-800 in the search for Sarah Connor.
