Joshua Williamson should be commended on his first year of Superman. Together, his Superman Vol. 1: Supercorp and Superman Vol. 2: The Chained are a clever one-two punch; Supercorp was good on its own, but what’s sowed there is harvested in Chained to great effect.
The first volume’s artist, Jamal Campbell, is only present for a single issue in the second. A cadre of other artists take his place, doing relatively well, though it very much gets away from them by the end — particularly in the climax, where it counts. But it shouldn’t overshadow the great work Williamson is doing — excavating favored old storylines while also building a new Metropolis mythos. I hope this keeps on for a while.
