Finished reading Superman: Psi War. Continuing with Superman's story after the H'el on Earth event, the book opens up with Lois Lane digging into a story about twenty people who went missing during Brainiac's attack on Metropolis five years prior, leading to a powerful cliffhanger. The rest of the book picks up with Superman appearing in front of the US Senate on what had happened during the fight against H'el at the Fortress of Solitude. The story continues with Superman as Clark Kent being invited to a house party at Lois' apartment where he asks Wonder Woman to come with him as they are in a relationship which causes an awkward situation as Clark is late to the party. Superman is then thrown into a fight with the New God Orion as it is found out that Hector Hammond's psyche had been hiding within Superman's subconscious causing people around him to act strangely. Once defeated Hammond wakes up from his comma only for H.I.V.E to come after him and trying to add Hammond to their cause, only for a psychic war between Hammond and the H.I.V.E Queen to start with Superman caught helplessly in the middle. This leads to a comatose Lois Lane to discover that she has her own psychic powers and uses them to help Superman. Overall this book was a good read, seeing Superman almost defenceless brings a different way for him to overcome a psychic enemy. However the book has a slight story problem as it places the Annual's story at the beginning of the book instead of in chronological order. 7/10.
