Superman/Wonder Woman: Power Couple Review


Finished reading Superman/Wonder Woman: Power Couple, this follows Superman and Wonder Woman as they take on new challenges as a couple. The book opens up with Superman and Wonder Woman above the Atlantic Ocean as they try to help people in the area of a natural disaster only for it to turn out to have been caused by Doomsday. With Wonder Woman reassuring Superman that he's not alone in any conflict like Doomsday, the two of them go to Wonder Woman's blacksmith Hephaestus for help only for Apollo the sun god to start a fight with Superman causing him to over power thanks to a sun blast from Apollo, leading to Superman to sit on the dark side of the moon until he calms down as Batman gives him a pep talk. Meanwhile Zod appears out of a Phantom Zone portal in the Sahara desert where he is taken to the Fortress of Solitude so Superman can interrogate him, only for Zod to gain access to the Phantom Zone controller to bring Faora out in order to conquer the planet. Overall this was a great book it made the relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman relatable to any other relationship as they deal with common obstacles any couple faces just with them in the form of gods and super villains, while the fights against Zod and Faora are brief they take the story in to a different direction. 8.5/10.
