Sending a baby in a rocket to Earth was not Jor-El's first
idea to preserve the doomed planet Krypton... Welcome to Infinite
City, a place beyond imagination, where futuristic technology
and magic coexist, and where Superman uncovers a piece of
his true heritage. But that discovery comes at a great cost
- once you journey to Infinite City you can never go home
again. The Warden will make sure of that...
Imagine
if two drugged-to-the-eyeballs junkies were to sit down and
come up with an idea for a Superman story. The resulting trippy
experience would, I presume, be not a million miles away from
Mike Kennedy and Carlos Meglia's Infinite City.
I
can't even begin to imagine how they pitched this story to
their publisher, nor how they got the green light to run with
it. All I can say is thanks goodness that they did. Infinite
City is one of the most original and oddly entertaining
Superman stories you'll ever read.
The
pairing of Kennedy and Meglia is spot on. Meglia's warped
drawings bring out the best in Kennedy's twisted script. Add
to this the fact that this hardback edition has about the
best glossy paper stock money can buy, and you know you hold
in your hand a collection to treasure.
Kennedy's
take on the creation of Superman, not to mention what happened
to his father, is original, well conceived, and actually quite
intelligently worked through.
If
Lewis Carroll had written a Superman story it would
have been something like this - fantastic.
