Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
We’re close to the end now; 26th out of 29 chapters. While the action in Coast City (or the crater that was Coast City) Superman is heading home, which means Metropolis. We have to gather the rest of the team for the big finale in Engine City (formerly the crater that was Coast City), and since Metropolis is the next target anyway maybe it’s a good thing he does. But Man Of Steel and Supergirl are the only ones not getting to play right now. Unless you count the Eradicator, who may never play again. Superboy is playing a game he’d rather not, and the Cyborg is playing a game we wish he wasn’t.
So far I’m enjoying the build-up. The villains have made their big move (without the actual hero of the city but I digress) and now it’s time for the heroes to make theirs. I don’t expect that to happen in this chapter, but we should be getting ready soon.
