Reading another Bizarro story after All Star Superman # 8 convinces me that Bizarro is simply a lame character. I’m tired of trying to figure out when he means what he says and when he means the opposite. I’m also tired of a character who can’t decide if he is simply a contrast to Superman or if he’s some kind of anti-matter-esque opposite.

The only salvation for any of these issues was Eric Powell’s art. I’d love to see Powell getting more mainstream work. It would help, though, if the stories were better than this arc.
