Summary: An okay book.
Comment: Though a weak story line, the art in this book is great. Superman believes he may have found a beacon from krypton and goes off to find the planet it came from. Once he arrives on the planet he is attacked by an Alien and saved by some teenage girl. The girl explains how the aliens arrived ...Superman has some code of honor ... that prevents him from killing the aliens, even though they are wiping out the planet's inhabitants. Bad on many levels but still readable, buy it if you have some extra bucks.

Summary: Would the Alien have "superpowers"?
Comment: At first, I wasn't really certain if an "Alien vs. Superman" title would work. I pictured the "man of steel" bumbling into the standard hive situation only to tear through those poor xenon as they tried to protect their own. That seems to be the favorite in crossovers such as this, with the superheroes simply going in a "romp" those poor unfortunates without superpowers. ( Personally, if I wanted to throw my money away, I'd do something constructive like burn it.) In this case, however, the situation was hardly in Superman's favor.
From the beginning, the creators found a way to level the playing field a bit, putting Superman on an all "too human" playing field for him to simply overwhelm. In fact, he seemed to be having problems just matching up with our beloved Aliens. The situation, as it was laid out, worked for me, too, and wasn't really too far of a stretch, either. I would go into more detail, but that's what the book is for. From there, it just got worse and worse for everyone's favorite kick-around boy, leading to Superman actually getting a bit touchy-feely with one of those wonderful throat molesters.
I liked the title alot and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the Aliens (I would say the Aliens movies, but we all know that some were a bit lacking). Buy it for your kids and give them nightmares worth remembering!

Summary: Nicely done
Comment: Superman vs. Aliens? Say what? Yep, and it works well thanks to Jurgens' competent story-telling. Clark Kent and Lois Lane, as guests of Lex Corp., witness the landing of a probe seemingly of Kryptonian origin. Supes then jets off in a hyper-craft to investigate....only to discover the probe was from a civilization *similar* to Krypton's -- and has been decimated by the Alien scourge. As Supes' power wanes, he and a girl that he has encountered must find a way off the corrupted asteroid. Neat ending which should not disappoint.
