DC Universe: Last Sons

Based on the cover art and the back of the book, I was expecting this to be a “Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Lobo” story. Instead, it's a Lobo story with Superman and Martian Manhunter thrown in as secondary characters. The main problem with that is that Lobo's not a terribly interesting character - he started out as a parody of the “grim and gritty” character archetype I generally dislike, and somewhere along the way became one of the leading examples of that character type.

Additionally, the plot was fairly pedestrian, and didn't really offer any new insights into the characters or their world. What the book did have going for it, though, was that I went in with very low expectations, and had been counting on it being nothing more than a book to pass the time with.
