Return to Dinosaur Island, pt 2
As a recently time transported Superman and Jon find themselves staring at the wall for the story of the "losers", a soldier named Captain Storm jumps out of nowhere shooting at them. After a lengthy explanation, he explains how he made his escape and how since losing all of his old world war 2 buddies, his only goal has been to survive. Superman recaps the story of the allies vs axis powers and helps him bury his friends. Next on the agenda, helping the 2 superheros find the transporter back home. Storm mentions he thinks he knows where it is but they aren't going to like where.
Later Jon cries because of how much he misses his mother and how scared he is they might not make it home. Superman consoles him and the two of them, along with Capt Storm and Krypto go and fight the beasts that have this transponder, which they find in the eye of a gigantic gorilla and yada yada yada - transport back home. I guess with this little sweep, the return to dino island is over.
I find it a bit odd that it takes 2 people to write this book. Sometimes it's good but sometimes it's weak. That issue a few weeks back where they go to the country fair was OK for a change of pace, but these stand alone stories where Superman and Jon-El do something, save the day, and then go back home and that's the end of it - they're a little lame. I give it a 5/10 and if what appears to me to be a team writing these stories doesn't do a little bit better in the future, I think I'll cast my Superman Story addiction lot with Action Comics.
