Kevin J. Anderson tends to spend a lot of time in other peoples worlds, from Dune to Star Wars. Recently he has taken a stab at the world of DC Comics. First with ‘The Last Days of Krypton‘, and now with a story about the first meeting between Superman and Batman. Anyone who knows these characters well understands that their approach to crime fighting is very different. And ‘Enemies & Allies
‘ does a pretty good job showing the opposing views of these two super heroes.
Set in a more nostalgic setting of the 1950’s, this story remains faithful to the characters as they were depicted during that era of comic books. It’s classic space ships, kryptonite, communist generals and Lex Luthor at his finest worst.
I truly enjoyed the chance to spend some time back in a classic comic book setting. The writing style is easy to read and makes this a book to spend some relaxing fun time with. This isn’t the type of book that will have you thinking to hard, but it was just too much of a childhood super hero zone out to put down. I found myself finding every free moment reading it.
If your a DC Comics super hero fan, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. I can’t wait to share this with my kids someday.
