Head over here (http://www.dccomics.com/media/excerpts/2965_x.pdf), and post your impressions on Ed Benes' art.

Not bad. I like the picture of the boat being destroyed.

Looks OK.

This cover to #218 looks like Supes had an encounter with kryptonite-laced chili.

Nice cover. Saving...

BTW, I also like the panel in which Big Blue destroys the boat.

Superman attacking a ship? What absolute crap!

He's a hero, not a frekin' tyrant. This makes me sick!

I'd be happier with the art if it didn't mean Benes was off Birds of Prey. :(

Um, did you see why he attacked the ship? He was rescuing Lois and Jimmy. I know it may seem a bit hard to tell in the pages provided, but that's what he's doing. I'm not the biggest Benes fan, but he didn't draw Superman attacking a ship for the heck of it nor did the writer write in there for the same reason.

He's definetly the best artist on a regular(=non S/B) Superman title.

Calm down my friend. Clearly, Superman was saving Lois and Jimmy. Besides, the boat wasn't completely destroyed. Had Superman really attacked the ship, he would have turned it into atoms.

Me too. It says "NO ONE tugs on my cape...Without serious consequences". And yes, it also seems that he ate some chili... :D
