Edition: Trade

Rating: 4 stars

Review:

Someone knows Clark Kent is Superman and they are making it known by sending various villains  after his family, friends and associates. And something that might be equally worse is that Lex Luthor also knows the secret.
 
With so many to protect, Clark was able to get a little help from Steel (John Henry Irons) and the Metropolis Police but mostly he was on his own trying to stop the villains before he could get to the one behind all of this.

But each hard won victory was only taking time away from solving this mystery and that's exactly what the person behind all this wanted. They wanted to see if the great and powerful Man of Steel would crack.

With the last plan into effect, the mysterious secret keeper set about seeing what Superman was really made of, would he live up to being a hero or succumb to rage.

I really like this story and I really like how it ended. Especially the part with Lex at the end, that was great. This showed how much of a hero that Clark is and it had absolutely nothing to do with fighting (even though there was plenty of it in this story).

This was a very good story.
