"The accent is on last-stand heroics and all-out action, but there's still room for enough sub-plot drama to keep the tension tripwire tight. A cracking good graphic blockbuster." -- Win Wiacek "An absolute epic story with an all-star cast of characters to keep you riveted to each page." -- John Yelverton "Another example of the stories from this era building on each other without necessarily making it essential that you have read the previous sagas before getting to the latest one. You can enjoy Panic in the Sky on its own but also as a piece in a larger tapestry." -- Michael Bailey "This Superman space-opera guest stars nearly every DC Universe hero from the time. The trade ties together a bunch of dangling plotlines from the early-1990s, but should be accessible to new readers. Not only is there a lot of great action and alien warfare, but this story served as something of a post-Crisis transition from Superman the "new" hero to leader of the JLA. Highly recommended.
