If Superman is as powerful as people claim shouldn’t he be able to end hunger, poverty and crime all over the world?
That’s just what Superman sets out to do. Easier said than done and what do the nations and rulers of the world have to say about it?
This special release lets readers see the more compassionate human side of Superman.
After a short recap of the origin of Superman the oversize graphic novel by Paul Dini and Alex Ross shows Superman performing a few ‘super’ feats.
Standing with his father at their Smallville farm Superman comes to the conclusion he can do more for humanity.
The first thing to do is to feed the hungry people around the world and then on to more problems.
Try as he might he can only do so much.
He comes to realize as powerful as he is he is only one man.
Governments and people around the world must work together to solve its problems.
When one person takes it upon themselves to solve all the world’s problems it only causes more problems. Nations rise against nations and nationalities against nationalities in a bid to gain more power and to deny others thier needs.
Until petty differences can be put aside, prejudices curtailed and power brought under control there will never be peace.
In the end Superman realizes his mistakes and although he did manage to save a number of people it takes an army of caring individuals to spread peace.
Superman Peace On Earth from DC Comics successfully tackles the premise that Superman, as powerful as he is, is no more responsible or capable than the next man to bring about peace.
John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
