Once again, Scott Snyder continues his story arc in his comic about the Man of Steel that leaves readers eagerly anticipating the next issue. In his writing, Snyder has a gift for understanding the characters he writes about. Snyder remains faithful to the characters by incorporating the core of each character into the role each character has in the story he is telling. In three separate locations throughout the world, events transpire that makes Superman Unchained #4 an intriguing read for comic book fans. In an unknown location in Metropolis, Lex Luthor is holding Jimmy Olsen hostage. Lex's dialogue throughout the issue is an example of what makes him one of the most iconic and chilling villains in all of comics. Luthor has devised a plan that shows readers why he is such a criminal mastermind. In an unexpected turn of events, Lex reveals to his hostage who is going to take down Superman and it is going to be Jimmy Olsen. In Tokyo, Superman and Wraith form an unlikely alliance in attempting to defeat drones that are sent by the cyber terrorist group known as Ascension. Superman is wounded by the drones but the team of Wraith and Superman are able to overcome and defeat the drone attack. Wraith warns Superman again that the government will eventually order him to kill Superman. Snyder continues to emphasize the significance that Lois Lane has to the story he is writing. Snyder characterizes Lois throughout the first four issues of Superman Unchained as a heroine who is an inspiration even though she is not a superhero. After landing the plane that was targeted by Ascension, Lois attempts to do what she can to save the other characters who are injured and refuses to leave the people who need medical assistance. One character reveals to Lois he used to work for Ascension and tells her she needs to take a shard he has that resembles a piece from Superman's Fortress of Solitude. He reveals that Ascension is not what it appears to be and that she and Superman are in danger. Members of Ascension proceed to take Lois hostage. In the epilogue, it is revealed to Lois that Ascension is associated with her father, General Sam Lane. Between Lex Luthor's plan, the threat of Ascension, the future confrontation between Superman and Wraith and the motivations of General Lane, Superman, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are in their own dilemmas. Snyder and artist Jim Lee are two of the best in their respective occupations in comic books. The creative team has released one of the best comic books that is currently being released. Comic book fans who are following this title cannot wait for the release of the fifth issue of this title. Superman Unchained #4 by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee is available now.
