Excellent. A solid story line. Compassionate and caring Supes, but not a pushover. Clark struggling with missing Lois and Jon, and battling against gossip about his marriage.
The artwork is perfect for the tone of the story. All clear lines and bright colours.
I can't wait for the next trade paperback ( )

Well, this is marginally better than the cosmic hoo-ha in Bendis' Superman ongoing, but this take on Superman fighting organized crime is a bit of a snooze despite Bendis' fine dialogue. Mostly, I didn't find much to care about anyone amongst Supes' supporting characters or his new foes. Also, I'm not a fan of the mafia-type groups this may be revamping (The 10, The 100, The 1000, Intergang) because in the past some of them have had ties to Jack Kirby's Fourth World nonsense. I might give this one more volume in the future if I come across it in the library, but I won't be seeking it out. ( )

I've tried. I've tried so hard. But, this just isn't my Superman.

We sorta get a finish to the fires thing, but, I felt that fell totally flat. And then there's a bunch of new stuff including a new bad guy (I think) called Red Cloud.

And then there's the stuff with Lois. That felt totally and utterly off. Actually, a good portion of the TPB just didn't feel right. Perry, Jimmy, even just seeing Lex on the page, it all seemed just slightly wrong.

Will I keep reading the series. Yeah, probably, I'm eternally optimistic when it comes to books, which, sometimes isn't a good thing. But, I have loved Superman longer, so much longer than Bendis has been writing him, so, I'm gonna tough it out, see where these stories go probably.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment. ( )
