The writing definitely feels more comic-booky than the other Superman stories I've read, and the story beats felt very familiar, but still overall quite enjoyable. The artwork is solid, especially the panels that don't have any dialogue that punctuate a major story beat, big fan of those. My least favorite of the Supermans I've read so far, but still enjoyable!

He's back-- this is the first Superman Volume in the One Year Later reboot of Superman. It's not a full reboot. While the reader does get told the Superman origin story a couple of times there's also a lot of story that refers to what happened in the Infinite Crisis as well as during 52.

The art was okay, but what I really liked was the interaction between Lois and Clark. There never seems to be enough of pure Lois and Clark (no Superman) in the comics. I also thought that Green Lantern's offer was interesting and wish they'd gone into that subplot just a little more.

I thought it was a good collection of issues. Lots of chaos and fighting, but there was also actual story and some real seeming scenes, human scenes. Plus the pretzels made me hungry, just hold the mustard. ( )
