Superman #39 is the epilogue to Geoff Johns’ run and you have to go in thinking about that. There aren’t any grand moment or big twists. This is a small-scaled story about a powerless Superman’s day. Though, this issue strives because of Johns’ powerful understanding of the Man of Steel and the love he shows for the character. If you’re a fan of Superman, this is an issue that you must read. It has so much about the character that I love in one of the best moments I have ever read from a Superman comic. Goodbye Geoff Johns, I’m going to miss you. Read Full Review

Who knew that to show the fans what makes Superman truly a hero was to make him a mortal for the day. Johns ends his terrific run with a great character piece back up with terrific art by Romita, Jensen, and Hi-Fi. With massive changes to be seen post Convergence, it will be interesting to see what will happen next to Superman. Read Full Review

Anyways, stories like this are few and far between these days, a rest issue showcasing the character of Superman. While old timers like me remember this selfless Superman who emphasized the Clark within him, we haven't seen this too much recently. Of course, I loved it. This issue was the highlight of Johns' brief run for me. Read Full Review

I'm still not convinced that Clark should be going around revealing his identity like that - but if you can't trust your best friend, who can you trust? Read Full Review

Geoff Johns' final issue on the series is a well written analyzation of what makes Superman Superman Read Full Review

"Superman" #39 is a fantastic close to this chapter of Superman's life. Geoff Johns has taken the Man of Tomorrow and distilled him to the parts that make him great. Though Romita Jr. and Janson are sticking around to maintain visual consistency, Romita Jr.'s next issue and post-"Convergence" stories do have some large shoes to fill. If they approach it the same way Superman approaches his humanity -- with confidence and humble curiosity -- then the Man of Tomorrow will be in great hands. Read Full Review

Superman #39 is a fit companion piece to Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder's marvelous Action Comics #40; they're two books that take a necessary (and refreshing) detour in order to explore the many facets to the Man of Steel. Mark this month for the history books, kids: March 2015 was a great time to be a Superman fan. (Quite possibly the best in years.) Let's just hope that the creative Super-teams of the future " whoever they may be - always remember this essential truth: Epics and sagas are always welcome, but it is vital that they bring our hero down to Earth, even if it's only for a moment.

This issue is the aftermath of Johns' "The Men of Tomorrow" arc. While that arc was less than stellar on its own, if this issue did anything, it proved that Geoff Johns understands Superman. This is some of Johns' finest writing for Superman in the New 52. The dialog was very good, feeling natural and fluid. It was an issue entirely devoted to Superman's character and it hit all the right notes. He showed compassion and a desire to protect people, even when he isn't faster than a speeding bullet. By the end of it, I was saying, "Yes, this is Superman." Read Full Review

This is the end of the storyline, so those who have been reading it have no reason not to. This was a well-crafted narrative with excellent imagery that captures the essence of the Kryptonian. Id recommend picking up the single issues to jump on this, but waiting for the trade isnt a bad option either. Read Full Review

Superman losing his powers isn't anything new, but Superman #39 shows us a Kal-El that has rarely looked more human. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, this isn't Romita's strongest issue. His pencils (as well as Klaus Janson's inks) seem a bit looser and blockier, which hinders the scenes that hinge on dialogue and facial work (i.e. - most of the book). The general storytelling is as fluid as ever, but the execution isn't quite there. I'm looking forward to the Convergence hiatus giving Romita a bit more breathing room and allowing him to come back strong with the book's new writer. Read Full Review

As far as interludes go, Superman #39 is a pretty good one. We've got lasting changes to the lead character, a neat new dynamic for writers to play upon, and most importantly, you inject some much-needed humanity to an invincible alien powerhouse with an Arctic bachelor pad who happens to be hooking up with the beautiful demi-goddess of war. Sometimes you need to walk among human beings to remind yourself of what you have in common with them. And in this instance, a day of being grounded might not be such a bad thing for Superman after all. Read Full Review

This was a nice little issue that shows everyone that even without powers, Superman is still a hero. Sure, it's not earth shattering or even that original, but it was a nice diversion.  Unfortunately, that kind of spells out what Geoff Johns' run on this book was as well.  Instead of epic, we got nice.

Great issue.

The story was great and although the synopsis made it out to feel like it would tackle cliche ground, the issue was pretty good writting quality-wise.

But JRJR's art, was at its weakest here. Rushed, disproposionate and the faces needed work in many panels.

Anyway the quality of the story overwhelmed the weakness of the art.

A great story that really gets to the heart of Superman... but JRJR's art makes it a rough ride.

24 hours powerless with Jimmy. Not great, not terrible.

Fun story by art was super-weak.
