Overall, I thought this was a very good issue, ending one era while setting up the next. I thought the battle portion was of a large enough scope to bring suspense. I thought the goodbye scenes were poignant and perfect. Read Full Review

Superman #52 is a wonderful send off for a series that had a rocky existence. Peter Tomasi writes an emotional issue that will make even the toughest readers depressed. The art is downright killer and everyone involved put in an A+ effort. This is an issue worth reading. Read Full Review

“The Great Pretender” is a good read especially if you enjoy the Trinity in action like I do. I always love seeing Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman work together and their interactions often times have their funny moments too. “The Final Days of Superman” is a good story arc to read and it involves a lot of characters that I already enjoy reading separately from the series. I'm eager to see what role this “Solar Superman” has truly and if my theory is correct! Check out Superman #52! Read Full Review

Superman #52, with stunning artwork by Mikel Janin and Miguel Sepulveda (and equally jaw-dropping colors from Janin and his Grayson colorist Jeromy Cox), is a spectacular finish to a troubled era. It's bombastic in a way that Superman hasn't been in years (it makes all of "Men of Tomorrow" seem like a strange dream, and "Truth" like a horrible nightmare). Superman #52 is a bittersweet finale issue that could have fizzled out with little fuss, but went to the bother of letting this series go out on a wonderfully heartfelt note. If DC Comics' aim is to make people want to love the Man of Tomorrow again, they're starting off on the right foot. Now. To the future. Read Full Review

Superman #52 brings “The Last Days of Superman” to an emotional close, as despite knowing how things would end prior to this tale starting, it was still a touching moment. That said, the crossover as a whole did feel two issues too long with this finale have a sudden change in tempo. Read Full Review

This story didn't deliver on the Super League premise it was originally solicited with, at least not in the context of this eight-part adventure, but on the second to last page of this issue, Tomasi, Janin, and Sepulveda give readers a knowing nod that maybe, just maybe, it actually did deliver. We'll just have to keep reading to find out how. One thing is for certain: the S-shield is still flying through the skies of the DC Universe, and, for the first time in five years, that symbol has me thinking that it (maybe, just maybe) means “hope.” Read Full Review

An effective farewell and an earned last gasp effort to save the world makes "The Final Days of Superman" worth reading. There are more questions than answers – and ultimately this is a punch fest – but it's a solid superhero comic through and through. Read Full Review

While the comic is good, it's not super. As I said, it's tame in so many ways once the price is paid. The emotional impact is just missing. I don't remember that with Superman #75. Hell, I experienced more emotion with Batman v Superman. There's sound and fury, and it all adds up to nothing to riff off a famous quote. While I'm not sure what I'd do different, this just feels like an odd end to a rather odd time in DC history. Read Full Review

The Final Days of Superman is over and while this finale didn't correct all of the problems I had with the entire arc, it ended in such an emotional way that I can almost overlook it all...almost.  While I still think pieces of the puzzle were taken out of the equation, Tomasi did his best to tie it all together and stick the landing.  I still have a ton of questions that I don't think will ever be answered (what happened to Jon's pets???), but I also have the feels and if anything, this issue and arc reminded me of how much I love Superman.  You hear that DC?!?!?  I love Superman!!!  Don't mess things up again!  Read Full Review

Let's just say that I expect many questions to be answered this June within the pages ofSuperman: Rebirth#1 andSuperman#1. I can tell you those are but a few of my must reads for June. Read Full Review

This arc began with a bang, but ends with a whimper. It's never sunk so low that I didn't enjoy reading it, but I feel like Tomasi failed to keep the promise and live up to the potential of last month's Superman #51. This final installment attempts to wrap things up, but while it makes a good try of bringing things back down to more intimate, character-driven moments, it ends up feeling like a setup for the new status quo. This Superman had to die so that DC's Superman going forward could be with Lois; and for that to happen, a Superman with an attachment to Wonder Woman would need to be removed. I really wish there was a better reason. Read Full Review

At best, "The Final Days of Superman" was always a flawed crossover. Sadly, the story's flaws overwhelm its strengths in the final chapter. Too much room is devoted to the battle with the underwhelming villain and too little to Superman's rushed (but still emotional) death scene. Mikel Janin's art is also uncharacteristically weak. This isn't exactly the sendoff the New 52 Superman deserved, but at least the stage is set for a new status quo for the franchise. Read Full Review

When I finished this issue, I was optimistic about the future of the Superman books, though disappointed in this conclusion. It feels like a coldly edited moving of pieces from A to B rather than a swansong for the character. While I don't have the emotional attachment to this version of Superman, I'm sure many do, so it feels weird to just give up and boot him off the board rather than deliver a fitting conclusion. Overall though, I'm excited for what looks to be coming next, which will hopefully rectify the Superman line and give him the title he deserves. Read Full Review

This finale will be overshadowed by the dawn of Rebirth, and this version of Superman is unlikely to be fondly remembered. The New 52 was an interesting experiment. It showed us how strong concepts like Batman can be while also showing us how easy it is to miss the mark with characters that are supposed to be constants in their universe. Tomasi and Janin try their damnedest to make this issue something memorable, but it's not enough. The reactions of the other heroes feels disingenuous. This is a Superman that didn't make a lasting impact on readers or his world of story. That's a glaring mistake, and one that I hope DC can fix moving forward. Read Full Review

Now I've read and hated the last issue of this run because it realizes everything that was wrong with the New 52 and sacrifices Superman to the alter of fan-tards to try and masks things better. Read Full Review

Superman #52 fails at almost every level to make the end of Superman's story in the this comic feel meaningful. At best, it's rushed and hollow. At worst, it's outright forced by shoving one version of a character aside to make way for another that is almost exactly the same. The circumstances, context, and timing for this narrative can't be worse. Superman is being killed off in multiple mediums, so much so that the shock value just isn't there anymore. By failing to add substance to this story, it feels like a waste. Read Full Review

Quality artwork was wasted on a story that was as doomed as its flawed hero. Read Full Review
