"the changes that have occurred on Earth during his absence" are nil, because he was only gone a few minutes Earth-time.
After Superman is called away on a routine Justice League mission, Lois Lane awakens to find a complete stranger standing in her living room. The Man of Steel, home much sooner than expected, reveals he has, in fact, been lost in space for 20 years. Nothing and no one seem familiar to him anymore, and the timeless bond between them has been severed...or has it? Can love conquer all? Superman’s 85th anniversary celebration continues with this allnew blockbuster 10-issue series from the creators of the Eisner-nominated Deathstroke series!
Priest, Pagulayan, Paz, and Cox unite as a tremendous force, crafting a beautiful story that tests Lois and Clark's relationship while showing fans how wild their world can be. A Superman shaken to his core and estranged from his wife seems to be a welcoming story for the Man of Tomorrow. Read Full Review

Final ThoughtsSuperman: Lost #1 sets up Supermans crisis situation that will be the focus of this mini-series and even shows a bit of the after effects on him also.

A strong start to the mini-series that establishes the story and draws us in with its mysteries. Read Full Review
Superman: Lost #1 delivers a super-simple but a granite-solid setup for a Superman adventure that pulls him out of time and space for years without anyone realizing it. The plot is clear, concise, and to the point, and the art is equally good. You'd be right to complain about the excessive cover price for a standard-sized comic, but the story (so far) is worth your money. Read Full Review
While the story will focus most on Superman & Lois, there's a sense that Priest will be putting his stamp on many characters. With this issue as a taste, I can't wait for the whole meal over the next nine months. Read Full Review
While the first issue is oriented toward laying out the premise, characters, and various sub-plots, it clearly invokes the rich thematic work that made Deathstroke a stand out series for years. Read Full Review
Superman Lost #1 is an oddity of a debut. The concept of the comic is great. The idea of Superman thinking he's been gone for decades and returning home to find things hasn't changed is a solid idea. But, the characters feel really off. It's like they've been replaced with body doubles. The only one that feels right is Lois. Maybe there's an explanation for all of that but as a beginning, it's a bit of a headscratcher. Read Full Review
A gorgeous issue that doesn't give us much to sink our teeth into. I'm hoping next issue gets moving. Read Full Review
I'm a sucker for a good Superman story. This seems like another win.
Absolutely breath taking. This is an absolute must read. I'm a Superman fan and Priest's story is amazing. To take the humanity and bring it out of Clark/Kal-El is amazing. I can't wait for the next issue
The debut issue of Superman: Lost effectively establishes the groundwork for a narrative that delves into the humanity of the Man of Steel, in a manner that is sure to captivate readers. The central premise of Superman being stranded away from everything he held dear for a period of 20 years, while only a day has passed on Earth, is compelling and thought-provoking, and serves as an engaging hook for the story.
The prospect of exploring how Superman copes with the challenges of being cut off from the everything he knows and loves, as well as the changes that have occurred on Earth during his absence, is an intriguing aspect of this story, and one that is sure to captivate readers.
Overall, the debut issue of Superman: more
I stopped reading comics three years ago. Today i gave Supes another go and i have to say it's a pretty great 1st issue.
This is a great set up issue. Twenty years gone is a lot of time to tell a story and with this being a ten issue mini hopefully the story of where/when Clark has been will be entertaining enough to keep us interested. If this first issue is any indication of the kind of story telling we will get during that long haul then I'm on board.
Decent 1st issue. Art was good, story was interesting. No lecturing or pandering. Over all an enjoyable read.
I'll be completely honest, this was kind of boring. Maybe next issue will be one worth reading.
