Are you talking about that one Darkseid War Green Lantern comic he wrote
When Pariah and his forces of the Great Darkness laid waste to the most powerful superheroes of all time, all hope was lost…with the Man of Steel suffering the same fate as that of his comrades, join us for a look at a world of dreams he would never have thought possible while alive. Where there’s life there’s hope, and with that hope comes a deeper unraveling of the tapestry of DCU’s biggest event of 2022!
If this issue is any indication, the upcoming Worlds Without a Justice League one-shots are going to be something really special. I can't wait to see what worlds Pariah has created for the other members of the League. And the Superman story is like Tom King's best stories usually are heartbreaking but also somehow uplifting at the same time. Read Full Review
Great backup to close out such a great book. Would definitely recommend grabbing this if you've been liking Dark Crisis or have liked any of the books I've mentioned. Read Full Review
If the rest of the one-shots are on this level, they may just outshine the main mini. Read Full Review
The art is by Chris Burnham, whose work I have always enjoyed. The work nudges up against that sort of beautiful/grotesque style that works well, especially in the more gruesome battle scenes. I feel like Burnham is a wonderful mix of Shawn McManus and Frank Quitely. Read Full Review
Dark Crisis: Worlds Without A Justice League #1: Superman is a fun exploration of growing pains with a Super Father raising a Super Son. We see how Clark would've reacted to Jon's years spent growing up. We see how much Clark missed by being robbed of that time with Jon. Read Full Review
Burnham delivers some impressive and entertaining visuals to the story. The art is lively, brutal and conveys emotion really well. Read Full Review
"Dark Crisis: Worlds Without A Justice League Superman" #1 pushes the Aquaman franchise forward but stumbles to characterize Superman properly. Read Full Review
Ultimately, your enjoyment of Dark Crisis: World Without a Justice League Superman #1 will be dependent on your feelings of past Tom King comics. If you like King's commentary on wartime framed through superheroes, then this comic will definitely be your speed. But if you're tired of the glorification of "just wars," instead of acknowledging that war is nothing but a repressive tool that churns through innocent lives and sullies the morals of anyone it touches, you're probably not going to like watching Jon Kent grow up to join the war effort.

Dark Crisis: World Without a Justice League Superman #1 isn't a necessary read for the Event, and I am interested to see what fans of Jon Kent feel about it. I think Tom King fans will enjoy it, but if you aren't a fan, I don't think this will change your mind. Read Full Review
Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League - Superman #1 consists of conflicting quality. Both stories are interesting to read but not what I expected from this alternate universe take. Whilst there isnt a Justice League and the tonal shifts in the book are clear, both maintain a recognisable core of characters. Read Full Review
Pretty great story, especially for those raising kids
LOLLLLLL A referendum on everything Bendis and Taylor have done to Jon Kent.
Also proof how great a Modern Age story with Silver Age sensibilities can be.
Also, also proof that Tom King can still tell an entertaining story. Guy really is all sugar or all shit.
That was so beautifully written, which is not a surprise considering most of Tom King’s work in my eyes. He writes the Superman family of characters in such a timeless and compelling way that is rarely done but when it happens, it hits hard. In addition, Chris Burnham’s distinct pencils really elevate the script. I hope this duo work together again in the future. My favourite single issue of the year thus far from an event I’m otherwise not reading.
Fantastic issue!
Pretty good, better than anything Bendis did with Superman
Loved it. I wish the regular Superman titles were more like this. Chris Burnham's cartooning is amazing.
Wow. I hope this issue brings Chris Burnham to the spotlight because he is one of the top 5 artists in the industry right now.
The backup brought this book down for me. I could feel a lot more pages left while reading my physical copy, and when I flipped to the last page and saw the transition to the aquaman story, I was pissed as hell.
Not the biggest fan of King shitting on Orion again, but I get the parallel between him and Jon (could have used Kalibak or Grayven!).
That last page hits hard, and the ["Fourteen"] sequence was one of the standouts.
Tom King's writing has really grown on me. I get that I have very different takes on characters than he does, but that doesn't mean his writing isn't more
If your a father, this comic will break your heart.
If I had a nickel every time Tom King wrote an event tie-in that ends up becoming the best part of said event, I'd have a couple of nickels.
Bit high on the teen angst side but the art and the story more than make up for it.
I love how King wasn't subtle about hating Jon's age up which to this day remains to be one of the worst decisions DC has ever made.
Superman - 9/10
Aquaman - 7/10
cute
Tom King should write Superman more. Backup was bad though
i just skipped to the aquaman part
I didn't really care for this one. I think whenever Tom King goes for the more saccharine approach, he loses me. Perhaps it's because I have no feelings, but I'm leaning towards it just being because he leaves it open for the reader to impart their own feelings into the work, and his way of inviting the reader to do that does not pull me in the way it does others.
Burnham artwork is amazing but even that cant save the story.
If you already dislike King´s writting this book isn't gonna change your mind about him and if you like any of the characters who apear in this book you'll probably end up hating King anyway. After this and Mister Miracle im wondering if the guy has some personal issues with Orion.
Didnt read the Aquaman backup so no opinion about it.
I think people are too angry about John's characterization. Though wasn't a fan of the art and the couple of dialogues here and there.
If you don't like TK, you'll feel justified even further.
How could someone miss the characters so much. Literally all three characters are completely wrong. This isn't even injustice or something like that (an else world) this is supposed to be what would have happened instead of Bendis ageing him outside world. This is absolute character assignation. DC stop giving Tom King to write these characters, he does NOT know how these characters work he just like to write some fan fiction version of characters with angst stories. He did the same with Batman and other related characters.
