  Still, that ending was like music to my ears. And it was just another step towards Superman becoming Superman again. And another step towards the end of 'Grounded'. I think it is supposed to end with Superman #714. So Roberson does it again.

That sounds like Superman. It amazes me the 180 that this arc has taken; it really is a tremendous reclamation job. I hope the trend continues ... and I can't wait to see the Lois reconciliation issue. Read Full Review

  Roberson does his best to offer good Superman adventures in spite of the limitations of the story arc he has to work with, but you still can't help feeling underwhelmed. Read Full Review
