Under Johns and Romita Jr., Superman has been an impressive title. Johns is playing to his strengths in this series by expanding Superman’s mythologies and creating a complex rivalry between two men who are truly friends. This issue particularly plays to the strength of the creative team, exploring contrasting philosophies and depicting a new world’s architecture. As a result, we’re presented with the team’s best issue yet. This is a Superman title that should not be missed! Read Full Review
Give credit to writer Geoff Johns and artists John Romita, Jr. and Klaus Janson - they've devised a suitably oversized story to kick off their run on Superman. Read Full Review
A gripping cliffhanger doesn't quite make up for a fairly predictable plot, but it helps. Read Full Review
It's impossible not to admire all the intricate details that go into depicting the Great World and its strange cityscapes. And when everything begins going to hell? Even better. Romita's art helps offset the growing story problems. Read Full Review
I will admit that the contrast of Ulysses to Superman, with all the similarities and differences, is very interesting. Ulysses is the Superman story gone wrong. I think it is this comparison that is the backbone of the story. And that is saving this story. I miss the Daily Planet crew. We don't see the 'father' watching Superman. And despite the plot progression, the whole issue reads very fast with the splash pages and huge panels. I wonder if this would read better in trade form? Read Full Review
The Men of Tomorrow story continues to be underwhelming. Geoff Johns gives us some answers this issue, but they are predictable at best. I did enjoy John Romita Jr's art, but in the end, this issue was simply mediocre. This is not the book that Johns and Romita are capable of. What a shame. Read Full Review
Superman is a comic book that long time Superman fans will probably enjoy. It's a blockbuster type story that provides situations that Superman seems to be really challenged in, which is difficult to pull off. If Johns can right the ship on the bland personality then the book might become epic. I fear the folks at DC like their Superman gritty, but it comes across as boring and unfeeling unfortunately. Big Blue deserves a little more of an emotional array. It helps to make him seem like he wants to be human. Isn't that sort of the point of the story that Johns is trying to tell? Read Full Review
Good not great
My least favorite issue of the Johns and Romita run.
