RATED T
I am anticipating a massive brawl at some point during this arc, all the Supermen fighting who ever this flame-headed villain is. And that is going to be too fantastic. So kudos to Tomasi and Gleason for this arc. I am kind of giddy with it. Read Full Review
At this point, I think it is safe to say you should be excited every time a Tomasi and Gleason Superman issue comes out because they will never let you down. Superman #15 is awesome and so much fun. The art really compliments the story and is executed flawlessly. This title is away from the Clark and Jon story that I loved from the start of the title but I have no problems with that since the Multiplicity story is highly enjoyable to read. Read Full Review
This was another strong issue, however I would say that it was a dip from last issue, but to be honest with you that is expected in the middle of an arc, and this got us hyped up definitely for the next issue. The art is some of the best we have seen in this series and is so reminiscent of Ivan Reis’s style in Multiversity. Read Full Review
Superman #15 continues the intriguing exploration of the multiverse Grant Morrison explored in Multiversity in all the right ways. It's not overly convoluted, it moves at a fast clip, and it relishes in the eclectic look and feel of multiverse heroes. Read Full Review
Grant Morrison tends to be a tough act to follow in any situation, but Pete Tomasi has never been shy about picking up Morrison's loose threads and running with them. And so far, "Multiplicity" is shaping up to be every bit the worthy sequel to Multiversity that "Robin Rises" was to Morrison's Batman saga. Read Full Review
As a fan of multiple Earth stories and as a fan of Superman, this storyline is pushing all the right buttons for me. I can't wait to see what happens next. Read Full Review
The artistry also shines as well " the team of artists that worked on issue 15 (Clay Mann,Ed Benes,Jorge Jimenez,Ryan Sook) do the job of going through the transitions of battle in the first few frames and showing little nuances as our heroes go through some of the Earth realms to make them different. The end of the comic has a classic, epic "one shot" that embodies what the Superman character is and what they would want him to be. With the conclusion of the "Multiplicity" story line on the horizon, we have a good jumping point through this enjoyable Superman Rebirth run. Read Full Review
Superman #15 is yet another example of how well DC, and this creative team in particular, is handling the character right now. After the last lacklustre few years, it finally feels like Superman is connecting with readers and going on the kinds of adventures worthy of his iconic stature. This issue, despite its cosmically high stakes and serious tone, feels like an adventure that we can have fun reading, with a hero at the center that lives up to the name Superman. Read Full Review
Even though this issue fails to meet the high standards of the series, there's some fun ideas here. Gleeson and Tomasi occasionally are too ambitious, but I'd much rather them overshoot than continually play it safe with Superman. Read Full Review
Superman #15 is the ultimate fan service, featuring the best of the Multiverse in one book. Read Full Review
Superman #15 is a strong second chapter to Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's "Multiplicity" story arc. While the choice to have multiple artists work on this issue leaves something to be desired this chapter still delivered the impact it needed to. There is hardly a wasted moment in the story, which allows it to execute moments that we usually see in big blockbuster event comic books. With the threat of Prophecy clear and our Superman gathering so many fan favorite versions of himself "Multiplicity" has quickly turned into a must have comic for DC Comics fans. Read Full Review
The authors are aiming high in this ambitious arc, and, so far, they are maintaining the high quality of the source material they are extending. Read Full Review
Not the most complex story, but it's nice to see someone actually pick up where Grant Morrison leaves off. Read Full Review
While I was all hyped for this issue from what we got previously, I couldn't help but be disappointed by all these strange things just being thrown at us without much of an explanation, while we took too much time catching people up on who the Justice Incarnate are and gathering the Supermen, which appears to come off pointless for what we ultimately got. The art was half decent, but it didn't all jive well together for me and at this point, I just hope that the next issue brings everything together because I'm not really digging what we got from this. Read Full Review
I honestly don't know how I feel about this arc. It's really interesting and fun, it also feels very out there. The art is fantastic. I love how much the style changes with each Earth. The quirkiness of different Justice Leagues, you really get a sense of diving into the artists imagination and abilities. Maybe it seems off to me because it is so far off in continuity with the other Rebirth titles. It's its own funky little thing. Read Full Review
Multiverse Supermen has been something I have thoroughly enjoyed so far, with the mystery behind our Superman being something I want to more fully explore. I like the theory that our Superman is one-half of the whole Superman that will eventually be explored in later issues.
I never got into Multiversity for various reasons. For that reason, this arc is interesting to see the Earths that, that established into canon and confirmation that our world's current Superman is now aware of this expanded reality. Plus, the combined art efforts worked well. Unfortunately, the introduction to interaction of all the Superman was at too rushed a pace to be that engaging or entertaining. Plus, we don't get any update on poor Captain Carrot (as promised by the cover). :(
SCORE: 7.4
After a strong introduction, this issue is a disappointment. Not much happens between the explanations of what's going on and the presentations of the differents Earths, but the mix of Superman Rebirth and The Multiversity is really enjoyable. Regarding the art, I didn't love the multiplicity of artists (pun intended) because it felt it was due to a time constraint rather than an artistic process. Still, every artist provides a very solid work.
this arc had lots of promise, but feels like its just being rushed along.
oh well!!! at least it wasn't turned into an unnecessarily over-bloated multi-title cross-over event.
More fluff. I've played "spot the analogue" so many times in so many different comics that this just wasn't that interesting. Too bad the plot appears to be extremely shallow.
