"Superman black" part two! A "Superman Reborn Aftermath" tie-in! The Man of Steel is challenged to break his code against killing in front of his son as the mystery surrounding Hamilton deepens.
RATED T
The story progresses steadily, but the plot details are neither slighted nor forced, and the artwork is exceptional. Apart from Lois Lane's consignment to a limited role, this issue was pretty close to perfect. Read Full Review
In conclusion, this issue is a great issue in a long line of great issues. There is still a lot of the mystery aspect that I have left out, so you can pick it up. If you are someone who is not necessarily a Superman fan, this series will definitely make you into one. I would recommend starting all the way from the first issue and catching up, as the series really highlights the great aspects of the character of Superman. Read Full Review
The interesting reveal of the Black Dawn adversaries should make for an exciting next issue. But as always if you can only pick up a few titles this week, Superman needs to be on that list. Read Full Review
Superman was and is once again one of DCs flagship titles and yet it refuses to rest on its laurels. This book is optimistic and sincere, and is exactly the direction Superman should always be moving in. The creative team have found a balance that eluded the New 52 without having to return the Man of Steel to a completely overpowered state. The threat hiding in the shadows is real, but so is the hope, and in the end, that is why the world needs Superman. Read Full Review
Overall Superman continues it's stellar run in the Rebirth line up as the book to get. As a person that has truly never collected Superman before this run, and have read only some of the bigger Superman stories that came out, I can easily say this remains to be a most consistently great book probably out on the market right now. DC Trinity is certainly in full swing and it looks like there is no slowing down anytime soon! Read Full Review
SUPERMAN #21 brings the exact quality we expect from the SUPERMAN Rebirth series at this point and continues to drop jaws with twists and turns. Read Full Review
Superman is quickly becoming my favorite series to review. Read Full Review
Goddamn, did this series just go and tie everything together with what we got here. I mean, we got some crazy reveals, some crazy mysteries and some oh so good art all the way through. Yeah, I had an issue with the fight scene we got, but overall this was an awesome issue that gets me crazy because we have to wait to find out what happens next. Go and get some Superman because it's now becoming my go to Superman book again. Read Full Review
I definitely liked this issue a lot, a great sort of middle chapter to an arc, moving things forward and adding in some information. Read Full Review
Gleason & Tomasi reveal that Hamilton County isn't as nice as it used to be in an issue filled with fun Damian/Jon banter. Read Full Review
Despite my reservations about the Kents' encroaching departure from Hamilton County, I still have faith in the creative team to keep this book as one of the best in DC's line. Superman is always the first book I read on the weeks when there is a new issue. Read Full Review
Rock solid entertainment, this feels like an issue of Superman smooshed together with an issue of Super Sons. It never reaches the highs that either book is capable of, but it's still a ton of fun. There's some great action, fun dialogue, and an overall lightness you wouldn't expect from a story called "Black Dawn." It only occasionally feels like "super-inspiring Superman," but it constantly feels like "crazy Silver Age Superman," and I'd say that's a pretty fair trade. Read Full Review
This chapter is a little weaker in the story department, but Gleason makes up for it with his artwork. Read Full Review
Overall, this series has always been one of my favorites to come out of Rebirth. They're telling us a story about Superman and his family, what it's like to raise a super-powered family in a small American town, and how that small town reacts to a super-powered being swooping in to save the day. I'm totally excited to learn more about Jon as he comes out of his shell, develops his other powers, and is finally able to fly. I would definitely say that this book is worth your time.

Character development continues to shine in Superman #21, but the plot suffers due to an overload of content. That said, there was still enough coherent story told to still have me excited for the next issue. Read Full Review
Despite the positives, "Black Dawn" is turning into a Jon-centric affair. Is it necessary to feature Clark's son so much in this title? Read Full Review
great issue and great work by tomasi as always.
This issue starts to display Jon becoming his own person, with him separating out from his dad's shadow. I like the idea of a more mystery based Superman story and hope that it has a good surprise at the end.
I *really* am impressed with how good this issue was. From the reveals made in the last few pages (which really cannot be said without spoilers) to the continued excellent dialogue between Jon, Clark, and Damian, I am definitely looking forward to what happens next!
HOLY SH#^...Just buy superman #21 right now! It doesn't pick off from batman, but the reveals in this issue will literally make you hate waiting 2 weeks for superman #22.
Just a beautiful issue. The art, the writing, the interaction between Superman, Jon and Damien...just flawless. This series is special and should be recognized as one of the top books of the year. This issue had a great suspenseful ending and two weeks is going to seem forever to wait for what happens next.
As Always great issue, And ending literally SHOCKED me! BUY THIS, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Or better buy everything with Superman from Rebirth!
We knew that all is not as it seems in Hamilton County, but I was still surprised by the ending of this book in what is turning out to be a neat little arc. I've fallen off most of the Rebirth titles, but Superman keeps on bringing fun and enjoyable issues.
SORE: 8.6
Another excellent installment in this surprising story arc. The plot moves forward and the interactions with Damian are just extremely enjoyable. Even if some facial expressions are odd, the art is gorgeous, and it's interesting to see different inkers on Gleason's pencils. This series is so colorful and I love how Superman's costume pops out of the page.
GREAT art and a very momentous ending. I really don't want to see Cathy as a bad guy, but I have to admit, this reveal at the end is carrying my score. it's huge no matter what.
A good solid issue. I'm not going to go too far into details, pick it up, its worth it.
