With the adversary's reveal I'm even more excited than usual for next issue. This series continues to set and exceed new boundaries. Read Full Review
Overall Superman is the book to pick up and again proving to the world why he was the superhero that started it all. Read Full Review
In conclusion, readers receive what they have come to expect from this creative team, stories that have a good plot but also have heart and this is still one of my favorite DC Rebirth books as Tomasi and Gleeson, don’t only focus just on Superman but his family. This really elevates the book in my honest opinion. Read Full Review
The "Black Dawn" story reaches an exciting climax with a dark issue that splits up the Kent family and finally reveals the big villain. Read Full Review
With the big bad revealed and more story on what the heck is going on with the townspeople this is a cram packed issue. Along with Mahnke and the art team pulling off the darker and more somber tones of this issue with precision, causing some heart-wrenching moments. This one is a must read. Read Full Review
In almost every respect, this issue was flawlessly conceived and executed, but the final product was marred by a distressing throwback to unfortunate past trends. Read Full Review
This is just a brutal, brutal book. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason have been really good at winding up readers and making the revelations of the mysteries they're weaving very impactful. Read Full Review
This reveal shows story-tellers Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason have had a long play in mind. And it kind of all clicks into place. With the super-couple moving back to Metropolis (as seen in Action Comics), I guess this is the swan song for the Hamilton locale. So why not tear up the place? Read Full Review
This story is full of breakneck action as we hurtle towards the end of the Hamilton County era of the Kent family. I have no worries that they can overcome Black, but will they do so without lasting harm? Read Full Review
The type of comic that makes me question why I didn't get into comics sooner. Read Full Review
This issue was chock full of face offs - Lois facing off with Farmer Cobb. Superman Facing off with Farmer Cobb. Jonathan facing off with his captor (spoilers there, read the issue!). And overall, it panned out pretty well. Supes did a couple things that seemed a little out of character, but I don't know how they would have moved the plot forward if he hadn't done these things. Overall, Tomasi and Gleason have done really fun things with this title since Rebirth started and it's always one of the first things I read on Wednesday. Read Full Review
While this issue certainly throws a lot at us and has some fucked up moments, I can't help but feel that it comes off a bit rushed for what we were getting previously. I mean, things have just sped up considerably now and even parts of the art feel rushed too. I'm still enjoying the story overall, but this issue just came off as the weakest installment of the arc so far, even with those fucked up moments. Read Full Review
Frankly, this story arc has been a misfire from the start, despite a few strong moments in the earlier chapters. Read Full Review
This issue didn't pull any punches. Gut-wrenching storytelling. The Super family just keep running into some shady characters. Jon is having a rough year, from almost losing his parents to Myx to the real Black behind Black Dawn, the Kents just can't catch a break...
This was such a brutal issue of Superman. I do not think I have read an issue of Superman with this much force behind the story in a very long time. I hope that everything gets resolved well, but it feels like more will happen that will hurt the family before anything begins to help them.
Wow. Good issue raising Jon for superman just got a whole lot difficult. Surprising reveal at the end and a shocking event took place to a beloved character.
Great issue. Actually makes last issue awesome. The art is mixed up though. It's on point at parts. Then rough and half-assed at others. Still, this series has become unbelievably solid.
Confusing story jumps, art that looks rushed for certain pages...not the best issue of the arc.
Artwork was really uneven.
