This issue now features "FEAR ITSELF" part one! The writing team of Tomasi and Gleason are joined by co-writer Keith Champagne in a story that returns to their Green Lantern roots and asks the question "What scares Superman?"
Missing children lead to a cosmic threat that could tear the Man of Steel apart. A smart story that goes galactic accompanied by finely detailed visuals. This title continues to be worthy of the adjective super. Recommended! Read Full Review
There's a fun surprise on the last page that has me strongly anticipating the next issue. Superman is back to being exciting again. All is right in the DC Rebirth universe. Read Full Review
Superman #29 hits all the right notes and delivers an enjoyable issue of Superman vs Parallax. I'm really eager to see how this story pans out, especially a Parallax possessed Superman! Read Full Review
Superman #29 is a bit of a slow burn which builds up towards a nice cliffhanger for the next issue. Seeing the Man of Steel deal with Parallax was a lot of fun and combined with the wonderful Doug Mahnke artwork made for a thoroughly enjoyable issue. Nine out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review
Keith Champagne comes on to the book seamlessly, showing a compassionate and earnest Superman just trying as hard as he can to get some children home. Compile that with a creepy and intriguing plot involving one of the most powerful entities of the the DCU, and we've got ourselves the balance of heart and spectacle that Superman is best at.

Superman continues to be a very strong book in the Rebirth line, together with Batman, and shout out to Metal, Snyder and Capullo are back, so for a trinity of books to purchase this week from DC, I would go with those three! Read Full Review
A suspenseful and exciting issue of a fine series. Even though Tomasi and Gleason have taken a break from the writing chores, Keith Champagne does a fine job of keeping up the high standard they have set for one of DC's best titles. Read Full Review
In this issue, Superman investigates the disappearance of dozens of children and discovers two villains. Read Full Review
Champagne's characterization of Superman hits all the right notes based on what Tomasi and Gleason have given us over the past year, but from an artistic standpoint, Superman #29 doesn't soar quite as high as past issues that have featured Doug Mahnke on pencils. Read Full Review
So far, though, this two issue arc freaking rocks. Read Full Review
While searching for the missing children Clark name drops Jess and Simon but the green lanterns turn out to be super relevant to this issue. Read Full Review
Should Superman be a Yellow Lantern? Nah. Should his body be a receptacle for a fear demon (even if willingly offered)? Probably not. Was this a good little superhero story? Sure. Was the art great? Definitely. Besides, I think I am going to like seeing Superman and Sinestro team-up. What a DCCP that would have made. Read Full Review
A good horror type tale about fear and courage that ends in an, "okay now what?" sort of way. Read Full Review
While the art in this issue is great, I have to say that the story was pretty thin to get us to our pretty sweet cliffhanger. Yeah, we don't know why anything in this arc is going on yet in this issue and it throws a Superman power at you that doesn't really make sense and comes off a bit silly, but the cliffhanger has my interest peaked and like I said, the art was great in this issue.
