Superman #34 is a good return to form, and it is going to be interesting to see how this story ends. It could bring upon a return of one of DC's favorite villains. The family dynamic that Tomasi and Gleason bring is as strong as ever, filling that requirement for a good Superman story as well! Read Full Review

Imperius Lex continues with the focus falling on Lois Lane's survival on Apokolips. The story is excellent and the visuals good, with Lois getting a cool, new look. This is shaping up to be one of the Man of Steel's greatest sagas. Read Full Review

A strong issue that sets up each of the characters for what's to come well. Read Full Review

Story flow complaints aside, this is the kind of fun, crazy scenario that makes Superman such a fun read. Weve seen Superman lost in Apokolips before, but with his family and arch-enemy along for the ride, it offers a fresh, unpredictable read. Read Full Review

When Jack Kirby took us to Apokolips, it always had a paradoxical feel of fun and high adventure mixed with fear and a hellish horror landscape. Tomasi and Gleason's depiction definitely lives up to that legacy. Read Full Review

The story ends with Jonathan surrounded by a group of dog-wielding armored men who threaten to capture and eat him. Jonathan easily smashes his way through the group; however, the story ends with the group of men chasing him toward the edge of a cliff. As he flies off the cliff, the villains yell, Theres nowhere to run on Apokolips. Perhaps a play on words as Jonathan was flying off the cliff? The interesting part of this exchange is that Jonathan cannot fly. Has Jonathan demonstrated a different power set on Apokolips then he did on earth? Or, is he demonstrating a permanent sign of maturity gaining the power to fly at a very opportune moment? I can hardly wait to see how this story advances Superman as Imperius, Jonathan and his new powers, and Lois as the newest member of the Female Furies. Read Full Review

Herbert deserves a permanent place on DC's A-list books, instead of the fill-in pages he got here. Read Full Review

Writers Tomasi and Gleason really capture these characters and it's so refreshing to see the definitive world of Apokolips again. Although Superman was only in a panel or two, it was great reading about Lois, Lex and Jon. Assisting with the story are artists Ed Benes, Doug Mahnke and Jack Herbert who capture these characters perfectly with excellent dynamic panels, emotions and this summer blockbuster feel.

The story is set on a massive scale, where Superman and his family " along with Lex Luthor " may well be determining the future of Apokolips itself. Superman continues to be one of DC's finest titles. Read Full Review

It will be interesting to see how Lex plans to get out of his current predicament and just what will become of Jon in the next issue. Lois will likely continue to feature predominantly as she searches for her son knowing that Clark can handle himself, and its great to finally see the Kents working as part of a team rather than just followers of Superman. This is a fantastic tale that serves to further cement the connections between Clark and his family, although it may also serve to make Lex seem a little less heroic at the same time.

This issue isn't as strong as the previous issue but Lois gets a whole bunch of moments to shine, while Tomasi and Gleason slowly progress the Superman and Jon plots. Read Full Review

While this issue of Superman is a fun read, it's fast as hell and doesn't accomplish a whole lot besides for setting up Superman, Lois and Luthor for the actual story that we want to see.  The art was fantastic, but at the end of the day, I just wanted more from this issue. Read Full Review

But for a Superman book where he only appears on 1 page, this was only mildly satisfyinga light appetizer for the main course at the end instead of providing a tasty middle to keep us full yet hungry for more. If youre going to focus on Lois for most of the book, we need more than droning exposition, trite firefights and so-so comebacks from Mrs. Superman herself. Heres hoping the ending truly fulfills us.

While the art has improved, the out of character actions of the cast drag the story and the issue down. Read Full Review

Hopefully, Superman #34 is just a filler story between greater arcs. Hopefully. Read Full Review

Building to something big.

A better Superman than the previous one. I love this Lois. We have to count with her, she aren't the damsel in distress anymore.
Jon have not much place for now. Like his father. But Luthor does have a huge place, and I love is body language close to darkseid.
