Hahaha don't fool yourself, you just got used to it.
A cosmic-level threat has come to Metropolis! Synmar has traveled across the galaxy to unleash hell on Superman-and our hero must learn that this creature is so alien that he will have to reinvent how he’s going to fight! To that end, Superman goes to the source to learn where this new nemesis came from, only to find himself in a corner of the galaxy he’s never seen before, way off the map-and he may find the return journey even harder than getting there in the first place!
Featuring an appearance by the Justice League and a new foe unlike anything the Man of Steel has ever faced, this epic slugfest is brought to you by Brian Micha more
This was a somewhat interesting Superman story, with a fairly unique villain. I am also intrigued by the significance of Lois' book, even though I suspect that it might prove anticlimactic. Bendis' stories have been somewhat hit-or-miss, but Superman #27 has proven to be one of the better issues of his run. Read Full Review
Superman #27 came out this week and was another example of why I will be missing Brian Michael Bendis when he is off the super-titles. Throughout his run, we have seen Superman as a symbol of hope and goodness and this issue is a perfect example of that. You want to root for this Superman. You want to be this Superman.

While the pacing of this run could be off at times, I do think Bendis has a good grasp of Superman's character, and we should be headed for a satisfying finale. Read Full Review
Superman #27 is a great Superman story, highlighting exactly who he is as a hero and person- a man who strives to defend and understand, wanting to end fights with diplomacy as much as with violence. Bendis nails this perfectly throughout the issue and paces the whole thing wonderfully. He strikes a delicate balancing act, and hes at his most Claremont-ian in this issue- using caption boxes to describe whats going on in Supermans head while also giving readers great action set pieces. Reiss pencils make sure those set pieces look great. Superman #27 is another example of just how good Bendis has gotten with the Man of Steel. Read Full Review
This is a pretty good Superman comic. One that balances action and character development in a meaningful way. The only issue is it is coming 1/2 way through a poorly paced arc. In many ways this could have and should have been issue #1. Regardless, this is one of the better Brian Michael Bendis Superman comics to date, and it looks beautiful with Ivan Reis on art duties.

Superman #27 is, as usual, a very fun read. While I think the story is being stretched in weird places and not given enough room to breathe in others, it's hard to hate something that's page after page of fantastic art and dialogue. The characterizations sing and are the main draw for the issue. I've had a blast with this run, and I'm sad to see it come to a close with the next issue. Read Full Review
Superman gets overwhelmed by an unknown enemy. Naturally, it goes badly. Read Full Review
Ivan Reis' art is amazing. There is a vibrancy and energy to the imagery and all of the details throughout are beautifully done. Read Full Review
A solid issue, although I feel like leaving the readers in the dark as to Superman's "crime" against the alien is a bit unnecessary and is dragging a bit too much. Read Full Review
Superman remains an inconsistent title based on Bendis passing fancy with subplots and characters. This arc hasnt changed anything and its become more of a countdown until a new writer comes on board. Read Full Review
The art continues to be amazing in this book which I'm thankful for because the story and character depictions continue to be lacking in a big way. If you were wondering if Superman was a good guy, then look no further than this issue because he'll make sure to tell you over and over again how good he is, but we hardly move the story further than we were in the last issue, while also making Superman look like a reckless fool.

Overall, this comic is pretty thin. Most of Bendis's run has been thin. Read Full Review
Terrific balance of action while showing the character aspect of Superman as he tries to resolve everything without violence if possible yet struggles to communicate. Bendis does a fantastic job with the dialogue really bringing the character to life. This is a joy to both read and look at as the writing and artwork are both fantastic! This arc has been great and I can’t wait to get the next issue
Everything Bendis does is vastly overwritten. It’s his biggest issue for me.
Another poor issue as only Bendis can write. But as usual, it's better than the crap he writes in Action Comics. Synmar is somewhat interesting, but not enough to make me a fan. Thank God Bendis is going or he'd likely turn this into another overused outdone opponent like he did with Rogol Zor. As usual, Ivan Reis' great artwork is one of the only things that make these issues worth getting.
This is my 5000th review. I think it's safe to say I'm a slave to this medium and that you all should pity me.
I was expecting a shit show here because it is Bendis' Superman, but to be honest, not enough bullshit dialogue happened to make me truly hate this. I'm not invested in the story or anything, don't worry, but I'm also not offended like usual. This issue is bland, certainly, but is it as annoying as previous issues? No.
How is it that Superman was facing a dude who could/would not communicate him, and still this issue had so much text?
