    Superman has been on a truly stellar run for sometime now, and that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. Read Full Review

    This is one of the fastest-paced issues of the series yet, with a mile-a-minute feel that sets the stakes sky-high for this latest arcs and gives Superman several new villains to face off against. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Feb 23, 2024

    If there is one part of the issue that didn't truly click for me, it was this. Why would 'super-hero' Lex dream of this? If he knew then (which it is said he did) that regular Kryptonite can effect humans if prolonged exposure happens, why would he let himself be effected in the past (something said in this issue, a reference perhaps the to K-cancer Lex got in the Byrne era??).  And a synthetic Kryptonite cloud that can kill humans? Is that the best revenge this squad can do to Lex? Still, overall I liked this issue for it's honoring of the past while pushing this fun story forward. Fun art as well. Read Full Review

    Nerd Initiative - Ken M. Feb 20, 2024

    The return home isnt always welcome for the Man of Steel. The Lex Luthor Revenge Squad makes their final move with Williamson pacing the moves with great writing. Balden, Lokus and Maher construct energetic imagery with big reveals in the closing moments of the chapter. This is one Superman story you wont want to miss. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Feb 24, 2024

    Superman #11 sets up the penultimate end to Pharm and Graft's master plan to destroy Lex Luthor with great art, several cool moments, and interesting revelations. That said, Williamson's script rushes through a laundry list of twists, turns, and reveals to get to an end that may have caught up with Williamson sooner than he planned. Read Full Review

    This was a decent issue though one of the weaker ones of this run. That's the downside to such a strong, enjoyable stint. It's probably time for Williamson to wrap up the Luthor Revenge Squad arc and further expand this new era of Superman soon though. Read Full Review

    Superman #11 us a rush job paving the way towards The House of Braniac, a sad but rare issue in this run that sacrifices quality for the sake of speed and schedule. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler Feb 21, 2024

    Superman #11 brings the Man of Steel in conflict with the newly formed Lex Luthor Revenge Squad. Based on first impressions, this villain team needs some work. Their membership is a little lacking, and they don't seem all that menacing or formidable against Superman since their only edge is kryptonite weapons. Then there's the big reveals with Lena and Leticia Luthor in this comic. They don't hit like they could because we were just introduced to them a couple issues ago and barely got anything with them, so the reveals fall flat without proper build up and character interaction. However, the art and action were still good, and the next phase of Pharm and Graft's plan is far more interesting than the first half, so next issue should be more exciting. Read Full Review
