SUPERMAN'S LOVED ONES ARE TRANSFORMED INTO RAVENOUS PARASITES! If Superman wants to find Parasite-Zero before its influence spreads to the whole world, he must take Lex up on his offer to work together! Even if it means using another of Superman's enemies as bait!
SUPERMAN #3is a masterclass in pacing and compressed comics writing, fitting so much in without the book feeling rushed. While rife with teases, the book never loses focus of the story it's in. Williamson continues his excellent characterization of Superman's world as Jamal Campbell only grows even stronger as a premier Superman artist. This issue asks to take a leap of faith with Clark into this new era of Superman that is both familiar and completely alien to the readership, and it's a jump worth taking. Read Full Review
This run is starting off strong and is a must-read. Superman #3 does a great job of establishing SuperCorp. By the end of it, youll be invested in the hope that Lex can turn it around, at least temporarily. Read Full Review
Superman #3 meets the high bar of its predecessors and continues to plant the seeds of what's to come in stellar fashion, and I couldn't recommend it more. Read Full Review
Superman #3 is a great ending to an amazing story. Williamson has proved that he knows how to write Superman better than anyone could have imagined. Campbell is the perfect artist for this book, and Williamson definitely knows how to write for him. This is a stellar book, a wonderful addition to DCs current Superman renaissance. Read Full Review

This is a great Superman title, and continues to be the best Luthor content we've gotten in years. Read Full Review
This opening storyline wraps up in a fun and entertaining way, making the most of comics and Superman's cast of characters. The phenomenal art is some of the best in the business, and it's fun to see it on such an important character. Read Full Review
Campbell delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. The visuals are beautifully detailed and compelling. I love the action scenes as much as I love the character moments with Clark and family. Read Full Review
Superman #3 wraps up the night of the Parasites story arc with a satisfying conclusion that lets each of the main characters play some role in it. It's got action, heart, and some bits of humor for everyone to enjoy, even the plan to stop the Parasites allows for Parasite to join in on the fun in his own way. The comic concludes the story with some slow yet steady progression with the Superman and Lex Luthor storyline while neatly setting things up for the next story arc for Superman fans to get excited for.

Superman #3 concludes the Parasite crisis story in a way that gets you invested in the future that Joshua Williamson and Jamal Campbell have planned for the series. This is definitely one of the premier titles for DC Comics that fans should be reading. Read Full Review
I hope we get some background about why they hate Lex. And how they are able to do what they are doing. But color me intrigued. I can't wait to see Campbell's take on Banshee. Another solid issue laying down more of that foundation while pushing things forward. Love the Lois moments! Read Full Review
Though not as strong as the previous issues, this arc-closer still packs a punch that inspires much faith in the series' future. The Man of Steel is in more than capable hands. Read Full Review
While I think things could be slowed down a bit more and some time spent on the quieter moments and some of the creepier moments of what was going on with all the Parasites, the story moves at a quick clip and gets things done. Some of it feels like it's just glossing over elements to get to the intend point and it's lightly frustrating because I still have “distorted” memories of comics from decades ago where there'd be more panels, more dialogue, and more non-powered/action material. We do get some time with Clark and Lois and the family but it was just a background piece overall and not enough to really drive home the who of them and the dynamics. I'm hopeful things get more time to breathe now that we're past the first arc and the relationship with Luthor and Supercorp is established because the book needs just a bit more humanity to it.

Superman #3 delivers big action, stellar art, and a clever resolution to resolve Parasite's viral swarm. The pacing, dialog, and plot are top-notch, but an important-yet-unexplained plot point sullies the satisfaction level. Read Full Review
This is shaping up to be a great run, with fantastic art and a charming narrative. Williamson’s Lex Luthor has been interesting, and the teases we get have me excited for more!
I’m starting to think this is the best book DC has going. Topping even World’s Finest.
The story is fun. The art is great. The characters act like they should. Even the humor/charm is jussssssssst right. Not the winking and nodding ad nauseam like a Marvel movie.
Was the resolution a bit simplistic? Yes. But with that, we got a cool alt suit for Superman and he gave Lex a signal watch.
Marvel, when you wake up and realize you need to course-correct your line, this book should be a great lesson of how to do it right.
Fun read with a good ending and some nice action to boot. It’s good to have Lex being Lex and Supes being Supes.
It's rare for Superman to solve a challenge in just 3 issues anymore. That's actually refreshing. I'd say Williamson has more in mind than to spend 6-8 issues on just an army of parasites. but that's good, because shorter stories don't wear out in interest like the typical half-a=year long ones we usually get anymore. And though the Parasite problem was resolved rather suddenly, the only downside to the whole issue was having to endure Lois calling Clark "Smallville" not once, but twice. Why do writers think a nickname meant only to be a smug insult makes a cute pet name? Because it doesn't.
Oh, well, on to the main point. The signal watch. Now either Superman has a) Totally lost his mind, because his own previous experience has prove more
Let's get this out of the way now before I mention it later on. Campbell's art is once again wonderful in this issue and it continues to be one of this book's strongest aspects. As for Williamson's story, I did think this ending was on the quicker side, but I still enjoyed it. Clark finally agreeing to Lex's Supercorp idea was always going to happen, but I am interested to see where it goes. All in all, this continues to be a nicely-put-together book that maintains my intrigue going into the next issue.

The art continues to jump off the page in traditional Superman style. He outsmarts the villain using another villain and has a romantic interlude with Lois. Supes even gives a watch to Luthor. What's not to like? Let's see where the new arc takes us.
a pretty good issue with good art, action, and characters.
Incredible art, but weird pacing
While the plots may be going a *tad* too fast for my taste (it certainly takes away from the tension a bit) the interactions between Lex and Clark are amazing.
A fun, harmless issue
I enjoyed the vibes but it kidna felt liek the writer just wanted to get rid of this story.
So uh, this kind of completely deflated all of sudden. The characrer work is strong but the resolution to the plot too rushed adn Deus Ex Machina-ish.
wow, this was weird. The two previous issues were quite good, but this one has been disappointing. I was surprised when I went from one page to another and the problem had already been solved, I know it's the starting arc to lay the foundations, but it really seems that there was hardly any plot or villain, it's as if this issue and the previous one were missing two others. strange
The art is awesome but the writing and story just feel bland.
