    There's a wild twist that certainly seems intriguing. Superman is definitely on a roll these days and Williamson has helped spark a major turnaround for the Man of Steel's title. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Dec 22, 2023

    There's a fun scene where Jimmy is running the Planet. There is scene where we see The Chained recaptured. There is a lot of stuff happening here.  That was some wild ride, just what comics should be. Best of all, I am interested in all the plots here. The Lena plot is definitely the one I am following closest. Hmmm ... Read Full Review

    This book does something no Superman title has done for a very long timeit's developed an elaborate supporting cast that makes Metropolis feel fully alive, and that's enough to make it one of my favorite current books. Read Full Review

    As Williamson continues to build this seedy underbelly of Metropolis, Joshua flips the script and takes us to the Wild West. Having Bruno Redondo on art duties only increases the enjoyment level for this arc. Lets see what comes next for the Kryptonite Kid! Read Full Review

    AIPT - Lukas Shayo Dec 19, 2023

    After Superman #9, the direction of the book is clear, even if Superman's decisions going forward won't be. In this issue, the art is spectacular and does an excellent job of communicating inner monologues without drawing too much focus away from the underlying tension of every panel. This book accomplishes everything it means to all while teasing a fascinating new direction for its titular hero. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Dec 19, 2023

    Redondo delivers some exceptional art in the issue. I really love the visual style and the character designs a lot. There are some great visual thrills in the issue, but the moments between Clark and Lois stand out because of their stunning composition. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - Heath Fodor Dec 19, 2023

    While I love the Bruno Redondo artwork almost to a scary level, Joshua Williamson seems to be just figuring out what to do with such a firecracker of talent. I love Nighthawk and Cinnamon as characters and am glad they are here. Williamson has drawn out the mystery of Marilyn Moonlight perfectly during this run. I hope to see a better synchronization of the Redondo/Williamson team in the next issue. Read Full Review

That said, Williamson makes Marilyn Moonlight a known quantity to everyone except the reader, and the technically proficient art lacks grit. Read Full Review
