    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Apr 23, 2020

    Superman has been one of my favorite characters forever and I lament the modern way that stories all have to be big and world-ending arcs when it comes to most characters, including him. There's so much that can be done with one-off stories amid the arcs that there are times I wonder if writing that kind of material is a lost skill. Robert Venditti handles it very well here as we get a good look at something human and family-oriented, something inspirational, all while getting plenty of action that's resolved in a single installment. Yes, there appears to be a longer story that'll come out of it focused on Lex and his frustration with playing second fiddle to what Superman does here, but that's not a bad thing. You can read this issue and feel closure with it or you can check out what follows down the line. The other plus here is that Paul Pelletier delivers some great looking pages with a really fun and over the top kind of Parasite from what I grew up reading with torn and dinged 60s Read Full Review

    Clocking in at just 99 cents, Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #1 is exactly the kind of book DC needs to be producing - and promoting - regularly, if they want to build up their foothold in the digital marketplace. While it isn't necessarily the flashiest book in their catalog, it has a consistency that's not to be overlooked - Venditti's script has just enough of what a character like Superman needs, and Pelletier really delivers, making this book read far smoother than it would in the hands of just about any other artist. A strong and surprising debut, Superman: The Man of Tomorrow is the perfect launchpad for DC's digital efforts. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Apr 22, 2020

    Superman: Man of Tomorrow #1 is a real bargain for $0.99, and as long as you don't expect too much from it, it is a pleasant surprise to read during these odd times.  Robert Venditti plays it safe, and while the story isn't memorable, the art is excellent, and it has a sweet, timely message to boot.
