Superman has arrived and he's out of sight! Right? The world may love him, but the citizens of Metropolis are growing skeptical as the cities around them suffer without the help of the Man of Steel. The world doesn't need saving as much as it needs changing, and Superman and his super friends in the Justice League seem unqualified to save the day the way they once did. Could this be the beginning of the end that Pariah prophesied? Or is it just a sign of the times?
This book is a pure masterpiece so far. Read Full Review
Superman: Space Age #2 is another triumph of an issue, blending Silver Age nostalgia and super-hero action with modern themes of drama, heartbreak and isolation. Its a beautiful story that ends on a high note leading into next issue. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
Even just two issues in, the story is a powerful meditation on superheroes, the 20th century, and our own place in building a better, more just world. Read Full Review
It's not quite as likable as issue one, as Mark Russell is an odd choice for a story explicitly about hope, but it's still an entertaining comic book. Read Full Review
Superman: Space Age is still contemplating what is best in people, even as it moves through the slow shifts of its second act and prepares for the inevitable apocalypse promised at the start. Read Full Review
Superman: Space Age #2 is a very expensive, very long, and painfully tedious comic that doesn't appear to have a point other than to provide an alternate look at the 1970s if the Justice League were real. Filled with incredibly awkward action art, never-ending cynicism, and meaningless meandering that takes up 75% of the pages, this comic is a pointless waste. Read Full Review
I undertand that this book may feel to self indulgent but the way I see it is juat a very honest read. I sense what the autor is trying to do here and I appreciate it fully.
I love this comic in every way possible.
Russell nails it. Ignore the negatity.
Haven't read the story yet, but the art is fantastic. It's great to see actual line art instead of Alex Ross wannabes. Only thing I'd change is -- Superman's red trunks are ridiculously huge in some panels.
Huh. I really can't make up my mind about this one, and suspect my feelings will be clearer when I've read the full series. On the one hand, I loved the portrayal of Clark & Lois's romance, which is perfect end-to-end, on the other, the humor in the portrayal of the Justice League felt cynical in a post-Watchmen style that I've never been fond of. We'll see how I feel when I've got the whole story in front of me
