The issue is so silver age that one character even says something like "we are about to go silver age". I love it.

Shamelessly Silver Age. It's got the imagination, the silliness, and most importantly, the heart. This book is everything that makes DC Comics great - fantasy and humor grounded in real emotion. Clever theme that I don't see too often - about how Superman sees Kryptonite as a form of rejection from his home planet. Sad stuff... very excited to see how this story concludes.

Pretty fun issue. The art in all the 5th dimension scenes is incredible yet somehow Lex stole the show as the best part of this comic. My one complaint would be I don't like when the writers aggressively push and tell the theme instead of naturally revealing it to the reader

This makes All Star superman from Grant Morrison seem so grounded I'm reality. But it's executed really well, and I like Superman creating his own "Bat-mite". I am excited to see how it all ends, and after it ends I will probably read this series in its entirety.

I love Ice Cream Man, but this series is just not doing it for me. I feel like each issue so far has become less interesting.
