The gold appearance reminds me a bit of All-Star Superman's ending but I don't know how that would be possible. Since I think this might be a riff on Kryptonite Nevermore, is this some kind of 'Sand Superman' version of our hero? So not a bad first issue with new characters, a focus on the new Daily Planet, new supporting characters, and this Kryptonite plot, Slott sets the stage nicely. And seeing the now 'true' Superman history with the Legion and other moments, made me smile. Read Full Review
Superman Unlimited #1 has an intriguing plot, good character moments, and delivers exposition in a creative way, but the exposition slows the plot to a standstill, and the art doesn't rise to the level of the story. Read Full Review
Superman Unlimited #1 presents a compelling new crisis for the Man of Steel, expertly brought to life by Dan Slott's plot and Rafael Albuquerque's atmospheric artwork. While dedicating significant space to Superman's origins, the issue successfully builds tension and concludes with a major revelation, making it a promising start to a potentially pivotal Superman story. Read Full Review
Superman Unlimited #1 isn't a bad debut but it gets a little plodding and tedious at times. A faster pacing and a bit more focus on the emotional aspects at times would have punched up the enjoyment a bit more. But, not a bad start and a debut where we're looking forward to seeing what happens next. Read Full Review
Superman Unlimited #1 is the perfect issue for new Superman readers. It offers a recap of the whole Superman story with a new world for the Man of Steel to work in. This is a fantastic issue full of gripping action, thoughtful character moments, and incredible art. Read Full Review
Superman Unlimited #1 finds the Man of Steel flying off on a suicide mission to stop a meteorite made of Kryptonite, but the end of the mission is the start of a new era. Dan Slott's big idea is a doozy. Unfortunately, the promise of the idea is lost in a sea of recaps about Superman's history. Plus, Rafael Albuquerque's art is generally good during the action scenes but a bit rough with the faces. If Slott can put his creative spark behind a fully original issue, we'll see if he presents a noteworthy story for Superman fans. For now, it's a wait-and-see. Read Full Review
Superman Unlimited #1 certainly has potential and I want to see if some of the problems I see can be worked out. But I also have concerns, and given how it turned out the last time a major Marvel player came over to DC, I worry that were not starting off strong enough. Read Full Review
Only complain that I have is for the art, feels rushed in some parts.
I loved this. It made me feel genuine hope.
If that isn't part of what superhero comics are for, then what are we all doing?
I dig the art. It's different.
I can already tell this comic will be marred in controversy. A sign of the tumultuous times we live in.
This comic speaks to the need and power of truth. I feel that is something we all need right now.
Isn't it sad when Superman is in a wholesome mode in the vein of his classic era and certain people are threatened by that? Threatened by a man, a Superman, being good to his fellow man. I enjoyed this debut. Let's see where it goes.
A great first issue with a very challenging new threat to the Man of Steel that also manages to radically reinvent the status quo on his adopted world. A little too heavy on the recaps for my taste, and the art looks a bit awkward in places, but overall a great first issue that left me wanting more. Does a good job of creating a new jumping-on point for new readers, especially with a new movie on the way.
gonna be honest, I had low hopes for this. Dan Slott fell off after his Fantastic Four and Spider-Man (2022) runs, but I always like to give people a chance. And he surpassed them. I like how Superman is still a guy doing the right thing in a polarized and divided world, and it's nice seeing Superman reminisce his history as he stops a kryptonite meteorite. Overall, I dig this, and I'm actually excited to read the upcoming issues.
Well it's not bad int itself but a retrospective view of Superman's life is not what I was hoping for. Guess I'll have to wait for the next issue to really get into the story...
Average book with art that is not for me.
I don't understand what Slott is doing here and how it's going to fit into the regular timeline. It starts out okay with a montage of his saving people, but then he fights the meteor to find out it's a 100% kyptonite. Yet he makes contact with it and it doesn't kill him. It doesn't even negate his powers as he is still able to push it. Calling bullshit there. Apparently, Slott doesn't understand how physics works. The meteor still crashing on Earth, and there is no cataclysmic event. Calling bullshit again. Then we have see the events of Supe's origin for no damn reason whatsoever. We don't need it. Then when he wakes up Kryponite is now powering everything and the Super-family can now be hurt. Wouldn't this effect all of the other DC title more
The art is wonky for sure but a good story can make up for that, unfortunately that's not really what we got. A look back on Supes life that only a few newbies would want to read seems like a waste, and if anyone really wanted to buy the book for that it would need MUCH better art. This seems like a poorly written excuse to remind everyone how lawful good and noble Clark is with a strange hook just thrown in at the end to try to get folks back for more. This is feeling like a Bendis situation to me. I had high hopes for this as I'm not a Slott hater but it's just....bleh.
Just read the preview for FCBD Rafael Albuquerque can't draw worth a crap. Look at the heads and faces...What the hell?
