Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #11, serves as a great penultimate issue to the series. It wraps up a lot of the disparate plotlines into a discernable whole. The loose threads are tied up, leaving only the central mystery to be resolved next issue. I love the offbeat comedy in this book and I would love to see DC do more stories that take an off-kilter approach to their characters. Read Full Review
Right now its safe to agree we could all use more books like Jimmy Olsen and this issue might have been the best example why Jimmy's the hero we need and deserve right now. Read Full Review
And the adventures that Jimmy has had feel ripped right out of the Silver Age, all while tinged with modern sensibilities. This has been a fun wild ride of a maxi-series. I can only pray for a sequel! Read Full Review
The package is completed by artist Steve Lieber's wonderful work here. He is truly one of the most amazing artists that we have in this field. The art is expressive and the storytelling is great. This is another fine issue and I am sad that there is only one more left! Read Full Review
Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber have taken a character with one of the most absurd histories in the DC Universe " including a Silver Age comic whose covers have become timeless memes " and turned it into a compelling and hilarious mystery that's coming together amazingly as it approaches its last act.

It's difficult to tell whether Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen can provide a satisfying conclusion, but this issue is a reminder that the journey was pure joy. Read Full Review
Fraction and Lieber love comics, and it shows. Quite possibly the best issue yet
I had a great time yet again.
Maybe it's because this issue was less text heavy, but I liked it more.
