A truly outstanding cliffhanger ending and dynamic artwork are offset a bit by a plot that doesn’t move the story forward so much as sideways. More great work from Waid, but this middle chapter gets a bit repetitive with its themes.

The storyline ratchets up the tension in a gripping chapter that feels like it’s leading to a resolution, while at the same time opening up a new mystery in its final pages after several exciting narrative twists.

Snyder and team stick the landing to “The Zoo” with this dark, action-packed, emotional and FUN final chapter!

This is yet another stellar Absolute launch, and my personal favorite of all the Absolute first issues. It’s an adrenaline-soaked thrill ride with lots of mysteries thrown in for good measure. If this book is anything like Lemire’s Animal Man from the New 52, we are in for an absolute treat!

This story continues to thrill even as we hit the 6 month mark! A mix of great character work and a scary new villain keeps the momentum going. This team hit the ground running when they took over the book last fall.

Another great chapter that moves the story forward. Solid foundation for this latest incarnation!

I've been reading Superman nearly all my 61 years. Long before I could read words , I could look at the wonderful pictures of a man that came to save us all. The story so far I have enjoyed but the art today by Rafa Sandoval brings me full circle to why I love comics. His art alone is worth everything to a real fan of Superman
.Absolutely the best interior art yet. Before anyone says this or that. Remember we all love comics and we all love what we love so let the nay sayers say nothing for a change....JM more

Improves over the previous issue with a much stronger “hook” to pull in the reader. I’m interested in seeing where Adams takes us. Artwork is gorgeous!

This storyline was a waste of time and resources. I barely cared about any of the characters or their motivations. Poorly plotted, very little character development of any depth, no action except for a weak page or two of a very lame fight with paper-thin villains. John Ridley shouldn’t be writing Superman stories. Such a comedown after Waid’s epic.

This was the book’s first perfect issue as we see the end of Krypton brought to vivid, horrifying life thanks to the incredible creative team. I was brought to tears witnessing Kal experience the gut-wrenching loss of his parents, his dog and his planet in a way that countless earlier DCU retellings have failed to measure up to. It also gives this Superman a clear mission statement that the regular DCU Superman lacks: to ensure that the horror of what befell Krypton doesn’t repeat itself, and which he sees already happening on Earth. I can’t wait to see where things go from here! more

This book is so maddening. One issue it’s pretty good, especially when focusing on the family, then it takes a nosedive the next issue, like this month’s. I have no idea what Eclipso is after, what Wally is doing, what his son is doing. Even the art is confusing at times. What a mess. The sales have cratered, which makes me wonder when DC will finally pull the plug on this experiment.

Both the art and the writing took a step backwards this issue. I don’t feel like Johnson has Damian’s personality and voice nailed down as well as Williamson had previously, and while it didn’t hurt the previous chapters much, this issue it became more noticeable.

This story, for the second issue in a row, has lapsed into inertia. It would’ve worked well in the 70s Social Justice era or even the 80s Grell era, but coming after Williamson’s exceptional run, this is falling flat on its face—and the sales reflect it. This book is headed for the cancellation heap if this direction continues. Make Ollie fun again, and bring back his family! Or a great villain. Something…anything! more

This fantastic team nails the landing for this storyline! Best issue so far!

Great to see Adams giving Kyle such a prominent role here, in a fun and exciting storyline!

Beginning to end, this inaugural storyline was pure perfection in terms of both writing and artwork, akin to Scott Snyder’s excellent Court of Owls storyline in BATMAN 14 years ago. I can’t wait to see where the next storyline takes us!

A bit of a comedown from previous chapters but overall still a very enjoyable read that manages to move the story forward, even if the juvenile prison story is a bit of a detour from the main action with Asema. The best part is watching Batman save a teenager’s life in a race against the clock.

Good solid and fun chapter by the team. I’m intrigued by where this storyline is going, particularly after the last page!

Good, not great, chapter that jumped around quite a bit. Far from Waid’s best work on this title, but still a solid read that moved the story forward.

Mediocre storyline at best.

Very strong kickoff for the new title with a great story and amazing artwork that tees up exciting things to come while setting a nice foundation for a variety of stories and characters. I’m delighted to have this book back where it belongs, front and center in the All-In DCU!

This latest chapter sizzles in the buildup to the finale. Batman dishes out amazing brutality and subsequently gets a brutal, violent beat down in return, all while the terrifying Black Mask ups the stakes for control of the city. This story hasn’t missed a beat since it started and is a pure adrenaline rush!
