Fantastic start to this new Superman, as a Superman purist I was sceptical but if you can have an open mind and let yourself go along for the ride this has everything.

The art is spectacular, and Sandoval feels like the perfect fit for the book. Jason Aaron has written an issue that has me itching to get issue #2 and see where this goes.

Absolutely loved this first issue

Subic art was made for this type of story and sets the mood perfectly. The story seems simple yet well executed and feels like is going to be a fantastic series.

Looking forward to the next issue, more blood and guts and some brilliant Batman Detective work. Bring it on

This series needs to be put out of its misery. How this survived going into DC All In is an absolute mystery to me. The writing is bad, the focus isn’t even on the titled character and most of the issue is spent with Omen doing nothing but texting, choosing a dress and then going to a ball where we then get a page or two of the only thing of consequence to happen in this issue.

Picking back up from issue #4 after skipping the pointless Frembia arc.

For part 1 of the House of Brainiac tie-in we get the following from Leah Williams: Slice of life skate-boarding with cheesy boob jokes, Omen invading privacy being used as a comedic effect, and two pages of the guest star of the issue (Crush) with a tease of what’s to come in the future issues.
