I didn't enjoy what I read of Bendis' Superman, but this one feels so refreshing. I love every line of dialogue. It felt so human. I hope it continues with this quality.

The "propaganda arc" continues. This road trip keeps feeling as unnatural as before. It's like the government of the US wanted to make people like the military and support war and paid DC to use Superman for it. Terrible writing. So unlike Tomasi and Gleason who normally displayed a great ability to write very human dialogues. Here, everyone is a tool for propaganda.

I have usually enjoyed Gleason/Tomasi's run, but this is not even a comic book. This is a conservative pamphlet that reads like propaganda paid by the government to glorify the US' past wars. Terrible writing. Even the dialogues sound too unnatural.

Superman #27

By: Peter J. Tomasi, Scott Godlewski
Released: Jul 19, 2017

This issue now features "ROAD TRIP" part one! It's been an emotional and physical rollercoaster for Superman, Lois, and Jon: the Eradicator, Dinosaur Island, Frankenstein and the Bride, Multiversity, Reborn and Black Dawn-a barrage of terror and horror! What does the family need right now? Yep, you got it...a vacation!

The premise is interesting but in the end everything is solved too fast. Jon changes his mind with the flick of a wrist and everyone's happy. It left me unsatisfied.

Superman #26

By: Michael Moreci, Scott Godlewski
Released: Jul 5, 2017

Superman and Superboy's teamwork is off and Clark is at a loss for how to fix it. Maybe an old trick Pa pulled when Clark was a boy might help get the father-son team get back on the right track!

I don't give it a lower rating just because the art is good. Everything is rushed. Luthor's development go to waste so fast. Worst thing is that they keep pushing this extremely conservative Superman that adores the founding fathers and names them every time he has the chance. He practically says that the US is not an example for his world but for the multiverse (considering Apokolips is in its ow more
