Obi Juan Kenobi reviewed Superman #1 Dec 20, 2023

"WOW..." I literally said this out loud as a finished the last page of this issue. If you're a lapsed Superman fan, and I know that there are a bunch of us, then you have got to give this book a try. The characterizations all feel right, down to the fiery depiction of Lois Lane. I will admit that the New 52 era of DC comics lost me as a reader and that, even when I came back to comics two years more

I'm really bored by this miniseries at the moment. It's not funny, and the stakes are nonexistent, even though they should be readily apparent.

5.0

Oof, I'm not going to lie, This issue was ROUGH! This felt like an issue straight out of the 80's and not in a good way. The writing was wordy and it looks like we're in for a fight with a generic villain throughout the rest of the mini-series. The art was definitely a step down but I was eventually able to get over it. The truth is that I wanted to like this issue but I just kept stopping halfw more

Way of X or Sword of X?

Obi Juan Kenobi - May 25, 2021

Oh man, I couldn't disagree more with this comment. Damian really shines here and the premise of the island and the tournament should get very interesting as it should let us see how vicious Robin can get.

Well, Geoff Johns does it again and it really should come at no surprise. As usual, Johns gives us a perfect balance of modern storytelling and nostalgia that left me down right giddy by the time I closed the book. I mean, come on! That last splash page alone made me gasp out loud and yell "what??! It's _____!!"

Okay, so this is my very first time buying a suicide squad book and, admittedly, I really didn't know what to expect. But since I've started reading comics again after a nearly 10 year hiatus (I just couldn't get into the new 52), I figured it would be nice to see what leads up to the current storylines.

I'd say that this book is a solid read but the art was a little too inconsistent more
