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. This Superman looks different but his intentions for helping those who need it the most are there and we see enough of it to alleviate any fears I had going into the series. Along with Absolute Batman I feel this was a fantastic start to the Absolute line. I wasn’t as sold on Wonder Woman but that was mainly due to the art whereas I think the other two have it all.

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. The art is the only redeeming factor in this issue and it’s a shame it’s wasted on another Leah Williams pile of hot garbage. I’m done with with this book now. I want it to be good but it’s just not and I would recommend anyone parting with money for this not to encourage what Leah Williams is serving up.
