Oh, I loved this. I haven't that many Superman books, but every single one I have read made me love Clark a *lot*. This book is about him slowly becoming Superman, with all that entails - secret identity, arch nemesis and the realization that even he can't save everybody (and that bit kills me every time, how hard it is for him to accept that). The writing is excellent, definitely among my favourites by Loeb, and the artwork is to die for. As is the coloring. A lovely, wonderful, beautiful book. Recommended. And I really want Superman to be my best friend.

A great beginning book for anyone interested in getting started into superman or just understanding the characters origins, Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb have created another exelent comic run with a DC character. Where their Batman comics were dark (tonally and visually) Superman for All Seasons is vibrant and and positive. This is a good wholesome read that doesn’t provide anything new for old school Superman fans, but for new fans is a fantastic starting point.

“Remember. You can do anything you set your mind to—as long as you believe in it with all your heart.” —Martha Kent, issue 1
this is such a gorgeous, gorgeous miniseries on being clark kent, superman. sales’ art and hansen’s coloring makes the whole world feel soft, even in its darkest moments. i love the way clark’s drawn here, specifically, because he is one of the biggest men in the crowd, in any crowd, but there’s such a gentleness to him that cannot be understated. there’s a sadness to him, too, that loeb really has a good grasp on. loeb’s clark is so deeply human, which makes him so deeply alone in his alienness. having each season narrated by different people that are important in his life—pa kent, lois lane, lex luthor, lana lang—is such a great move. to see clark, superman, the man, and the alien through different people’s eyes . . . UGH. incredible. loved this so much i hope i won’t burst into tears again when i eventually reread this and get to the whole “Pa. I’m scared” moment. truly had me on my knees.
