One of those perfect Superman stories that really focuses on the heart of the man and what drives him to be a hero.
I love this so much, from the art which I thought I wouldn’t like, to the narrative, to the characters.
This book is so great and I especially love the first issue focusing on johnathon Kent and his dialogue is amazing.
The thing that kept me from 5 stars was the second issue, I didn’t like Lex Luthor that much but other than that I love it.

I really enjoyed Superman For All Seasons. It is not Lobe and Sale’s best work together. But it is a touching Superman story with beautiful art. This is the kind of feel I want captured in a Superman movie.
As great as Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman, and just as human in all its unashamed americana... and better told overall.

Jeff Loeb shows us what it would be like for a farm boy to leave a small town for the big city and embrace his destiny.
Tim Sale channels Norman Rockwell and shows us a picturesque Smallville like we've never seen before.
A great starting point for new Superman or graphic novel fans.

First off, the art is beautiful, I've read other comics illustrated by Tim Sale, but what really makes this art is the coloring, props to Bjarne Hansen completely. The story is amazing, as well, we see the life of Clark in four seasons narrated by other characters like Pa Kent and Lois Lane, and they're all so good. I love when comic writers make clear that the man behind Superman is what makes his character so great, Clark is a Midwestern man who makes time to see his parents, he is a good man who helps people out of the sheer goodness of his heart, and this comic makes that so clear throughout.
Love, love, love this. No notes.

Easily one of, if not the best, Superman story I've ever read. Should be at the top of the list for anyone trying to get into the character's best stories.
This is a decent comic, I guess? It tries to build a Superman mythology: each chapter is narrated by a different character in Superman's life (Lana Lang, his dad, Lois, Lex Luthor)
I feel like it was kinda mid in general: not a ton of interiority for anyone except Pa Kent, who was rendered with loving vitality
The art is gorgeous though
