I love that this is a Superman story that focuses on identity and the problems of being Superman. I sometimes find Superman quite boring, but this was a lovely collection full of some great moments.
I do have to say: I normally love Tim Sale's art, and some of it was great here, but I don't really like how they drew Clark (especially teenage Clark).

This was so good. It took its time, it was well-crafted, it was sincere and genuine. It had everything I've liked about Superman and put it in perspective. It was about humanity rather than adventure. It was what the world can mean to a superhero as the actual identity. So wonderful, so very beautiful.
my first time reading comic with superman and it was amazing
I love Superman for All Seasons. It's my favorite Superman story and it has a flavor for each chapter as well as including a few bonus stories.
You have four chapters, one for every season and they are narrated by different people. Pa, Lois. Luthor, and Lana Lang in that order. They all cover a slightly different period in Supes life. Years go by and the seasons change.
It's a fairly simple Superman story with all the Hallmark elements you'd expect but there's something special and sentimental about it that draws me on, and is part of the reason why it's my favorite Superman story.
It's well worth a shot if you haven't read it.
5 stars.

I enjoyed the change in narration, each season has a slightly different tone. Spring is Jonathon Kent, Summer is Lois Lane, Fall is Lex Luthor, and lastly Winter is Lana Lang.
This is basically Superman: Year One. It is drawn in a very colorful romantic, watercolor way that is very Norman Rockwell America.
Due to the narration, the reader has some distance from Clark and gets to see him through the eyes of those around. It is a great way to add new life to a very old, sometimes boring, character.
This one is all about tone and atmosphere and emotion and less about the actually plot. A great read!

Superman? Um.. I guess I'll take the soup.
That wasn't funny. I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Very much in the vein of Batman: Year One. Although the storytelling is not as tight or revolutionary, the dedicated focus to character and Superman's coming of age is very refreshing.
