If you like Superman I think you will like this. Cool story with great art.

This was interesting enough but lost me at the end.

It was a cool plot with Superman finding out that there were more Kryptonians in the universe (aside from Kara). It was interesting seeing Lois reluctant to be a mother considering what comes later in Rebirth. This is the introduction of Christopher Kent, a character that left some people rather bitter over the existence of Jon because it seems DC largely forgot to mention Chris again, it seems.

I liked seeing Clark adjust to being a parent. I liked seeing Lois come into her own as Chris’ mother. (Although it was a real dick move for Clark to just decide he was going to raise this kid without consulting Lois).

The prisoners from the phantom zone weren’t as interesting here as they were in the films, for me.

The ending is rather sad but fitting. This is kind of a recommend from me.

Featuring two of the finest and most exhilarating Superman stories ever created, neither ever forgets the Man of Steel’s optimism despite some decidedly dark moments.

Near perfect expansion of Superman's world, with all major side characters fleshed out. Second half with Brainac stronger than front, along with the art.

This book made Zod one of, of not my favorite Superman villain. I think it exhibits his character very well. He's ruthless and vengeful to an almost savage extent.

This book is pretty emotional, especially for Clark and even Lois. Zod is one of Superman's toughest enemies and he'll need to get some help from some unexpected people to stop him. It's definitely one of my favorite Superman tales.

A great comic, one of my favorite about Superman. And the first Superman comic that has made me cry.

A thoroughly-competent Superman story and nothing more.
