It’s so solid. A great Superman story for this specific retelling of his character. Wow

Here we solve the problem with the other Clark Kent, all of these mysterious stuff was set by Mxyzptlk, the may conflict is meh but still not the worst, also we see that "a mysterious man" stills watching Superman's activity.
This book also contains an extra action comics brief arc.

An absolutely mind boggling, yet amazing volume, that although answered a bunch of questions opened so may more! I read this as part of Action Comics rather than Superman, and although I do truly despise the art in the Superman editions, I loved this book completely. The weirdness and wackiness appealed to me greatly!

Maybe I didn't get much the drift of Rebirth, but this issue of having two Supermen is executed in the manner of 'meh.'

Superman: Reborn was probably the most confusing comic book experience I've had to date. It deals with the continuity of Superman's storylines and seems to be an attempt at "fixing" continuity broken by the transition from the New-52 era of comics to the Rebirth one. It's also the resolution to an ongoing mystery in the Action Comics series.
Superman: Reborn was probably never going to work for me because I haven't read New-52 Superman comics or Action Comics so I had no context for the foundations of this story. I spent most of this story vaguely confused by what was going on and unfortunately, there weren't editors' notes to help people like me understand what exactly was going on.
Independent of the context I was missing I didn't find the overall plot of the story bad. There was a genuine tension and suspense to it that could have been successful if I understood what was going on. A great example of a story about fixing continuity that didn't alienate me as a reader was Superman (2016) Annual #1. That story addresses the transition from New-52 to Rebirth in a beautiful and exciting one-shot while still giving newbie readers like being something to grasp on to rather than throwing us into the deep end. So a story like this could have worked if there had been any effort to make it understandable independently.
Superman: Reborn is the perfect example of why comics are so difficult for newer readers to jump into. With constant continuity resets and an expectation by corporations for readers to be up to date with every ongoing line, comics have become more and more of an insurmountable hurdle to get into. While I have been reading this Superman series without context for the most part without any difficulty I do find instances like this frustrating.

(Read as Single Issues) While I enjoyed the light read, I can't say it works as a great turn for me. I was comfortable with the pre-new52 Clark and Lois being separate, wiser iterations of the characters. Maybe I'll see why we needed to combine the pairs in future issues, but for now, it seems unnecessary and makes the previous Human!Clark issues even less so. Also, after building up our mysterious figure pulling strings for so long, this arc took away a good deal of his status ... Did we want that?
Jon remains a bright spot and I love Daddy!Clark, so I guess I'll wait and see whether the long-term pay off makes me feel better about these issues....

This is a fun read but does away with an interesting aspect from the new Continuity, namely the fact that they were a pre 52 Superman existing within the 52 verse.
But still it's fun, it's got good art. Worth a read.
Also it takes place after volume 3 in both Superman and Action Comics.
