In issue #5, Clark has gotten himself a costume (featuring the cape he took from Batman in issue #4!) and has committed to doing one good deed per day during his lunch break, interning at The Daily Planet. He and Lois Lane discuss the pros & cons of this unknown, unnamed hero ("Skyman?") and Max Landis gives us a clever explanation of how he is named Superman. Landis pits Superman against his first powered foe (the literally powered Parasite who sucks up energy). Clark's internal struggle is externalized beautifully in scenes with Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. Loved the art in this issue. Easily my favorite in the series so far. I decided to dive into this series because I was intrigued by the concept of different artists each issue and I enjoy Landis's writing but mostly I loved the fact that it was going to be only seven issues. I didn't want to have to buy an issue every month for the rest of my life, but now that we're nearing the end of the series, I'm really wishing there was more...

Really good one ! We see this conflicted "american alien", the pros & cons of accessing to celebrity as a vigilante. I like the fact that he stole the cape from Batman. Also, Lex Luthor naming "The Flying man" as "Superman" was really interesting though.
The discussions between Loïs and Clark show how pleasant and hard it can be to have a double identity.
Finally, Clark's mom is everything. She brings a little light to this issue.
Can't wait to see what's going to happen next with Lex.

This book continues to blow me away. I actually can't wait to buy the trade paperback. LOVED Manapul's art here. Felt unique and lively and the colors were just gorgeous to look at.
