Adventures of Superman Vol. 1 by Dan Abnett, Jeff Parker, Andy Lanning, Rob Williams, Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt
4.0
This is a collection of standalone comics featuring the Man of Steel. Lex Luthor stars in several, as well as Bizarro, Lois Lane and many other infamous characters.
One comic includes Metropolis in a bottle, while another requires Superman's help with a child that has been moved across the timeline. In one, Lex even reveals plans to run for US president.
There's a great undercurrent of humour in many of these, and several comics give an insight to the day-to-day lives of different characters. The final episode in this volume is possibly my favourite - featuring fans of Superman who require his assistance. I thought this story was so clever, and pretty emotional, too.
This is very nearly in my favourite books list. Each story is so interesting and unique. 4.5 stars.
