james_desantis 's review for:
Superman for All Seasons
by Jeph Loeb
I feel like I could copy and paste my review of Birthright and put it on here. Jeph Loeb is a mixed writer for me. I thought Spider-man blue was good but overrated. Ultimatum but the biggest fuck you ever to comic fans. However, I LOVE Hush and put it as top 10 Batman stories of all time. So when I picked up Superman For All Seasons I came in with a open mind.
This is basically 4 part story of Superman's early days. We start off with Clark finishing High School, his first few months of being Superman, his withdrawal from it all back to Smallville and his rise back to Superman. No spoilers really because it's what you'd expect from a Superman story. Maybe that's why it came off a little meh. Because I read this before, and better.
What I liked: I enjoyed the light hearted feel of it all. Very old school supes. I enjoyed most of the dialog and never came across as trying too hard. The art was a mixed bag. I love some shots, while others not so much. Also enjoyed his relationship with Lana a lot in this story.
What I disliked: The art could sometimes make characters weird. I really disliked Superman's design here. I thought the villain Lex storyline was bad (Fall?) and I was bored throughout. It was only thanks to Winter I began liking it again.
Really it's not amazing, but it's solid. A good introduction to Superman. However, I can offer better stories to read on the Man of Steel. This sits at a 2.5/3 out of 5 for me.
