An interesting first issue that has me intrigued. Superman being gone 20 years but coming back right away with Lois is great, the JL moments really felt like a team, and I wanna see where we go from here.

First decent Superman story I’ve read in a long while. Looking forward to the next issue.

Welp, here begins my new favorite mini series of the year. As good of a JL book as it was a Supes one.

I must say, this left me curious and intrigued enough to try the second issue. Loved the way the JL actually worked as a team and weren't arguing much.

Ooooh. Now THIS could be interesting. Issue #1 was great. I'm hooked. Can't wait for the next issue.

Promising First Issue

Not your typical Superman comic. Liked the sci-fi element. I’ll definitely pick up the second issue to see where this is going.

It's an intriguing start. Clark thinking he was gone for 20 years (or whatever it was, I read it a few days ago and forgot to update) and no one even knowing he was gone.
I look forward to finding out more about where he was, what happened to him, and the impact it had on him. And where he goes from here.

Weird as this is, my favorite part of the issue was definitely Bruce showing up to tell Lois they lost Clark and then him just being in the living room and Bruce trying to nope on out of that situation and Lois not letting him.

Un inicio decepcionante para lo que prometía ser una space ópera protagonizada por Kal-El. No es que no lo hubiésemos leído antes, pero siempre se agradece un nuevo enfoque.
La parte de la aventura con la JL es entretenida. Pero lo que me ha molestado bastante es on las escenas con Lois.
Una LOIS LANE malhumorada y molesta porque su marido hace su trabajo. Como si no supiera con quién se casó. No tiene mucho sentido.
Y esa escena con ella, Clark y Bruce… parece como si los hubiese encontrado besándose.
De momento no me gusta mucho, veremos qué pasa en los próximos números.

Upset with this issue

I’m let down due to the story being a waste. It was a drawn out prologue, a weak one at that. The art was not great, it was just okay. Read something else, this is a subpar read and art.

Phenomenal issue

Phenomenal artwork and writing!
What happened to Superman we find out in future issues!
Lois Lane can make Bruce Wayne wince.
Read this issue

[Debra Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Why does he say Lois is mad at him??? Must know more. I gotta get #2 now.

[John Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This setup feels kind of similar to another one of Christopher Priest's books, his run on Vampirella. Other than that this issue is well written, and I'm intrigued on how it will continue.

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 4 out of 5]

What would you do if you were lost for 20 years and the only thing you wanted was to get back home? How would you react when you finally made it?

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

This first issue doesn't do the best job explaining the way Superman was gone for 20 years, but it keeps me wanting to read further.

[LQ 🖖 🇨🇦 (to the max!) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ll pick up a copy of the collected series for sure.
