An issue that pulls the unexpected and nicely stirs the pot for the next arc. Whilst this might not be the most memorable run so far, the Superman vibes are still going really strong and it's hard not to enjoy it.

I've never been a DC or Superman fan. I've been a purist for Marvel. However, this run and creative team for Superman is Absolutely Amazing. 5 stars.

This run has been pretty meh so far.

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun story, return of the Silver Banshee, but for some reason, this run is lacking the punch I'd hope for.

Awesome issue

Jimmy Olsen and Silver Banshee great couple.
Silver Banshee gets kidnapped by the bad guys!
The artwork is phenomenal and the writing is awesome

Me encanta que ya veamos los primeros resultados de la propuesta de Williamson de tener a Superman y Luthor colaborando de esa forma. Más con su propuesta de retcon del joven Lex en sus primeros días tratando de ser el salvador de Metropolis de una forma que propone un interesante auto cuestionamiento para Clark.

La trama paralela de Silver Banshee con esa viñeta (el bocadillo de diálogo de Jimmy y el detalle en el rostro de la villana... MARAVIGLIA) final pues nos ofrece un divertido extra a otro número bastante divertido y emocionante.

The art by Jamal Campbell in this series is terrific. It's some of the best that I've seen, personally. I just love the look of the characters and the city of Metropolis. The art in the flashback by Nick Dragotta didn't impress me as much, but I thought it was neat that it changed. I'm not familiar with the Silver Banshee so I'm not sure what to think about any of that. I thought her normal form at the beginning was actually Livewire. These two new villains, Pharm and his assistant, are VERY creepy. I like this series a lot so far and look forward to the next installment.

Silver Banshee aumenta sus poderes considerablemente, debido a la exposición a la kryptonita que Pharm y Graft la hacen pasar. Lex le explica a Superman cómo dichos científicos fueron sus primeros contrincantes de Metrópolis, y que fue el propio Lex el primer gran héroe de la ciudad del mañana. Superman y Banshee se encuentran en una gran batalla, inundando las calles de Metrópolis con su poder. Sin embargo, cuando llegan hasta donde se encuentran Lois y Jimmy, el pelirrojo confiesa su amor por la villana.

IMO not the strongest of issues. But I want to know more about the evil scientists.
I don't know if it's just that I don't like the art that makes me not enjoy this comic as much as the other Superman stories, or if I'm just disappointed by the plot moving SO slowly. I get it's spaced out on purpose and how things work in the modern comic age but I'm just not loving it this moment and I hope that the next issue picks back up for me.

This is my first Superman comic, but I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm really becoming a Joshua Williamson fan. The storytelling is just very good the plot is interesting too. I like the villains used a lot as well. Silver Banshee is so fun, and her dating Jimmy Olson is kinda funny imo (I've seen YouTube videos about how much Jimmy dates around)
Marilyn Moonlight is intriguing too. Really enjoying it!

[Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This new format stil feels strange after 4 issues. We have a longer main issue without backup story sold $4.99. But really nothing much happens.
The art is beautiful and the overly optimistic Superman is fun to read, but the +$1 value is simply not there (all the more compared to the new format of Action Comics).

The way Joshua Williamson writes Superman and Lex has been the absolute highlight of this series for me so far! I’m sure I’m only like the millionth person to say this, but it’s crazy how much “Superman: The Animated Series” vibes this gives off. So happy that I’m loving a Superman book for a change!

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lex was a hero? I don’t know if I should believe that. I’ve also missed a lot of story around the Silver Banshee. What’s going on there? When did they fall in love? I don’t want to spoil the last page but it was so cute.

Big Blue and Lex

No one talks bad about the man of steel except Luthor.

I'm enjoying this team up so far and I look forward to where it is going as we learn more about the past of the City of Tomorrow

Feel like not much happened

Jimmy getting himself in the most insane situations, we're so back

[Steven Shinder · Rating 3 out of 5]
