Reviews

[Higor Hebert]

É tudo lindo. Clark antes de se formar já sabia usar os poderes, e melhor ainda, ele literalmente diz "são como presentes especiais" e sem seguida fala o quanto ele imagina o que pode fazer para ajudar as pessoas com eles. O quadrinho também mostra claramente como a fundação, a base, a criação dele é importante para seu caráter e ideias. Seus pais, seus amigos. Isso que molda o superman.
(engraçado como MoS e BvS basicamente fazem tudo isso ao contrário porque o snyder é doente mental, e os dois filmes são horríveis, já isso... For all Seasons #1 é perfeito)

"I never cared for Metropolis much, can't see the horizon unless you're flying over it. Maybe that's why Clark chose to settle there after all."

GAGGED. Hearing the early story of superman through the narration of his father was such a heartwarming start to a beautifully illustrated comic. Once again, thick ass neck, but the scene of Clark and Johnathan watching the sunset one last time honestly made me a little teary eyed and I rock with it HEAVILY.

Stylized art, and clean script for a thematic reimagining

I honestly love how Clark's characterized in this! I remember hearing someone say Superman's like everyone else and has the same issues as us but just ten times bigger, and this reminds me of that except less on his issues and more him being a normal guy. The tone of the story is melancholic, and it's only emphasized by the art style and coloring, which are simple yet expressive and incredibly...? beautiful, I think it's that simple. It's beautiful. This story manages to make and already likeable character even more endearing, alongside making the world he lives in beautiful too. I really love this man.

A Love Letter to Superman fans and a great place to start for new readers.

Incredible and inspiring, those are the two words I would use to describe this comic. Itdives deep into how life is to be Superman, the emotion the hard choices. This comic isnt filled with action or fighting but it manages to exceed in storytelling and history of superman before the cape and costume. Furthermore the comic art is beautiful, bedecked with well drawn characters and scenery So 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a Superman character that I can get behind, kinda like the character from Lois & Clark TV series. TGTBT, but better than the somber and not caring for humanity character in MoS. The "I could have done more" guy.

But... the interaction between Clark-Lois-Luthor in this edition is kinda like from the Lois & Clark TV series, too.

Hmm... let's see the next edition.

My favorite Superman comic I’ve read so far by a long shot. The gorgeous illustrations, the melancholic mood and unique narration, a timeless story handled with subtlety, absolute banger lines like “thanks, my mom made it for me”😭 this single issue genuinely made me laugh out loud and feel emotional more than all of the other Superman comics I’ve read so far combined

[OinkFish Pigs]

I really like how this focused on Clark’s altruism, and humanity. Scared of the future and what’s to come. But also just a person who wants to do his best. I can’t wait to see the rest of this comic.

Low 10

[StrictlySequential ArtNarrative]

I'll read ANYTHING Tim Sale.

plus Jeph Loeb is good with the emotional sentimentality of capes-and-tights characters.

[Britt Van De Woestyne]

ik ga wenen….

[Steven Shinder]

THIS is how you have young Clark Kent deal with a twister. That scene alone solos against Man of Steel.
