I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I am not the biggest Superman fan, but I like this new status quo. I feel like all the supporting characters here could also have their own stories. I think Jamal Campbell's big bright artwork fits Superman perfectly.
Lex is in jail, Clark/Superman has the life he wants, and Metropolis is safe, right? Wrong! Lex's past could be coming back to haunt not only him and Superman but the whole of Metropolis as well. What better way to solve their mutual problems than turn all his resources over to Superman? Could thus be the team up everyone wanted since the early says of Smallville?
A very good start, lots of mysteries yo be solved, lots of character development yo be explored and plenty of action to come. The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.

Jamal Campbell's art is amazing, Joshua Williamson's writing on the other hand... This is mostly a story about Lex Luthor teaming up with a bland take on Superman and building a corporate empire from the Super brand, Supercorp. I've been reading Superman comics for a while now and I'm skeptical about this character associating himself with a shady, to say the least, company. Compromising his autonomy, and the world's perception of his symbolic importance, only to give Luthor the benefit of the doubt, a second chance (or the 974th chance). Superman here feels much like the dull and generic good-guy people often complain about without reading the comics, blind in his trust and incredibly naive. Everything in this story is more interesting than him, mostly the villains (Livewire, Parasite, Silver Banshee etc) and even Cat Grant (!), but especially Lex Luthor. He's written like some sort of early hero, before Clark Kent's arrival in Metropolis, a mysterious and ambiguous person. I could not help but feel that Williamson was more interested in writing a Lex book than a Superman one. On top of this, Lois Lane is terribly underwritten as the Daily Planet's new editor in chief, an unhinged girl boss who thinks it's a good idea to scream orders and ignore the fields of experience of the journalists under her for no apparent reason. I was hoping to enjoy this new phase of one of my favorite characters, but everyone in this feels one-dimensional, except for Lex, and that's a shame because the art of Jamal Campbell is really good.

I feel like J.W. is one of the most consistently interesting writers working for DC these days and this initial foray into Metropolis bears that out.
Mercy Graves is having a moment.

3.5 stars. Williamson is definitely setting up a story here, but I don’t know that it’s necessarily going to be a Superman story. Really enjoying what he is doing with Lex Luthor here and looking forward to seeing what will be revealed about him in future issues.

I just love this. Clois moments are so sweet, and I'm even invested in Jimmy love life. The creative team behind this is amazing.

When it comes to Superman, the original American comic book superhero, his mythos that range from his origin story to the cast of characters have been around for decades. Whatever deviations happened along the way through comics and other media, the status quo remains unchanged. That said, during recent years, we have seen some progression such as Clark Kent being married to Lois Lane, and the two have a child, who not only becomes Superman in his own right, but also took over DC’s flagship title, retitled as Superman: Son of Kal-El.
As part of the Dawn of DC initiative, Superman by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Jamal Campbell puts the focus back on Clark as the sole protector of Metropolis. As he settles back into his life, working at the Daily Planet, which is now being run by Lois as the new Editor-in-Chief, the jailed Lex Luthor has plans to join forces with the Man of Steel. With Lexcorp now being turned into Supercorp, Superman seems reluctant with this sudden alliance, old and new forces from the shadows to strike down Superman.
As one of the most prolific writers at DC currently with several titles under his belt, Joshua Williamson’s approach is acknowledging the hero’s history, but also moving him forward. What could have been tiresome, there is something delightful about returning to simpler times where he is working alongside a colourful cast within the Daily Planet, whilst having to worry about the likes of mad scientists, such as his arch-nemesis Lex, who continues to bug him over his comments of mind over muscle.
Williamson nails the voices of these well-established figures, whilst adding a modern parlance like Livewire lashing out over her podcast getting cancelled and becomes a humorous presence throughout this volume. Obviously, the hook of this new series is the formation of Supercorp, which sets this uneasy alliance between Superman and Lex Luthor, with the former who is determined to see the best in everyone, whilst the latter remains his mischievous self behind bars as Williamson doesn’t seem to have plans to redeem him at this point. In one glorious flashback (drawn by Nick Dragotta), we see a young Lex first arriving in Metropolis and makes a first impression by being a hero in his own way, which causes the current conflict that Supes must deal with.
There are glimpses of Superman adapting to the workings of Supercorp, such as briefly getting a new suit and a montage page of him going off on pulp-like adventures, but Williamson is perhaps too tied with the well-established formula of Supes being a hero in Metropolis, as well as putting more focus on familiar villains rather than the new ones. The tone is still fun and irreverent, with some great character work along the way, from Mercy Graves being a bit of a scene-stealer, to Jimmy Olsen and Silver Banshee developing a romance.
Having drawn the Man of Steel through covers and interior art for other DC titles, Jamal Campbell is an ideal choice to draw the main Superman title, which retains the classic look of all these characters, but with modern art techniques. Campbell’s action looks grand and vibrant, while his characters are animated and expressive, and so when you get to the annual that has numerous artists involve, such as Mahmud Asrar, Edwin Galmon, Caitlin Yarsky, Max Raynor and Jack Herbert, no matter how good their styles are, they pale in comparison to Campbell’s.
It may sound like a cliche to say that Joshua Williamson and Jamal Campbell’s Superman is a return-to-form for the character and his world, but this volume is a successful meshing of old and new with enough mystery that makes me excited to read the subsequent issues.

Entertaining Superman book. Having Superman take over Luthors business opens up all sorts of interesting storylines. Will keep reading
Read
December 14, 2024Superman is in good hands with Williamson; a writer who knows how to turn a character-led comic into an ensemble story. Lois, Jimmy, and Luthor all shine here, and in fact the only weird element is how Supes himself comes off as a bit of a himbo. He seems a little dumbed down in this story, but it’s still a fun and exciting ride.

Ран на Флеші від Джошуа Вільямсона не те, щоб надзвичайно класний. Там були хороші сюжетні арки, так і багато прохідного. Та читати загалом було досить цікаво особисто для мене. Але тепер він пише про Супермена під час ініціативи Світанок DC. Що із цього вийде, побачимо згодом. А зараз трішки про першу сюжетну арка «Супермен: Суеркорп» (2023) #1–5, яку малював Джамал Кемпбелл.
Вільямсон зосереджує увагу на Кларку, як головному оборонцю Метрополіса. Повернувшись до своєї рутини, Кларк повертається також до роботи в Daily Planet. Тепер під керівництвом Лоїс, яка стала новою головною редакторкою. Тим часом ув’язнений Лекс Лютор розробляє схему співпраці із Суперменом, при цьому Lexcorp віддаючи управління компанією своєму заклятому ворогу Суперемену. І вона перетворюється на Supercorp. Незважаючи на наміри Лекса, Кларк вагається щодо цього несподіваного партнерства, особливо з новими загрозами, яким потрібно протистояти.
Супc не зосереджується на управлінні бізнесом, а більше на своїй місії оборони світу та міста. Особливо коли він стикається із загрозами з боку таких ворогів, як Срібна Банші, Паразит так Прищепою і Фарм, які один за одним націлюються на Метрополіс із поганими намірами. Джошуа Вільямсон вводить інтригуючі повороти у світ Супермена, відрізняючи його від подій, що розгортаються паралельно в «Бойових коміксах». Крім того, такі відомі персонажі, як Лоїс і Джиммі, знайшли своє цікаве місце сюжеті сценариста. Особливо здивували певні події із Джиммі.
Поки Вільямсон закладає основу для майбутніх сюжетних ліній, Джамал Кемпбелл супроводжує оповідь яскравими кольорами, жвавістю та гарним малюнком, що робить кожну сторінку цікавою для візуального сприйняття. Вільямсон оживляє світ Супермена, гарно поєднуючи старі та нові елементи. А достатньо таємничості ще й трохи інтригують. Як на мене, досить хороший старт цього рану.

Gave this another try and I'm not sure why I was hating on this before. Maybe I just wasn't as familiar with Superman, but I enjoyed this.
Can Lex and Superman finally work together and help the world in more ways than one? Who knows, but this is interesting.
Some of the villains in here aren't the best simply due to the lack of time spent on them, but they do their part and Silver Banshee gets a nice side plot.
Everyone's voice was great and I can't wait to see what happens with Graft and his team as they continue to experiment on Superman's rogue gallery. I hope to see more quiet moments with Clark and Lois moving forward as well.
This was fun and I enjoyed it the more we progressed with the story.
There was a small moment of peace Clark hadn't been able to feel for a long time and it was sweet how he and Lois got to cherish the moment.
7.5/10

I gotta admit: this was a hell of a lot of fun!
I've never been a terribly big fan of Joshua Williamson. His Flash run seemed uninspired, and his Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover was like some sort of metatextual joke about the creative bankruptcy of contemporary comics. But in this, his "back-to-basics" swing at the Man of Steel, he actually manages to mix up a bubbly, entertaining concoction by remixing elements of classic Superman lore in creative and novel ways.
Lois is Editor-in-Chief! Jimmy is dating Silver Banshee! Lex has turned over LexCorp to Superman and re-branded it SuperCorp! And Lex and Superman are working together, even though Luthor is stuck in jail! There's a fun, playful energy to the book that's been missing from Superman comics for years, and a lot of it comes from the fact that Williamson isn't taking anything too seriously. (Also, the artwork by Jamal Campbell is clean, dynamic, and outright spectacular!)
I'm already counting the days 'til volume two!

Jamal Campbell and Nick Dragotta bring so much to the heart and life to this book. I’m sad to say that I’m not sure Joshua Williamson does the same. I think there are some solid concepts and and ideas, Luthor wanting to team up with Superman could be very interesting. But it’s executed in such a workman like way. It’s a passable good time but it doesn’t feel like it has as much depth as other recent Supes stories (Warworld). The art is top of the line so I’ll probably continue to check in on this but it could be so much more.

Foi uma leitura leve e divertida do superman, que achei que combinou muito com essa nova aurora da DC, pois houve uma inovação quanto aos antagonismos do Superman, mas também estabeleceu que o Superman é o escoteiro americano que acredita em segundas chances e quer ajudar a todos.
Essa característica do Superma que mencionei acima, é essencial para a construção do personagem e vem em um momento importante, porque a DC já expõe de cara que nessa aurora DC não vai haver superman do mal e sombrio igual temos visto ultimamente e que se popularizou. Aqui, temos o Clark bonzinho como tem que ser.
Ademais, gostei bastante que foi proposto nessa HQ quanto aos antagonistas que Clark enfrenta, porque vemos algo novo, vilões que até então eu não conhecia, e ainda busca construir um passado de Lex Luthor, que deixa o leitor curioso para saber mais.
Ainda, é legal de ver que, as tramas envolvendo Luthor e os novos Vilões se entrelaçam e ainda somam com outros vilões já conhecidos, deixando tudo bem conectado para uma trama maior.

A very promising start for the current volume of Superman. A zombie plot, a new love for Jimmy Olsen, and the secret history of Lex Luthor! Heavy on the foreshadowing of what's to come-- like, what's up with Brainiac?

Superman teams up with Lex Luthor! That's the headline for Supercorp, where we find our hero besieged by Graft and Pharm, mystery villains who are always one step ahead. Luthor (currently imprisoned) offers to lend Superman a hand...by completely reformatting Lexcorp into Supercorp. Cute!
There's some fun to be had with the team-up, not to mention a sweet little villain/hero romance for Jimmy, but Supercorp largely feels like scene-setting (especially in the handful of seemingly random scenes with Brainiac?). That's perfectly fine - assuming future volumes take us somewhere interesting. The annual issue at the end is exhausting and fully skippable.
I really dug Jamal Campbell's art elsewhere, but here it felt off-puttingly computer generated. All flash and zazz with little humanity. Not ideal for Superman.

An interesting direction from Williamson. Maybe a bit busy. This could've used more universe setup but still good art and a good overall tone. 3.5 stars.

2024 Eisner Award finalist - Best Single Issue/One-Shot (Superman 2023 Annual)
Here we go with the umpteenth Issue #1. Of course, it's really just a continuation of everything that's come before, with many references to past characters and situations, sometimes explained, sometimes not, for new readers. The new status quo includes Lois Lane as the editor of the Daily Planet and Lex Luthor in prison. Luthor has legally transferred ownership of Lexcorp to Superman with a new name, Supercorp. It's all part of Luthor's plan to team up with Superman to fight supervillains. Of course, Superman doesn't trust Luthor, but goes along anyway because reasons. Superman ends up fighting Parasite and other foes from the past, including Jimmy Olsen's new girlfriend, Silver Banshee (sort of an evil Black Canary). It seems like we've seen all this before. Luthor is a great villain, but he needs a rest. Williamson is also attempting a bit of retconning by giving us flashbacks of Luthor's first years in Metropolis. Maybe this will pay off later, but for now it's pretty much completely at odds with everything we know about Luthor. And, in the Annual Lois sends out her best reporters to dig up news stories, but inexplicably not in their fields of expertise. The resulting mishmash of art styles and subplots tries hard to showcase some of the supporting characters, but doesn't make a lot of sense. The artwork by Jamal Campbell in Issues #1-5 has a nice, painted feel, but is perhaps a bit too realistic (and Superman looks like he's wearing ill-fitting underwear).

There is so much I enjoyed about this! Firstly, Jamal Campbell's art is bright and fun - the action sequences are great and it really suits Superman. Joshua Williamson seems to have an excellent grasp on the characters - so far, I love how he writes all of them.
Lex Luthor is a big presence in this. Even though he is currently incarcerated, he is constantly talking to Superman and the plot of him leaving Superman in charge of LexCorp is fascinating - where is this going? There is also a revelation that Lex had a secret past as a hero when he first arrived in Metropolis - unless he is lying, of course. Either way, colour me intrigued!
Other stuff:
-Lois Lane being promoted to editor of the Daily Planet!
-Jimmy dating the Silver Banshee!
-love to see more of Mercy Graves!
-the new character, "Marilyn Moonlight," is awesome - great design - I already want to see more of her and learn about her backstory!
Overall, I had a blast reading this! There are many call-backs to classic villains with Parasite and Toymaker, and some newer ones like Livewire (who I think was from the 90s animated series?) but the narrative never feels bogged down by any of this - it's fast-paced, upbeat and has a great mixture of action and intrigue.

Joshua Williamson is one of my favorite recent comic book writers, particularly after a run on The Flash that was simply superb (and which I’ll probably be reading again soon), so I was quite excited for this. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, though; while there are a lot of fresh, interesting turns he takes with Superman’s cast of characters, it’s all a bit too…busy—frenetic, maybe—for my taste. Definitely going to stick with it a bit longer, though, to see if Williamson can find his footing a bit more.

at several points i felt like i needed more context as they kept referencing past events and people i didn’t know (#newgen) but this was lots of fun. lex lowkey wants superman soooo bad and the jimmy & silver banshee bits were so cute!!! lois was awesome too… yes… love this…

The "ANGEL: Season Five" of Superman comics. Which I mostly mean as a compliment.
November 9, 2025
"Superman: Supercorp" is an exciting and fast paced, although occasionally uneven, start to a new Superman saga. The book starts with a bang when Superman is surprised by the sudden appearance of the Supercorp building and organization, a mysteriously rebranded Lexcorp run by top Lex hench Mercy Graves, and then compelled to enter into an uneasy alliance with the newly incarcerated Lex Luthor himself as a host of Parasite clones descend on Metropolis and threaten to consume the city. Expect new roles and character development for a number of key characters, a pair of mysterious and dweeby big bads, the return of a few fun supporting villains, a Daily Planet editor scarier than Perry White, a seemingly reformed Mercy and a previously undisclosed back story for Lex.

Now that the DC Universe has rebooted yet again, and "Knight Terrors" is on the horizon, we need to find out what is going on with Superman and company, and here in his book, we are introduced to "Supercorp". With Lex in jail (though still helping), he gives control of Lexcorp to Superman and the business becomes all about helping Superman save the world. Unfortunately, most of that means that they have created weapons to take out all the enemies, which Clark always destroys. He is able to shut down and help Parasite, as well as Silver Banshee (who is dating Jimmy Olsen).
Three things remain till next Volume:
1) Graft and Pharm (old enemies of Lex) are still on the loose and have clued Clark into something called "Project: Chained"...
2) Lex has been cornered in jail and stabbed many times, but Clark can't hear him since he hearing is still recovering from the battle with Silver Banshee.
and 3) Lobo has been captured by Brainiac, who has also bottled the planet of Czarnia. Definitely plans happening there....
Overall, a slower start, but a good one. Looks like Superman is going to have his own huge event soon, which is always nice to have a contained crossover.
Recommend.

and 3) Lobo has been captured by Brainiac, who has also bottled the planet of Czarnia. Definitely plans happening there....
Overall, a slower start, but a good one. Looks like Superman is going to have his own huge event soon, which is always nice to have a contained crossover.
Recommend.

Williamson is executing a solid back to basics approach to Superman—but do I want to read a back to basics approach to Superman? I don’t need you to rehabilitate the billionaire sadist Lex Luthor anymore, either. We don’t need to feel bad for the evil rich man in 2023. Jamal Campbell’s art is incredible though.
