Superman Vol. 1: Son of Superman
Superman Vol. 1: Son of Superman | Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason
9 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
WE ARE KRYPTON Part of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling, all-new line of volume one graphic novels, DC Universe Rebirth! When the Man of Steel died defending his adopted home, it seemed that the spirit of truth and justice he represented was extinguished forever. But watching from the sidelines was another Superman-older, wiser, more experienced-with his wife, Lois Lane, and their son, Jonathan Kent. Now this refugee from a vanished universe is stepping out of the shadows, ready to assume the mantle of his fallen counterpart and take to the skies once more as Earths greatest hero. But he is not the only survivor of Krypton to make the journey to this reality. The machine mind known as the Eradicator is on the trail of the House of El, and its hardwired directive to protect the Kryptonian genome permits no consideration for any other forms of life-not even those that share Kal-Els blood. Can the son of Superman harness his newly emerging powers in time to resist the annihilation of his humanity? Or will he be reborn into a new Krypton forged from the ashes of his mothers world? Exploding out of DCs blockbuster Rebirth event, SUPERMAN VOL. 1: SON OF SUPERMAN marks the beginning of a new era for the Man of Tomorrow and a great jumping-on point for new fans-brought to you by acclaimed storytellers Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, Doug Mahnke, Jorge Jimenez, Mick Gray, Jaime Mendoza, John Kalisz, Will Quintana and Alejandro Sanchez! Collects issues #1-6 and the SUPERMAN: REBIRTH one-shot.

Mini comic 7. This cover reminds me of the 90s Superman emblem arts that always had me sold; also cool to see the similar stories and scenes carrying on, now with the young 'Son of Superman' as a new feature.

I am so behind on my supermen reading that this was a little hard to follow. At first. Why are there so many supermen. A red one and a black one. Then when it switches over to the story of son of Supermen, which Superman is that? The stories around the son are interesting. The entire book just seems to be a way to launch a Superboy run.

I've never particularly liked SUPERMAN stories that are primarily about punching things really hard, and that's mostly what "Son Of Superman" is. Beyond that, they don't do anything interesting with Superman having a child; feels like a callback for the sake of being a callback. Decent art and a few nice beats can't overcome a fundamentally thin story.

Just got an ARC of this (as well as Flash and Wonder Woman) and am so excited. To get into it. What I've read of Son of Superman has been the best Superman I've read in years and years.
