Super! Awesome! This is the Superman series that fans of the character do not want to miss. If there is one good thing that came out of the not so good DC Convergence crossover event it is this great piece of comic goodness. Basically Superman: Lois and Clark follows the story of a very different Supes and Lois from the one's current DC readers know from the New 52 comic continuity. This Lois and Clark (Superman) are from the the pre-flashpoint continuity. Definitely read the Convergence: Flashp...
This was such a great book!! (some spoilers ahead)It starts off with Lois and Clark escaping to this earth, seeing the new JL and their versions on this planet they decide to move upstate and live in hiding with their son Jon. We see Clark fighting threats in the shadows and Lois expose others as Author X but when trouble finds her and Intergang targets her family, she finds new secrets about her son. Also Clark has to deal with Henshaw and prevent the birth of Cyborg Superman and deal with an e...
Very cool lead up to the rebirth start. The plotting is great, artwork really cool. Only issue is some basic plot points ( eg superman containing the other half of the necklace and not knowing...pretty stupid). Otherwsie really alot of fun. As I haven't read much superman before, took a bit of time to get my head around what was going on and what had happened.
So happy to see the Superman and Lois Lane we know and love back!

WOW!!! This has been one of the most enjoyable books to read! I really loved seeing the pre-52 Superman and Lois back on the storyboard. This book tells the story of when they first arrived in the New 52 Universe. I admit I did have to go back and read a short synopsis of Convergence to find out a little more about what the married super couple had been up to. Basically you just need to know that they were plucked from the DC Universe just before Flashpoint, as a brief oversimplification. There
Lois and Clark as heartwarming family, with multiverse adventure and boss fights in classic Dan Jurgens fashion. Great illustrations. Highly enjoyable.
The best thing to come out of Convergence, that shitshow event DC released to bring an end to the New 52, was the return of the pre-Flashpoint Superman and this enjoyable miniseries written by veteran Superman writer Dan Jurgens.In Convergence, all realities were re-introduced into existence, but then Superman's world was destroyed. Brainiac gives Superman a choice of which universe to settle in, and Superman takes his wife Lois Lane and their newborn son Jonathan to the beginning of the New 52
Does everyone remember the shitfest that DC called Convergence ? Well, I had done an admirable job suppressing those memories, so it didn't occur to me that this was part of the end result until Superbeard had a flashback!When Clarkstashe showed up in Superman: Rebirth, I really didn't know what to make of him, and (at first glance) wasn't all that impressed. This is going to sound awful, but part of my dislike stems from the fact I'm not a fan of facial hair.I know, I know! That's very bear...
I loved it! The undoing of the New 52 starts here, with a scaled down story about the original Lois and Clark living a clandestine life when the world they once knew becomes something else. The characters feel hopeful and familiar, and writer Dan Jurgens gives you everything you need to get wrapped up in this self-contained tale. The number of Superman books on the store shelves can feel overwhelming, but whether you're looking for a jumping on point with DC's Rebirth era or are a more casual Su...
This is really a 3.5, and when it is, I usually give it a 3 and state that. However, I really thought this was fun so fuck it, we'll go for a 4. This story is about the Superman we've known for years prior to New52. New52 Superman is darker, more cynical, and brooding a lot more. This Superman in Lois and Clark is experienced, been through the gutter, and came back as a true hero. He has Lois with him as well as their son Jon. They do everything in their power to protect their secret and stay hi...
A real mixed bag. The art, the story, everything. Started out pretty well but lost its way by the end.
I actually really liked this, far more than I had thought I would. This book fills in the back story for how this version of Clark Kent (apparently more or less the pre-New 52 Clark) came, with his family, to New 52 DC. Having the "real" Superman and Lois back just feels really good, and it helps that there's a solid emotional core to the book. It's a family story every bit as much as it's a superhero story. I especially loved how Lois and Clark have a relationship of equals. Sure, Lois doesn't
I thought it's gonna be a filler series about pre-flashpoint Superman but it turned out to be really engaging and well-written.
Thank you, Anne for telling me about this book! Now I understand the new Superman and his family. Excellent art, excellent story. Or stories, because there are so many going on at once. Excellent!!😁
Spinning out of Convergence, Clark Kent and Lois Lane from the old DCU along with their son have been living in hiding for years in the New 52. A really cool idea and mostly well done. Barring a couple of complaints, this is Dan Jurgens best writing in years. And Lee Weeks is at the top of his game with this book, easily the best pencils of his career. The art is fantastic! My few complaints with the writing are such. Lois is very cavalier with her secrets. She knows Intergang is looking for her...
I really should have read this BEFORE the final days of superman, but I enjoyed it all the same. Superman Returns (the movie) tried to do Superman having a son, and it didn't work quite well enough for me. It turned out to be a very flawed movie (with a few redeeming qualities to be fair). This is a much better take on the Superfamily, and at times reminded me a little of the better parts of Smallville and Clarks early years in some of the movies.The story is a bit...yeah...it's pretty heavily t...
It seems like every time that DC tries to "simplify" their continuity they end up with something even more complex as they suddenly have to backfill and revamp. Like the Legion and Hawkman after Crisis ... or this. The premise: the Nu52 has been problematic, so DC has started to bring back its old continuity. They don't want to reboot (or unboot) the nu52 continuity, but they do want to bring in old elements, so they're instead going piecemeal. Thus, here we meet what is apparently the post-Cris...
Overall, I enjoyed the story. Original Clark & Lois on the New-52 Earth. They are in hiding as to not reveal the fact that they were placed on this Earth as a result of "Convergence". I don't recall the Convergence storyline, so I don't quite remember how they ended up on the New-52 Earth. Clark & Lois have a young son, Jonathan, who they are trying to protect. After the New-52 Superman was outed by Lois Lane, they decided that they needed to stay in hiding and not reveal themselves to the world...
Apart from one issue (part five) where the art really suffered, this was a fairly good arc about a secret Superman.The reasons why he's in a strange world, married with a kid, still aren't clear to me.I read the sequel, The Final Days of Superman, earlier, but I should have read this first.(view spoiler)[ As I understand it, New 52 Supes gets cancer on Apokalips, and married with a kid Supes steps in. Which is convenient, because New 52 Supes was a bit of a Wally. Don't quote me on this. (hide s...
