This was really good. Its about Clark as he visits the New 52 guys fortress and then trying to meet with his son and adjust to new reality when he has to solve the problems throughout the world and team up with the little Superboy to fight monsters and all until Eradicator finds them and wants to cleanse the human side of Jon and restore Krypton and so its about the Superman family fighting this being and there are adventures throughout and showdown at Moon and all that will follow.Also Hell-bat...

I hated everything about this comic. From the fact that it was supposed to be a fresh start for new readers but was ultimately a continuation of some previous story arc, to its dumb and nonsensical Terminator rip-off plot, to complete lack of subtlety in storytelling and character development, to the ugly-ass artwork. But there is one particular aspect of this book that absolutely drove me mad.So Supes has a son called Superkid, or something. He's still young and doesn't know how to control his

This is by far my favorite Rebirth title. Peter J. Tomasi knows how to write family dynamic. If you have a family, this book hits even better. If not, well it's still really well written. Superman is trying to find his place. Trying to be the replacement the world needs now that their Superman has passed away. The single shot issue helps establish a conflicted Clark but once the main story hits, when you see the reason he's worried, is because of Jon (his son) it all comes together. Clark decide...

Great story!!! Good action and plotting. The family dynamic seems to be new angle to the Superman story. The artwork is amazing. Great start to the series.

A surprisingly great entry into the Superman mythos. The theme of family is incredibly strong here and it's presented well through the Clark / Lois / Jon dynamic and The Eradicator. Most of the characterisations are good, esepcially this iteration of Superman who feels both unique and familiar at the same time. My biggest problem is the art in the middle. Even if it is a stylistic choice, much of the blue and red line work makes every panel look like it's trying, and failing, to be 3D, creating

You know the Batman trade is in trouble when i like the Superman trade more, but this was super adorable. It focuses on Clark, Lois and Jon keeping a low profile back on the farm and it doesn't sound like the greatest adventure ever, nor the most exciting plot but it's actually a really sweet read. It does move past the whole 'other Superman' thing quickly which is good because that story line just needs to end. Instead you get to know more about Jon and him learning about his abilities, plus th...

Having read a couple of DC’s Rebirth titles, it did seem like a light was shining on the publisher following The New 52, which, for many readers thought was considered a disappointment. As for Superman who really is DC’s shining example of what a superhero should be, we are always wishing the best for him even if he has featured in many bad comics, as well as having witnessed a poor cinematic portrayal nearly a year ago with Batman v Superman (yes, it still stings). Even with its front cover of

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.Since I pretty much hated the New 52 Lois and Clark, it didn’t take much to improve things in my eyes, but I have to say WOW! I really loved this book. The art was great. The story was fast-paced, exciting, and explosive. But, mainly, I loved it because of the characters: Lois, Clark, and their son Jon.The core theme of Son of Superman is family. This pre-Flashpoint Clark Kent dealing with guilt and worry over danger to his family, as he comes out as the new Su...

Finally a Superman writer I can get behind. This was a brilliant story. I know Tomasi from his great run on X-O Manowar and I’m glad he’s gone on to write some good stuff I just hope he does some independent stuff soon. This volume is about the Eradicator and lost souls of krypton. But this is the Superman from another dimension taking up the mantle. All in all, great action, artwork, writing and also heartfelt, just how I like it.

4.5 starsOh my god, they finally got Lois Lane right!Yes! I love this version of her. She's not an angsty whiner who's constant spilling secrets or idiotically trying to get the story at all costs - she's smart, kind, tough, & funny.And if you come after her kid, she's gonna fly to the moon, put on a Bat-bot costume, and kick your ass!You'll probably have to read this for that to make sense... So, yes, I'm 100% digging this Superdad thing!For a long time now, Superman has been missing that human...

"It's not about our powers, or strength, or heat vision. It's about character." This is why I read Superman. Tomasi and Gleason are at it again, writing a compelling story with mind blowing illustrations. Only complaint I have is I don't exactly know why we're here, who the Whites are, or why there are two Superman. That's my fault for having not kept up on DC's "easy to follow" continuity in Rebirth. Following the awkward mashup of Final Days of Superman, the main story follows Clark, Lois and

I wanted to like this better than I did. Although the art is outstanding and the story is good, too, I'm having trouble feeling the love for Clark Smith. My heart still yearns for Clark Kent.

[Read as single issues]Fresh off a hugely successful run on Batman & Robin, Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason grab hold of the next most popular father/son duo as the Pre-Flashpoint Superman returns to the DC Universe with his wife Lois and 10 year old son Jon Kent. As they try to find their place in the world, they also have to deal with our universe's Eradicator, who wants to murder Jon. Supes ain't havin' none o' that.You can tell Tomasi and Gleason are both fathers, because the family dynamic...

Score: 3.63 out of 5Grade: 73% (B) | GoodA new take on Superman puts him up against his most difficult challenge yet….being a father. Here is my review of Superman Volume 1: Son of Superman:The Good:I loved seeing Superman as this larger-than-life father figure. There’s plenty of father and son bonding, if you call fighting a giant squid bonding. But it’s funny seeing Supes as this over-protective dad. Even though he’s one of the most OP heroes in comics, it’s nice to see him struggle with a ver...

Rebirth has been one the best things that could have happened to Superman Tomasi and Gleason make the perfect duo. I loved Batman and Robin (Series that you should read because they would be bringing elements from that series to this one), and I'm sure that I will love this too. Enjoyable from beggining to end. This issue brings back all the things that we like and adds some new things to bring Superman to a new era.

I read this as single issue comics; collection contains issues #1-6 and the SUPERMAN: REBIRTH one-shot.I've really been enjoying the Rebirth relaunch of the DC line; and the Superman books have been particularly interesting to me as it has brought back into play the previous continuities Superman.This first volume pits Superman, Lois, and their son Jonathan against the Eradicator. A strange machine bent on protecting the purity of the Kryptonian genome that has somehow allowed it to travel throu...

Good! This is definitely one of the better Rebirth titles; Peter J. Tomasi I feel is a writer, who never blows my socks off with his stories, but he gets the job done, and never writes a bad story from what I've read! This one is no exception, and its a solid title; compared to Action Comics, its clear its superior in the story department, and unlike Action, it gets the family element right, mainly because Lois and Jon, don't stand around and cry every five seconds, they actually contribute and

Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, the creative team best known for their New 52 Batman and Robin run, try and recapture that title’s magic by applying a similar formula to Superman Rebirth, giving Superman a young son sidekick - and unfortunately the result is not nearly as good. Superman has a son now? you might ask, and, yeah, apparently he does! The New 52 Superman is dead and a flashback to the famous Death of Superman storyline where Superman fought Doomsday establishes that this is a pr...

The best rebirth story I've read yet. They've fixed everything they screwed up with the new 52 Superman and the whole depowered, wrestling Superman nonsense. Tomasi and Gleason are one of the best creative teams working at DC and it shows. I love the interactions between Clark, Lois, and their son Jon. My favorite parts are Clark showing Jon the ropes of what it means to be Superman. I hope they continue to focus on the family dynamic in this book. It's a great way of making it stand out from al...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. It seems that the Superman books are the cream of the crop with DC's Rebirth. This one, like the Action Comics volume, reintroduces the Superman family, and paves the way for a promising future. I really like how the Eradicator was handled in this one, too.
