I loved Ordway's art. There have been others who occasionally came close since Ordway's run (Gary Frank comes to mind, he can't compete panel against panel), but I can't imagine anyone drawins Superman this well any time soon.

As histórias feitas por John Byrne são sempre cheias de aventura e personagens bem construídos. Não é por acaso que ele faz tanto sucesso nos Estados Unidos e também aqui no Brasil. Neste encadernado acontece um encontro do Superman com um dos meus favoritos da DC Comics, o Demônio Etrigan. E também aparece uma das primeiras histórias do Superman que li (e que não entendi nada), que foi essa da capa com a múmia. E que depois desemboca no encontro do Super com a Mulher-Maravilha mais para frente....

Volume 3 of the collected 1986 Superman reboot. I still like the Byrne Action and Superman issues. Not a huge fan of the Wolfman/Ordway Advs of Superman issues.

John Byrne continues his re-imagining of the man of Steel at continues to do an excellent job of it.

I liked this collection even more than volume 2! The team ups with Hawkman and Hawkwoman, and especially the Green Lantern Corps in the final story are all great fun to read! Sure, it's dated, but it's a pre-911 era of good old comic book fun! The Man of Steel does even wrestle with a few "moral" issues but they are handled in a few panels whereas today they'd play out in a minimum of 4 issues.

John Byrne is always given a lot of credit for revitalizing the Superman universe in the '80s. After reading now the third volume of that task I can't imagine how bad the books were before him if this was considered so good. While I accept the time frame involved Byrne's writing is dreadful and is as with most of the DC Universe, wholly inconsistent. The corniness seems even higher than most other books in the time period. Now his art on the other hand is very good and looks ahead of its time. R...

I am I huge fan of superman, batman, the teen titans and the justice league. I always have been.

Good, clean, harmless fun. John Byrne> Marv Wolfman.

Some fun to be had, but the comics are definitely treading water during these issues.

Gems include "Bloodsport!" & crossovers w/ the Hawks & the GLC

No one draws Superman better than John Byrne. No one draws Superman (or any character, for that matter) worse than Jerry Ordway. His art is awful. Everyone Ordway draws looks bloated and puffy, and it is such a contrast to Byrne's fantastic art. The stories are okay to good. They definitely have a very late-80s vibe, but in a mostly charming way. The stories are one- or two-issue stand alones, with much different pacing from current comics. Stuff happens fast, gets resolved fast, and moves on to...

A great collection of Superman stories. I had a couple of these issues in my collection but it’s fun to revisit them alongside the others and with more context from the previous volumes. Fun stories of the Man of Tomorrow.

A really solid Superman read. Unlike the previous volumes, this one didn't stand out because it offered its own takes on certain story lines (Clark finding out he's from Krypton, Bizarro, etc.), or because it's stories influenced other Superman media (Superman being brainwashed into serving Darkseid). Instead, this volume just featured several action-packed, but still character and story-driven, Super-tales. Nothing stood out, particularly, but they were still all really well done and interestin...

A mixed bag of outdated tales, but I'm still enjoying a lot reading this Post-Crisis Superman reboot run from classic author and artist John Byrne, always a fan favourite of mine.Loving Byrne's amazing artworks and his take on Kal-El/Clark Kent's character as last boyscout/gentleman standing, sadly I'm not digging much the Wolfman/Ordway issues and not sure about author's thrashing away Superboy's past adventures and reducing Lana Lang's role to just being a victim of unrequited love.Three stars...

Byrne's Superman can feel a bit dated at times, especially with how quickly issues are brought up and then solved. His characterization of Lois Lane as a cold hard witch particularly grates on me. I'm sure her character will thaw out as time goes on, but right now I dread when she even appears in the book. I do like how Byrne portrays Clark as the last true gentleman and how people don't trust his or Superman's altruistic motives. That plays even more today as our society has become even more ja...

Another great foray into the Post-Crisis Universe with Superman being involved with several many characters in the DC Universe as well as having some of his own characters in nice adventures.First in Bloodsport which was an interesting but also a bit sad foray into veterans. Further developments with Superman's world of Krypton and a good look into Cat Grant. Nice bit with the made up Middle Eastern nation of Qurac - modest mention of Iraq. A really good bit on Perry White's family. I have alway...

These three months were a low-point for the immediate post-Crisis Superman.Bloodspot (SM #4). Byrne's return to the Luther plot after the Legends interruption has the possibility of being good, but Bloodsport is oh-so-90s (albeit a few years early) and then it turns into a heavy-handed Vietnam memorial [3/5].Mind Games (Adventures #427). Though he slightly continues the Qaraci plot, for most of this issue Wolfman teases us with another mysterious organization (The Circle) with no resolution [3/5...

Voltamos aos anos 80 com o Superman.Começamos a edição com o encerramento da participação do Super na tal das Lendas; Superman, desmemoriado, toma banho junto com a Graciosa Grace para fomentar a revolução em Apokolips, mas tudo é um plano de Darkseid para controlar o Homem de Aço, até que o Órion e o Lightray aparecem e, no melhor estilo Chaves, dão umas porradas nele até a memória voltar e ele sair pra cima do Darkinho.O Byrne também vai apresentar o Bloodsport, o relógio sinalizados do Jimmy,...

Este tomo tiene un par de grandes historias (el de la momia y el de Rampage), pero sufre el lastre de algunos crossovers que no suman nada: Hawkman, Green Lantern y el intento de arreglar el quilombo de Superboy.

This is super-hero comics done right. Lots of fun, some serious questions, and happy endings!! Although I've never been a huge Byrne fan, he's on the money in these stories. Lots of action, Superman doing super things, solid characterization, and really nice artwork.
