The Summer of Superman Special #1 is quintessential Superman through and through, highlighting the elements that have made him so iconic over so many decades but through a modern (and quite stunning) lens. The ramifications of this issue will be substantial as well, both for the Superman family and for the greater DC Universe, so if there's an issue to miss, it is assuredly not this one.

Summer of Superman Special #1 is a great launch to a Superman-centric summer. A time-spanning threat connects his past and present, setting up exciting future conflicts for the Super-family. Jimenez's stunning art and a clear love for Supes' history anchor the story. While multiple writers cause minor bumps, it's a heartfelt and thrilling start. Read Full Review

The only point on which Summer of Superman Special #1 falters is explaining some subplots from the current comics. Casual comic fans, for instance, may wonder why Lois Lane currently has superpowers and is going by Superwoman. Apart from these things going unexplained, however, this comic is everything old and new fans of the Man of Steel could want in a first issue. Read Full Review

Despite the World of Superman being slightly above average in its status quo, the Summer of Superman Special benefits from a fantastic through line with Fatal Fiver, Validus. The connections to the Legion of Super-Heroes and Clark's reinstated time as Superboy steamroll over the bits of Superman's world that are not really working. It's such a strong element that it's hard to deny the fun and excitement this issue brings, even if the Lang/ Irons wedding is best forgotten and the centerpiece of this issue. Read Full Review

Williamson sets up an uneasy status quo and a dark battle to come building on some threads from the DC All-In Special. Summer of Superman Special isn't an all-time classic by any means, but it does a great job catching up lapsed readers on the Superman status quo and is a showcase for Jorge Jimenez's powerful art and Mark Waid's love of these characters.

Summer Of Superman Special #1is a generally solid anthology that does what it sets out to do - complete the long overdue Irons/Lang wedding, update readers on the events from the All-In Special #1, and give readers a taste of what's to come for the Man of Steel. The big question most readers will want answered is - How did Dan Slott do? Well, the jury's still out on that one. Read Full Review

The art here is really good. I'm very excited for the new era of Superman in comic books and the future stories. I really like he dialogue and how each writer (yes, even Dan Slott) understands Clark Kent. I do wish that there was a TV show live action or animated so that 2025 can be Superman's Year (2024 was a great Superman year with Superman and Lois, My Adventures with Superman and House of Brainiac) but overall this issue has me excited for Superman. Off topic, but I do hope James Gunn's Superman is great, considering the political climate.

And again, Jorge Jiminez's the best DC Artist right now, if not one of the best comic book artists of all time. I can definitely tell how much he loves Superman based on his drawings.

I will buy anything Mark Waid is involved with.

The Waid section was quite good, unsurprisingly, thought the notion of a Superboy who was active in 2005 makes me feel odd, and should the 60ish Waid be the one to write that? The Slott part was a muddle, well intended but clumsy with its climate change message and lacking the assurance of his Marvel work. And the Williamson section wobbles a bit. Plus the art was kind of messy, with a Lana Lang who looks 16 as an adult for no reason. This makes me want to read Waid on Action, but not the rest.

Meh, 46 pages for nothing to happen and not really set up anything of interest. The story is slow paced and the lecture on climate change in the middle of the story wasn't needed. As for the art, I mean if all the characters dropped acid that could explain why their eyes are 2/3's the size of their head. It's not an artistic style it's lack of artistic talent. Save your money kids the Summer of Superman looks to be a let down...Yet again. We would be better off hoping for a Summer of George.
