Endless Winter: Superman #1

Superman: Endless Winter Special #1 is a warm, heartfelt issue that fantastically captures what the character and his stories should contain. It feels like you are reading a classic Superman cartoon, while still following this very modern crossover. The themes hit hardest after a terrifying year, but this would be a timeless story anyway.

Endless Winter has been a pleasant surprise from the start, but this one-shot with art by Phil Hester may be the issue it went from good to great. Read Full Review

If you had any doubts as to why "Endless Winter" needed to exist, readSuperman: Endless Winter Special. This issue establishes a very relatable world to our own during the pandemic and offers up a shred of hope that is incredibly suitable given Superman is the lead character. Read Full Review

Endless Winter Superman Special didn't have a lot of surprises, but the format of the story is making for a decent serial storyline for readers who want a weekly arc featuring the Justice League. Read Full Review

I don't mind these one off looks at who Superman is. I know who he is. But as they say, every comic is someone's first comic. And this is fine primer on how Superman looks at the world. It also is a nice way of showing how the world looks at him. This isn't ground breaking. But it is entertaining. Read Full Review

All of the artists bring their unique styles to the story and the issue has a well done visual look. I liked a lot of the visual moments throughout, but the flashback had the most engaging imagery. Read Full Review

A simple feel-good one-shot that doesn't let its attachment to a big crossover event cloud its needed message for today's world. Read Full Review

A flashback and aside to Gotham City may serve the larger event, but don't provide any notable connection to the Man of Steel's quest to care for his adopted family and world making this an inessential entry. Read Full Review

The Endless Winter story continues to be lackluster in my mind, while the original setup of what went down in 10 AD is the star of the show but sadly, we're not getting enough of anything here to keep me happy and on top of that, I wasn't a fan of the art this issue. I really hope as these chapters continue that we'll be getting more for our present-day heroes to do because smashing ice monsters left and right isn't keeping me interested. Read Full Review

I wish I could give this a higher mark, but it failed to gain my interest. Maybe because DC has done a global winter story before. The upside is it's nice to finally read a Superman story not by Bendis again. It's nice to see Superman visit the farm. Kinda like the old days (but I prefer when Pa Kent had a thinner hairline and wore glasses and overalls). This is the only chapter of Endless Winter I have and will read until i find the other issues in the $1 box.

Why is everybody behaving so weirdly? If it is -100 then sorry you people should be dying. RIP

This book is an oddity because it has elements that promise a good story but ultimately kill the book. The writers basically demean Superman at every turn, reducing his intelligence so that he is basically reliant on Lois or Martha to tell him how he should feel or think at any given moment. We get it "Strong female characters" but they are also supporting characters that shouldn't overshadow the protagonist of the book people have bought to read about. In terms of artwork it's blocky and lacks detail. Long gone are the days of good art that paid attention to detail I guess. Over all it's a story that has already been told and told better by Ron Marz in Final Night. Maybe DC doesn't think readers remember 1996 because they basically p lugged in a Norse God in place of a Sun Eater and called it a new story. more

My sentiments exactly. What next? People heroes have known for years become sleeper agents? Or supervillains make deals for lame upgrades?
