Superman #9

Superman has rarely been better, and the series only seems to be getting better from here. Read Full Review

There's a wild twist that certainly seems intriguing. Superman is definitely on a roll these days and Williamson has helped spark a major turnaround for the Man of Steel's title. Read Full Review

There's a fun scene where Jimmy is running the Planet. There is scene where we see The Chained recaptured. There is a lot of stuff happening here.  That was some wild ride, just what comics should be. Best of all, I am interested in all the plots here. The Lena plot is definitely the one I am following closest. Hmmm ... Read Full Review

This book does something no Superman title has done for a very long timeit's developed an elaborate supporting cast that makes Metropolis feel fully alive, and that's enough to make it one of my favorite current books. Read Full Review

With Redondos amazing visuals leading the way, the latest arc of the Man Of Tomorrow soars to a new level. Williamsons excellent writing balances out the classic storytelling with the creative team to give fans an adventurous new tale that needs to be added to your collection! Read Full Review

As Williamson continues to build this seedy underbelly of Metropolis, Joshua flips the script and takes us to the Wild West. Having Bruno Redondo on art duties only increases the enjoyment level for this arc. Lets see what comes next for the Kryptonite Kid! Read Full Review

After Superman #9, the direction of the book is clear, even if Superman's decisions going forward won't be. In this issue, the art is spectacular and does an excellent job of communicating inner monologues without drawing too much focus away from the underlying tension of every panel. This book accomplishes everything it means to all while teasing a fascinating new direction for its titular hero. Read Full Review

Redondo delivers some exceptional art in the issue. I really love the visual style and the character designs a lot. There are some great visual thrills in the issue, but the moments between Clark and Lois stand out because of their stunning composition. Read Full Review

While I love the Bruno Redondo artwork almost to a scary level, Joshua Williamson seems to be just figuring out what to do with such a firecracker of talent. I love Nighthawk and Cinnamon as characters and am glad they are here. Williamson has drawn out the mystery of Marilyn Moonlight perfectly during this run. I hope to see a better synchronization of the Redondo/Williamson team in the next issue. Read Full Review

Bruno Redondo stops by to draw the heck out of this excellent transitional issue. Read Full Review

That said, Williamson makes Marilyn Moonlight a known quantity to everyone except the reader, and the technically proficient art lacks grit. Read Full Review

The story improves and moves forward by several notches, all while maintaining a great balance of character work and action. Paired with the always-superb Bruno Redondo’s fill-in artwork, we get a real treat for the eyes this month! This is the best Superman has been in several decades.

This still continues to be a premier title as published by DC. Clark recovers from his last fight with The Chained only get thrown into a time traveling side quest by Graft! Redundo's art and flair from the Nightwing comic is a nice touch to have added to Superman's books. I guess this is upcoming arc is the closest we're going to get to an "All-Star Western" ever again from DC.

An excellent issue coming off a slightly silly plot device in issue 8. Good balance of emotions plus Superman being Superman and going back into the Fray not at 100%. Get to see Graft fight and some hints at back story. Slow lore drops, but we are finally learning about our casts back stories which is nice. Great art. Bruno is better used here than propping up Nightwing (if one had to have him choose a book).

I'm still pissed about this book being overpriced, but I am enjoying it, which is the only reason it's still on my pull list. The splash page with Superman getting between Marilyn Moonlight and the professor is simple but great and effective. He also redesigned that armor lickity split. That is the fastest armor alteration in history. I'm not too sure about the Back to the Future 2 ending, but let's see where it goes from here. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/IszYAUThDvI

A nice improvement upon the last issue. I’ll always miss Jamal Campbell being on interiors, but Redondo’s art does fit right in with this series, in my opinion. The western turn at the end here was a little odd and sudden for me, but I’m interested to see where things go regardless.

Nice finish to the last arc and moving into a new one. I like the western end. Should be fun. Williamson is doing as good here with Supes as he did with Flash.

Pretty good issue. The end was a bit too Back to the Future. Like dying, I'm not sure why characters react like the hero will never return though he has countless times before. Another thing, I thought that was Pharm that attacked them and Graft was the silent one yet to do anything (anime experience shows he'll likely wait till the end to do anything) was Graft. Either Williamson has forgotten who among his own characters is who, which is kind of pathetic, or I got confused along the way. All-in-all a decent issue. Not worth $5, but since I get it at a 30% discount it's worth getting for me. You have to be the judge in that category by what you pay. But still, this remains the only book by DC I find worth getting.

Sorry but the Western stuff bores the hell out of me, had to force myself to read through this garbage.
