Superman: Lost #2

The first issue set up the story, but Superman: Lost #2 kicks it into overdrive, showing us Supermans first days cast adrift in space. There are some great moments as we watch Superman adjust to new alien landscapes, even as we switch to the present where Lois struggles to help him recover. Its a thrilling read from beginning to end and makes me look forward to whats to come. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

Superman Lost is humming along remarkably making for a strong read as Priest and Pagulayan pull back the curtain on this sci-fi mystery expedition to return home. Read Full Review

Priest's comics are always fascinating and filled with geopolitical context, but I don't think he's ever done a cosmic story like this before. It starts with a fascinating conceptwhat if Superman was lost in space for ten years while only hours passed on Earth, putting his very human mind through things that no human body could possibly survive.

Pagulayan delivers some fantastic visuals throughout the issue. The visual style of the story is awesome with some beautifully detailed moments on every page. Read Full Review

Priest and Carlo Pagulayan continue to show Superman's odyssey as he is lost in space and time. Encounters that will leave trauma on Superman as he returns. This issue will make you think about how vital a breath can be in a crazy situation. Read Full Review

Superman: Lost #2 is an interesting comic in that it feels like there's a lesson there. It has a style that it's a parable but I'm not quite sure what that underling thing is. It continues a series which feels grand in concept and execution but I'm not sure if that is really going to pay off. Read Full Review

Priest and Pagulayan continue to spin out a story that hits hard because of excellent execution. It gives readers a new look at a Superman in Space story. The story doesn't feel like an attempt to make things different for the sake of being different. Read Full Review

I think this story has a lot of potential and I especially like the 'now on Earth' and the 'away for 20 years' parallel plotlines. I think seeing Superman this vulnerable is fascinating and I want to read more. But I hope this isn't going to be an 'obvious social metaphor of the month' book. Give me some nuanced stories or straight up science fiction.  And keep giving me this art. I know artists don't necessarily like to be compared but this has this slight feeling of 'Ivan Reis meets Kevin Nowlan' and I am here for it. Raises the grade. Read Full Review

Superman: Lost #2 shows early signs of trouble for the maxi-series. The art looks fantastic, and the settings are intriguing, but this issue has no story. It's a mildly odd tour of an alien world wrapped around a supply run and a costume change. If this is the story DC intends to tell, there's no way to justify the elevated cover price. Read Full Review

It's still intriguing and well drawn, but readers will likely find themselves underwhelmed with a journey that offers little insight to new elements while providing so many flashbacks to the events of Superman: Lost #1. Read Full Review

Again another great issue by Priest. I get that not every book will be for everyone. I'm a huge fan of Superman so to put him in a environment that is not your normal run of the mill Superman story is refreshing. Can't wait for then next issue.

I loved it, although in all fairness Priest & Pagulayan doing a cross between the Superman in Space arc from the 80's and The Odyssey was always going to be an easy sell for me. Priest's chronologically jumbled storytelling can sometimes make his work frustrating to read, but here it's perfect, maximizing the emotional impact by contrasting Clark and Lois reeling from the trauma with 20 years younger Clark assuming that home can't be that far away. And Superman trying to still be Superman when he's alone in a place where no one's impressed by that, where he doesn't have time to save everyone he wants to and his powers aren't working the way he's used to is almost always a winner. This is definitely the Superman comic I'm most excited about right now more

So Batman believes the senator to be clean, though they did go fishing with the opposition. What is the lasso of truth motif that's repeated in multiple scenes? Furtum Contrectatio = Prevention of theft in Latin He meets some scavenger aliens, and then ventures to a post-apocalyptic possible-future alter-earth with a non-interventionist Superman called The Victor. The Victor has created his own Eden style paradise at the top of the world where the fortress should be, far away from the tapestry-wasteland of the mud people. In[action] Comics in excelsis! Seems like a fun Silver Age homage with some haunting socio-political commentary, all written in classic Priest fashion, and I'm all for it! Subtitles: "Air Supply" , "Furtum C ontrectatio" , "It Always Rains In Newark" , "Homeland" more

I wasn't a fan of the first issue, but this much more straightforward second issue was good, even if not a ton happened. Consider my interest in this series renewed. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/xJz6buvNFZ MY PHYSICAL COLLECTION (FOR SHOWING OFF): https://psycamorean.libib.com/

It’s the second issue and there’s still not one drop of payoff. At $5 an issue, i will not tolerate decompressed writing anymore
