I found the art and colors very beautiful. The plot structure is very similar to the Silver Age. I liked the characterization too. I liked it overall.

بداية ممتازة مع نسخة جديدة من باتمان مختلفة عن اي نسخة سابقة بشكل كبير ونظرة جديدة على الشخصية نجح فيها سكوت سنايدر بتقديمها بشكل غير متوقع مع هذا العالم جديد بكل تفاصيله والتلميحات واكيد المفاجأة بالصفحات الاخيرة

I haven't been this excited about a Batman comic since Norm Breyfoggle was a regular penciler on Detetcive. This comic was really good - had a Dark Knight vibe that cannot be coincidental. The visual storytelling was top notch. I'm not familiar with Nick Dragotta, but this was impressive. The colors were a bit dull, but overall the art was just fine. The story was also fine. Well paced, good world I haven't been this excited about a Batman comic since Norm Breyfoggle was a regular penciler on Detetcive.

I tried to read it and made it to page 6 and just didn't care to finish, I am going to try to read it again later . Might change my grade later. I just did not care to finish it

Now that is a comic book. Wow! I'm all in.

Rather than a JSA story, this issue is a one-and-done coda to Stargirl's story, with really great art by Todd Nauck. Geoff wrote some really great DC stories and series at DC, and I wish him luck on his next projects.

Was #12 the first issue that came out monthly? For a while it felt it was quarterly or less.

The cartooning in this book is amazing. There is no other comic being published that is comparable. The story is cool, Brett Parson's art is awesome. It's rare that a comics artist can accurately draw kids or backgrounds or period pieces or emotions, but Brett can do it all. Also kudos to Moreno Dinisio's coloring.

I can't wait to see what they do next.

ANNNNNND the series comes to a screeching halt and implodes. This issue is a complete mess. What the hell was DC thinking? Oh I know...

The first story was similar to Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, and it was great. The second story -- Lois made a perfectly logical decision. I enjoyed both, it felt very Bronze Age, like World's Finest.

Decided to give this a 10 before I start reading it because if the Outrage Brigade is going to give it a 1 sight unseen just because it's got boys kissing boys, why should I take my rating any more seriously? After all, I like to see boys kissing boys just as much as they do not.

Rating the individual stories as I read along:

Hello Spaceboy: 8/10

The 1-star reviews make me wonder if those guys also give 1 star to books about asian, black or women superheroes without reading them. Or are they just afraid of gay heroes?

Waid and Hitch craft a powerful tale that may easily become a new Superman all-time classic. Mark is the guy that gave us two of the greatest Superman stories ever in Kingdom Come (also one of the greatest comics ever in general) and Birthright and seems like he might just repeat the feat here with what could be the definitive Superman-Lex story.

A really strong 9 out of 10, this one. I wasn't sure about splashing out 7 bucks for it, but now that I've read it I think it's worth every cent. Mark Waid writes a great Superman and Lex, and Bryan Hitch delivers the goods with some truly stunning art. When he's firing on all cylinders, it's a joy to behold. I also want to shout out Kevin Nowlan who does a great job inking Hitch's pencils.

Epic

This book feels like pre-Crisis continuity, and I love it. Lex lives in Smallville as a young teen, hates everyone but Clark, etc. I wish Mark Waid could write Superman full time.

Really enjoyed this issue. It's a great origin story for a character Mark Waid co-created years ago.
