Superman Vol. 1: Son Of Superman (Rebirth)

Honestly, it's just a pleasure to see Superman embody all the things I like about the character once again.The morose, gritty mould that serves Batman so well does a disservice to the man of steel; Superman is bright and colourful - a symbol of hope as well as being emblematic of the best a man can be, and if this opening volume is anything to go by, Superman is headed in a positive direction full steam ahead. An engaging story of a family man (who can crack planets in half) defending those closest to him from an otherworldly menace with a twisted fixation with kryptonian eugenics is told with humour, beautiful art and a flair for dialogue from a writer that clearly understands the character and has - at long last - a solid direction to take him in.Highly recommended - I can't wait to see where the series goes next.

A solid start to the rebirth era. Great art and great story, the family dynamic is pure gold. Not only have they brought the original superman back, they have made him more relatable than ever which has been a problem over recent years. We can't relate to an alien with almost limitless power and invulnerability but we can relate to a husband and father trying to do right by his family. Can't wait for volume 2!

Cool book, but I'm not sure that I will continue this series.

A strong start for Superman Rebirth. Having the original Superman return to the forefront, whilst juggling a family life, is one of best dynamics I've seen in Superman lore. Jonathon Kent (son of Clark and Lois) is a brilliant character and any worries about him annoying the rest of the cast or yourself is alleviated almost immediately. Add to that a fun and urgent story and I'm already looking forward to the next issue.

Superman noob here only ever read the death and return of Superman. So I started off with this rebirth series now where to start first up the artwork is top notch, super man has a son and the family dynamic works really well into the story. I couldn't put it down and had to buy volume two off the bat to get my fix. Fair to say if your new to superman this is good place to start, I'm enjoying the series this far. The delivery was fast also.

fast delivery good quality book ,but disappointed with the storyline of the comic

Love the way it was illustrated and great storyline. Love superman with all his musclebound in action. Especially the last few pages.

Enjoyable comic, well written and drawn. Without being a masterpiece, it is likely to be read many times. It has action, it is fun, has values and delivers a good time while reading it.

The product was received in a good condition

After five years of the love-it-or-hate-it New 52 where DC’s pantheon of superheroes where altering into younger, edgier, and less experienced versions of themselves, DC is has ushered in a new era known as Rebirth. DC’s Rebirth is not about another reboot, but more about honoring and accepting the companies entire 75+ years in comics. This means many of the most loved aspects about these characters has returned in their more approved status. For Superman, the original big-blue boyscout has returned to the forefront and it is one of the best Rebirth titles of the bunch.SUPERMAN VOL.1: SON OF SUPERMAN collects DC COMICS REBIRTH: SUPERMAN and issues #1-6. After the death of the New 52 Superman in  Superman: The Final Days of Superman , the world is without the Man of Steel. The current Superman here hails from the pre-Flashpoint era who married to Lois Lane has entered into the new world after years of staying out of sight. The many years of hiding, Clark and Lois had a son Jonathan who they are trying to raise, also deal with Jon’s emerging superpowers. So trying to keep a strong family bond and teaching Jon life lessons is Superman’s current outlook on life. With things slowly working out for the Kent family in this Rebirth world, an ancient Kryptonian instrument known as the Eradicator is out to bring Krypton back to life with Superman’s son as the key.Because the new REBIRTH era is about installing the older feelings of classic characters, it is a mighty breath of fresh air for many heroes coming off of the 5 years of the edgy and darker NEW 52. Beyond the front cover of his angry glowing red eyes that is here, this is the quintessential Superman that is calm, loving, wise, and just likable again being the family man and farmer. This is helped greatly by the creative team of Peter Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason who did top notch work together on a similar father-son angle in BATMAN & ROBIN in the New 52. The family aspect for Clark, Lois, and Jon can be a bit overly cheerful considering, but for those many people looking for the fuzzy warm feeling of the ideal Superman, it feels pretty great.Tomasi makes a decent balance of the Kent family dealing with the current landscape and world building of the Kents morals and values, with the other parts plenty of action with the big villain of the piece being THE DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN fame The Eradicator (it’s not a spoiler since its in the description and his picture is on the back cover). So fans get a good balance of soft and happy moments of the Kent living on the farm and a good helping of action as the Super-family take on Eradicator to see his beef with Jon’s emerging powers. Additional winks and nods are filled throughout for long time fans to take in, especially a certain Kryptonian canine and Bat-cameo from the creative teams past work on BATMAN & ROBIN.Long time collaborator Patrick Gleason does majority of the issues collected here and his art is topnotch level. Gleason’s cartoony style is vivid and lush with bold 2-page spreads that show the awe and somber moments wonderfully, while diving into action sequences that goes over the top like fighting on the moon! (And maybe even a secret lunar Bat-Cave?). Veteran artist Doug Mahnke does the SUPERMAN: REBIRTH #1 and issue #5 with guest artist Jorge Jimenez doing issue #4.While I am giving Amazon a 5-star rating, it’s more around 4 ½ stars. The first thing is the common flaw among the whole REBIRTH line in that it caters heavily on older fans who know the DC lore and not so much for new readers. I will say SUPERMAN is one of the few that is not so bad for new readership to catch up on, yet it still suffers a bit for explaining things that lead here. So as you to the opening SUPERMAN: REBIRTH #1 getting readers up to speed of who and what has happened to get to this point, there is still a little hazy patch of clarification as to how this Superman came to be (there is a purposeful mystery in the whole REBIRTH universe about this in other series that look like they will be answered in the future. If you want a good prelude on this Superman, read  Superman: Lois and Clark ). Even this version of The Eradicator is explained almost as if readers should already know who he/it is (Tomasi does give a new/extended origin so its not too bad). Beyond the introduction for new readers, the overall story near the middle does get a little stale and the Eradicator could have been a little better done.Beyond the gripes, for old school fans that want out of the dark and broody Man of Steel that the New 52 and current films have shown, SUPERMAN under the REBIRTH banner is a return to glory for the big blue boy scout. It has plenty heart, nostalgia, action, and great art to give fans that feeling they have longed for some time. It may not be breaking ground in terms of Superman stories, alas Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason’s work on The Man of Tomorrow is one of the strongest REBIRTH titles to show the return to DC’s roots and good sign of things to come. *Cue John Williams famous 1978 theme music* Superman: The Final Days of SupermanSuperman: Lois and Clark

Un comic con el que disfrutas con el dibujo y la historia, el equipo Tomasi y Gleason es una maravilla, además con la participación de varios artistas que le dan un toque nuevo y antiguo a Superman y dan ganas de saber más tanto de él como de Jon "Superboy".Además tuve la gran oportunidad de que uno de sus dibujantes me hiciese un detalle con su firma y un dibujo de Superman.
