I really wanted to like it, but it's choppy storytelling and ho hum villain...yeah...World: The art is okay, it's a bit inconsistent but overall I like it. The world building is okay, with Lex Superman doing so much in three books this was a bit of a stretch and the villain of this book whose motivation was good but the design was just weird. The world is solid but also a bit choppy in places.Story: The story in concept is interesting with the idea of two Superwomen making it kinda fun. Then we

5 starsRIP Lois Lane. Hope Lana will be okay. Also hope they stopped Ultrawoman. How is Lex able to be Superman? Wonder why people trust him. Would be good to save Lena.Can't wait to read Superwoman volume 2!!!!

Filled with new characters who are never properly introduced, old ones so transformed you can't care about them, and a plot that is disconnected from everything else going on in the Rebirth universe when it really shouldn't be.

A cluttered mess of a book, I'm afraid, and not especially worthy of your time. Avoid.

This has a lot of promising elements in it. 1) 2 female leads 2) Fantastic writer 3) diverse cast 4) 2 lesbian characters and 5) pretty good artwork. Unfortunately, something about the plot didn't quite work for me.It starts out with Lois and Lana working together. Already, this is a welcome change from some Superman works where they just exist to fight each other over Clark. I have read summaries about what happened to New 52 Superman and I still can't tell you what happened. All I know is that...

This was awesome! Lois Lane and Lana Lang as Superwomen facing off against a new and terrifying Ultrawoman is the actual Superman book we've always needed, and Phil Jimenez knocked it out of the park! This is way up there with my other favorite Rebirth titles (Batman and Wonder Woman), and I can't wait to read more (and am very sad to hear about its impending cancellation).

A bunch of characters I really didn't care about and the ones I do care about weren't that fun to read here.

The Superwoman comic is almost the definition of a squandered opportunity.I mean, it's got a great premise of Lana Lang being a Superwoman and having to react to the death of her superly cohort, nuLois Lang. SuperLana has a great visual. Finally, the usage of Lena Luthor as a villain is terrific, both for the balance with Lana and for the secrets it reveals about Lex's past.The problem is that artist Jimenez doesn't really seem to have the chops to be a strong writer. The story is overstuffed, w...

I can see why this is rated so low. This wasn't the absolute worst Rebirth title, but it's certainly no where near the best either. It's just kinda.... mediocre. It has a lot of interesting elements to the story, but then they are bogged down by boring ones and it just kinda makes the story neither great/memorable nor bad enough to hate read it. It's kind of sad really, there was so much waisted potential. I'll read the next trade, but if it's not any better I won't continue with this series.

Normally I think we get a little more exposition in a "Vol. 1" -- I felt like I was playing catch-up with some storylines, most of which were probably from the last Superman cycle, which I hadn't read.But the art is classical and bright and clean, the plot was interesting, and the title irresistible. I really enjoyed the read, but did find the big fight scene to be a little anticlimatic. Wonder Woman fighting the Titan in the Power Couple series did a better job, I think, of conveying a truly ex...

'Superwoman, Volume 1: Who Killed Superwoman' by Phil Jimenez is a story that seemed like it should be interesting, but it took me a long time to work my way through it.In the new Rebirth universe, Superman is gone. In his place, Lex Luthor has power armor and wants to be the new Superman. There is also a Superwoman. Actually two. Lois Lane and Lana Lang have discovered they have powers. They are untrusting of Lex Luthor. Also, Lois' powers seem to be killing her. It may be up to Lana and a few

This is a big-fat-mega-bad 1 star for me. It would be a did-not-finish as well, except it came highly recommended from a friend whose book and comic tastes I greatly respect, so I was determined to stick it out and see if the ending would change my mind.It didn't.The whole thing is really bad.Pretty much all around.Superwoman, Volume 1: Who Killed Superwoman? is DC's reintroduction to Superwoman for their Rebirth event. There are two Superwomans, but one is quickly killed and the rest of the boo...

look, i get that this series isn't everyone's cup of tea... but i, goodreads user lanalang,

I can't believe I wasted more than an hour of my life reading this garbage.First off, the gall to create two characters called Super Woman, just so you can fridge one in the first issue is astonishing. Second, the changes made to Lana Lang from a smart and independent and stable woman to a pill-popping almost-addict with no self-esteem and the utter inability to be honest with anyone is terrible. Third, this reads like it's part of a crossover, except there isn't anything it crosses over with -

I’ve come across A LOT of dire, depressingly shitty books as I’ve made my way through DC’s Rebirth line and after finishing each one I’ve naively thought to myself “Well, that’s the worst of the bunch, that’s the bottom of the barrel - nothing’s gonna be worse than (Blank)!” The first was Aquaman. And then along came Nightwing. And then Titans. And then it snowballs as you realise in horror that most of the line is utter garbage. Deathstroke. Hellblazer. Cyborg. Blue bloody Beetle. Seeing as I’m...

168 pages. Collects issues 1-7 of Superwoman 2016-2017.ART: 4+ stars (includes work by Emanuela Lupacchino, one of the best)STORY: 2 stars (average)VERDICT: 3+ suns.

Damn it, I really wanted to like this. Throughout my whole time reading this, my opinion bounced back and forth like a tennis match. There were moments of genius, others of absolute confusion, and some of complete despair. First, the art in it is very nice. Loved the new looks for the Superwomen and it's rather clean and colourful. Unfortunately some of this was lost in what I found to be a complete mess at times when it came to the execution of action sequences. Honesty, on more than one occasi...

I just couldn’t bring myself to sit and read this one, I just couldn’t get into it. The action seemed promising. The plot seem promising, but it was just rather boring for me. I’ve never really been a fan of Superwoman, so maybe it was something to do with that.I didn’t like the characters, I didn’t enjoy where the plot wa...

A good attempt that just doesn't quite get it done. This is one of DC's second tier books for me.http://fedpeaches.blogspot.com/2017/1...

An absolute slog to get through. You'd think someone who started off as an artist first would tell a story visually but you can barely even see the art with the amount of exposition on the page. Jimenez puts Chris Claremont to shame. The book is filled with all this techno babbley, psuedoscience nonsense. But the art is very good.Both Lois Lane and Lana Lang have become Superwoman even though their costumes and powers are different. Lois almost immediately gets killed until she comes back as a g...
