This was a big deal at the time, when all these new creative teams took over the Superman books. I found the stories a bit boring for the most part reading them now. They do lay a lot of groundwork for the big stories to come like Our Worlds at War with Imperiex's first appearance here. It all ends with Metropolis being upgraded to the City of Tomorrow by Braniac 13.
I love superman but these are just standard stories that none really link. Joe Kelly's probably the strongest of the bunch simply because he has a fun Clark Kent. I also liked some of Loeb storylines even if the characters lacked...something. Morrison's Superman is pretty terrible. Overall, not horrible but kind of boring. A 2.5 out of 5.
Years and years ago, I had a complete run of Superman comics from 1986 up through June 2000 (8 or 9 months into the Loeb/Kelly tenure). After 14 years of Superman comics, I was dissatisfied with the Loeb/Kelly creative direction and quit the books. When I saw this collection, I got to wondering - Were the books REALLY that bad? Was I just turned off by the change of creative voices, maybe a bit complacent in my acceptance of the previous creatives? So I borrowed this book from the library, and ....
Four stars of pure, uncut nostalgia. This is my favorite era of Superman, because these are the comics I read when I was discovering the character. I wish I could be more objective while reading them, but its impossible.
The first half of it was amazing but the last act was a slog to get through.
The beginning of maybe the best Superman era and a great jumping-on point!
Hhhhoooolllyyyy cow! That got wild!
Hard for me to remain objective about this because this WAS my Superman growing up. Mends a gap in my collection and includes the wonderful “Y2K” crossover in all its dated goodness.
Clark Kent was made in Smallville, but Superman was made in Metropolis.Superman fights to protect Metropolis from various of his enemies, but when Braniac attacks the city on the eve of the Millennium, it is Lex who loses everything when the artificial intelligence takes over his daughter, Lena.This is as much a book about Clark Kent and Lois Lane as it is about Superman and his struggle to evaluate his identity and regain the trust of his fellow citizens. Well written and vibrantly coloured, th...
Lots of fun characterization of Lex Luthor and Lois Lane, but oddly I felt like Superman himself didn't have as much to do in these issues (aside from a great subplot where he trains with Mongul to fight an incoming threat). Obviously a Superman book should make Superman's voice and/or character a compelling part of the story. Also, unlike most modern collections, this feels much more like an anthology than a single story. Recommended mostly if you really like Superman, but even then there are s...
You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.It’s easy to imagine Superman’s life without ever really following him around. With his powers, there’s nothing more you can do than imagine him flying around the city saving kittens from tall trees and beating bad guys whenever they forget the beating they’re doomed to receive. Under his superhero persona, however, lies a man like any other, working a decent job and trying to juggle serious life issues, like what Christmas gift he should get fo...
Mindbogglingly boring.
