The reason I give this four stars is because of the beautiful illustrations. Love the old-style Superman and pictures of Smallville and Metropolis. Artwork is tremendous! Now, for the story, I do not really like. Everything up to Metropolis was just wonderful. But then Superman battles some of the weirdest villains, some guy that can make people do stuff and then Lex Luther has the most insane plot I ever heard to then force Superman out of Metropolis. Lois Lane is beautiful in this book but ... Read More

Superman for All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Time Sale was the May selection for my Graphic Novel Discussion Group. It wasn't your typical spandex-wearing superhero adventure story. The story actually gets underneath the costume to the actual "character" of the character; in other words, what makes Clark Kent, Superman. Why he has all these amazing abilities, and uses them for the benefit of others and not for his own well-being.
Told originally over the course of 4 issues, each during one ... Read More

After reading the entire novel, it is easy to see why one of the people the book is dedicated to is Norman Rockwell.

What can I say about Jeph Loeb? He's basically the best comic book writer there is, especially when you remove ALan Moore and Frank Miller and MacFarland from the equation. Much like he did with Batman, Loeb creates an origin story (though one we knew, but it is a new take) for Superman. I think Loeb finally taps into the stories we knew Superman had in him (see Superman/Batman vol 1 and 3). And while the art is different from the early storiesa, Tim Sale pays homage to them. A definite for any Superman fan, ... Read More

I suppose overall you would call this a sweet story.
A lot of wishful thinking here too, I suppose, for nice little rural towns that used to be.
Clark Kent movies to Metropolis, and things are going ok, until his treatment of Lex Luthor and having him arrested leads Luthor to try something that Superman's powers really can't stop.
This leads to the man questioning the Superman, and needing some small town time.
The dog is very cool, too.
