This entire Tomasi Rebirth Superman run has been on my bookshelf for over a year, I guess I was worried it would not live up to the hype. The hype about Jon Kent’s and Clark’s relationship is real. Great fun read, fun action moments. The real heart of this story is quite family moments.

This was pretty decent and really bridged the gap and gave new Superman readers a great entry point(like me). Yes, there are spoilers for the previous Superman/Justice League from The New 52 but if you aren't too concerned about that, this is a good starting point. If Tomasi didn't do this "summary and explaining" type of issue, I think that a lot of newer readers would be confused. So I highly recommend this issue for people starting Superman.

I really loved the backstory images from the older Superman storylines. They were drawn just so well and really amazed me. I'm just a little hesitant about where this new Superman story might go.
