Another entertaining stack of adventures from the Man of Tomorrow (which is what I want part 2 of Man of Steel to be called).

While I may have given volume one of The Superman Chronicles a few extra points for being able to see the very origins of our favorite Man of Steel, with volume two, it's really mostly more of the same.
I mean, it's great to see early Siegel and Shuster Supes and he's still very much the same character he is today, I think, maybe more than people realize... Even if he IS only mostly chasing human felons, rather than other aliens, dimension hoppers, or any of the other supernatural villains we're used to seeing him apprehend in today's books.
There is still that sense of "do what's right now matter what", so Superman, by and large, in my humble opinion, is still Superman.
I'd recommend this to Superman lovers/completists like myself, those trying to bone up on Golden Age comics, and fans who wanna see where the superhero books of today came from.

Great old-timey Superman adventures. It's entertaining how much harder his job appears to be when he can't fly yet. Chasing gangsters out of town and protecting Metropolitan tenements from slum lords is where the big man got his start in the 40s.

I think Superman takes some getting used. It is nice that he fights regular criminals in a way that isn't boy scouty. Ultra is an interesting villain. The back promised Lex Luthor
