desertcart.com: Superman: The Man of Steel Vol. 1: 9781779504913: Byrne, John, Byrne, John: Books

Review: Superman’s Fresh Start - Such a great read! This is the perfect starting point for a new Superman reader. Each character is reintroduced for the first time after Crisis on Infinite Earths cleaned the slate for DC. We also get to meet new characters such as Cat Grant, Professor Hamilton and Bibbo for the first time. For a more in-depth reading experience, I highly recommend reading John Byrne’s ‘The World of Krypton’ after reading this book.
Review: One of the best Superman comic runs in DC history - As I'm sure fellow longtime Superman fans will agree, it is a rare thing to find an excellent run of Superman comics by the same author. There are many great one off stories, but many authors struggle to know how to write Superman. Many just can't seem to find actual threats for the Man of Steel to face, and end up writing a boring one-dimensional character flying around and punching things. Enter John Byrne. As the Man of Steel 6 issue mini series rebooted the Superman continuity, Byrne was able to reinvent Superman a little. He seems a little more sure of himself than past incarnations, and not quite as powerful, helping Byrne craft more suspense than previously found in Superman comics. Simply put, this is an excellent collection of one of the best Superman runs in DC comics history, it shows a vulnerable yet capable Man of Steel, with interesting and layered villains. Byrne's art is also fantastic, and still stands out all these years later. It's nice to see that a great writer/artist actually stuck with Supes for a significant amount of time, and we finally have an omnibus to prove it.
