Seems more like a Christopher Reeves style of Superman; I like it. Good to see the classic suit back too.

I am so scared that bendis is going to kill off Jonathan Samuel Kent aka superboy and Lois lane just for shock value

Plus I think people are giving Bendis way too much power at DC...it's NOT marvel and he just got there. With Johns as the CCO (a position he didn't have before the new 52 was shoved on us) I think even Bendis will have to play by the John's rulebook (at least for the foreseeable future)

I am really loving his take on Superman! He just feels so awesome and it puts a smile on my face

Love the art and the storytelling. That large panel without words is a nice emotional touch. But no John and Lois is not something I am into they have been apart of Supermans growth as a character. Still, it's early days so we'll see. So keep me posted, Stan. Thanks.

The art was definitely strong, especially when it came to Rogol Zaar. Giving him an entire page to just be crushed by the black in his cave and the decision of the "council". I wasn't expecting that but it was a pleasant surprise.

Rogol Zaar seems to take his responsibility very seriously and with a lot of passion also answering to a council he is like a flip Brainiac who is logical and answers to no one. I wonder if they would get along.

I loved Man of Steel #1, but I still wish they didn’t bring back the red underwear. The previous costume was the best modern take on a iconic look.

I like it, some panels have speach bubbles that could have work better without them (how can Superman talk while using Freeze Breath?) But we know Bendis loves talking so it's fine.

That was one of the small touches I really enjoyed.

Gotta admit, it was pretty good. Glad that Bendis did not destroy the marriage (yet). He only had Lois and John kidnapped, so, for now I guess, that's ok. However, there are a few details that were kind of annoying. Like Metropolis has only 3.2 million citizens? God dammit Bendis, you're off by like 8 million people. And Kryptonians were never fans of space traveling from what I heard. That aside, I liked the dialogue, and the storytelling.

I was pretty sure that they banned space travel entirely, which is why they denied Jor-El the ability to save all the Kryptonians. One of the things that seems to be getting retconned.

Norman Smith56 The conversation made by Rogol and the holograms probably happened way before, if not right before Krypton banned space travel. Something probably happened along the way before that, and then it continues to the banning of space exploration, Zod's rebellion and Krypton civil war, then the destruction of Krypton.

Norman Smith56 A city with 11 million people in it is ridiculous for America. New York is the most populous city in America at slightly over 8 million people and seeing as how Gotham and Metropolis are generally written as being near one another and New York exists in DC comics, it only makes sense to have a much lower population. Also, Kryptonians weren't always against space travel, for a time they travelled the galaxies and be it that Kryptonians were xenophobic and supremacists they were likely quite cruel to other alien species.

Second video I've seen on this comic. I am for the first time interested in superman since man of steel. Making superman more relatable as this comic seems too is pretty cool!

Man Of Martin this isn't a new take. Superman has always been this interesting. Whats new is possibly talking Lois and Jon away

Okay. So I have some thoughts. The art was gorgeous. I'm interested in Rogol's arc, but I hope they stick the landing with him. The two previews to this arc we've had didn't impress me at all, and I think removing Lois and Jon is a mistake they need to rectify as soon as possible. I also don't know how to feel about these new "love-interest"-esque characters he's introduced. I'm cautiously optimistic because I really want this to succeed but after the awesome Tomasi/Gleason run that just ended Bendis is going to have to do a lot to get to that level.

I think that is a pretty common viewpoint and something I would agree with. We aren't sure what happened with Jon and Lois yet so I will wait to see what Bendis has for an explanation. He has a this mini series, as well as the first issues of Superman and Action Comics to really hook me.

Love the channel though! Great work as always.

I thought it was a good start. The artwork is pretty spectacular and most of all, I appreciated that we're getting a villain who actually has a motive that can be understood, and not some mindless vehicle of destruction. I too am curious about Lois & Jon but I can be patient on that score - for now. A solid introduction and I'm on board for what comes next. Thanks as always, Stan!

I never had any concerns about the art, as the lineup for Man Of Steel is filled with superstars. It is nice to have a villain with some depth. It's promising for sure.

I just wish they kept the mostly blue suit with the blue boots and the red trim. I am a fan of that costume. But this one is okay

I agree with you , i thought it was an okay start just thought we would get a bit more info on zar .

It will be a slow trickle of information on the villain, regardless of whether it is a good or bad thing.

a most interesting book here. It up close personal look at The Man of steel. going have ask my store if they got me down for this.

So retains within the first issue? How many different types ways can Krypton get destroyed?

Man of Steel #1 is a pretty good start to Brian Michael Bendis's run on Superman. It isn't an amazing story, but it does its job of setting up future themes for the run on the character and does enough to make you interested in reading the rest of the series, and the art was gorgeous and fit the book really well. Hopefully, the story gets more interesting and exciting with each issue, but for now, I'm on board with it.

It is definitely a good start to his run. It didn't blow me away, but it is a palette cleanser, meant to transition us into Bendis' story. Hopefully he has something to say that we can all connect with.

It’s a Good book and presents a story that has potential but it didn’t blow me away like some other people. Looking forward to see what else is in store tho.

Its just the beginning, but I can say without hyperbole that its my favorite single issue of a Superman book since the beginning of the DCYou initiative. Its been a long few years for me.

@Jay-eq9gb

Admittedly a lot of what goes into this is not how immaculate this issue way (I felt it was a very good start, but its not automatically all-time yet or anything), but rather how poor I thought Rebirth was overall. That's not a popular stance, but its been mine. Tomasi/Gleason fell off around Black Dawn and never recovered. That arc's resolutions were underwhelming and started a trend the rest of the few other big arcs ending with thuds, and this is also around the time that last-minute fill-ins provided too much filler like the abysmal Road Trip storyline and the ultimately pointless Deathstroke story. Further, to me it perpetuated too much of a perfect lifestyle for Superman and family that bordered on the saccharine. It also foused WAY too much on Jon at the expense of the main character. Meanwhile Jurgens' run, pre Superman Reborn it had to deal with the dual Superman situation which I just felt was an absolute awful way to go with Rebirth. They should have never killed off one Superman and introduced another. They should have just reincorporated the history for the singular character like the rest of the DCU. Dealing with that nonsense (something Tomasi and Gleason on the other hand largely got to ignore) severely hurt the quality and immersion of the stories. Superman Reborn would eventually fix this to some degree, and the book got better, but even then I felt it was just average. It felt mostly like a rehash of the triangle era. Which I enjoyed at the time but I didn't really need to revisit it. MOS on the other hand is tackling the hardships of Superman with a family, which is only appropriate as there's no way Superman can have a normal family life. Just no way. Its showing an interest in fleshing out the supporting cast of Metropolis, which has been sorely missed for a long time (as long as it doesn't go overboard like the late 90s). And on top of that we've got some solid early mysteries going that for now, have my interest. Its one issue, of course the direction is an open book right now, and its impossible to directly compare one run which is essentially just two prologues and one issue in, to two others that are completed at circa two years worth of double-shipped stories. But for all the above reasons, the beginning has grabbed me more and with way less baggage than the beginning of Rebirth.

@DetailComics

6 жыл бұрын

A well constructed and thought out reason. I can completely understand why this would be much more appealing to you than some of the other titles that came before it. Some of the storylines (like the Deathstroke one) were constructed by other writers, but as they are a part of the run it does add some areas of weakness to Rebirth Superman as a whole. I don't think your stance is an unpopular one; simply different. A lot of readers responded to the familial aspect of Superman in Rebirth because it brought the character in a direction we hadn't seen before. He was a father, a husband and while it may have been overly rose colored in some cases, it was a pretty stark contrast to what Superman was in the new 52. Action Comics was touch a go for me, regardless of which arc in Rebirth you are talking about, but I hope MOS and Bendis' new run on Superman and Action deliver for you. I am interested to see where the supporting cast of Metropolis comes into play, as long as they don't overshadow Superman in the same way you feel Jon took the focus off of Superman. After all, we all just want to read the best story we can.

That makes sense. I didn't place them as the Quintessence at first glance because the members don't seem to be the same. Must be the difference in time.

I see the same problem as the Supergirl tv series. Krypton is shown as an advanced planet interacting with other alien races. Then why did they all die when Krypton exploded?

This was good I like it.

It was ok. I actually didn't enjoy the superman parts. The rogul zaar parts were much more interesting. Also I didn't get the transition from staring at the picture to the flashback. When I first read it I thought it was a continuation of the scene. I only understood it later when I read the solicit that said Clark is dealing with the tragedy that happened to Louise and Jon

It feels a bit forced based on his previous reactions. Like there is some sort of ultimatum keeping him from just going after them. It needs to be something that he doesn't have a solution for, so it better be damn good.

Why are the trunks back? Urrg 2 step forward now 3 step back

Could this be a way to go back to the whole last son of kripton ?

Man of Steel the movie seems better. This is predicated on comic tropes like it's aware of how campy its supposed to be. I really enjoyed snyders version because there was no automatic grooming Clark in to being a super hero. His parents didn't hav all the answers. The worlds introduction to superman wasn't on his terms but Zods. I also thought that Reeve's superman was never the real superman. His powers are completely down played due to the restrictions on technology at the time. But if Reeve's had Cavill's powers along with his enemies... his superman would of logically went down the path Snyder's superman did.

Art is good and I can see the story doing some good but from what Bendis says he wants to do with Superman is honestly lazy.

It was okay at least not something that deeply impressed me. Some concerns from this Rogul zaar character tied into Krypton’s destruction and the way he’s subtly treating the Kent family which is to me why Superman’s rebirth run was good because of the family element. Hope Bendis doesn’t pull another “ messing the status quo” ploy like he’s done before.

Nice Comic. But The trunks look lame.

The story was ok. A 3 out 5. Nothing special at all. The art was great, BUT the stupid trunks ruined it for me. I didn't feel like I was reading a comic from 2018. It felt like I was in the 80s and thats not good. Bendis keeps hashtagging thetrunksareback like thats a good thing. And so many people that are stuck in the past or just have underwear fetishes keep cheering him on. I love Superman, but man I hope this fails so they shake things up again and bring the trunkless suit back. They need to update things and not go backwards.

There’s something off. It feels more like Bendis is making Superman be less real and more ... dumb. Smh.

Please, let's have a petition to remove Superman red trunks! He really looks dumb!

For the love of God can they please remove the trunks, I cannot stand superman wearing his underwear on the outside of his costume.
