His beautiful art work and excellent story-telling ability make these comics a JOY to read!

Byrne's art in Volume 1, however, was not what I was used to from his previous work.
That appears to have changed in Volume 2, as Byrne cleans up Superman nicely. The stories ... Read More
Rating: - Great Start For The Post-Crisis Superman Titles!
What you need to know before reading this book:
1) Superman stories published from 1938 to 1986 (commonly called "Pre-Crisis Superman") were wiped out of continuity and is no longer part of the Superman Canon.
2) An event called "Crisis on Infinite Earths" cleaned up DC Comics continuity and recreated the DC Universe in 1985/6. All comics from that point to the present are referred to as the "Post-Crisis" stories.
3) The "Post-Crisis" Superman began with ... Read More
