An ingenious reimagination of a beloved character that loses sight of what makes Superman narratives so engaging.

This book was okay . I have read the whole DC icons series . This book was my least favorite.

I actually found the concept really interesting, dealing with undocumented migrates for a Superman novel is super interesting! However, there were just a bunch of things that added up on why I didn't want to read it. :/

I need to mention (like with the last ones) that I'm not a big superhero fan and can't do much with superpowers and supervillains. The fun part about these books, that for me it's not about that. It's about the human behind those powers, about how they became what they became and what triggered their development, and that's something that I do think is incredibly interesting. Superman does just as good a job as the other books in this series with letting us in Clark's head when he's slowly developing his powers, with him watching the racism in his community and what that means for him when he finds out he's not a white man. Really loved this! (also the very actual background with stop and search laws that will be based on race, undocumented workers and racism? Loved it!!)

I think the book was great and entertaining; the topics discussed in the book are more relevant than ever in these times.
I didn’t love the changes between writing LuthorCorp and LutherCorp. Seeing it written as Luther has always been a pet peeve of mine.

I read this with every love for DC. And while I enjoyed the story I felt like I had stepped into an episode of the tv series "Smallville". Superman is the second best male superhero for me (first is Batman) and this story is a good addition to whoever wants to have a dose of the good old days.

Smallville, Kansas
Good pacing & action. Some underage drinking, violence
