This has been another anthology that is a winner for DC. Every issue has something that is really cool.

The issue starts off with the creative team of writer Judd Winick and artist Ibrahim Moustafa. Together, they start the issue off with a fine story of young Clark and Krypto playing catch. It is utterly fantastic.

The next story is a cool story that feels like it is inspired by the Christopher Reeve Clark Kent. G. Willow Wilson writes a great story for Valentine De Landro to draw. It shows Clark handling a robbery and it is wonderfully done.

Next up, Joshua Williamson writes a cool tale for the always underrated Chris Sprouse to draw. It features Jimmy Olsen giving his perspective on Superman and the events that he likes most that he himself has witnessed. Well done.

Up next, the legendary Mark Buckingham writes and draws as fantastic story.  All it is? Clark leaving Krypton in a rocket ship. It is so well done and compelling that I loved it.

Lastly, we get the always amazing Daniel Warren Johnson writing  and drawing an excellent tale. We get to see Clark and his relationship with the people of Earth and the planet itself. It is wonderful.

It is also a perfect last story for this amazing issue.

RATING: A
