Ratings and reviews

Why is there no option for a return? I tried downloading the graphic novel to my phone and tablet but all I see are blank pages. Total rip off stay clear.

I loved the action, some story about Tyrrell's world doesn't make sense, but it was so enjoyable as it was so close to the origin of Man of Steel movie, but more hip, more balanced with dialogue. The Front page story by Clark Kent was pure gold! A very enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed both volume one and two. I can't wait for the next one. It isn't cannon content but I don't really care. If you like superman I'm sure you will like this.
