Peter Tomasi

eBook - 2017

The superstar creative team of Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, Doug Mahnke and a host of comics' most exciting artists proudly present SUPERMAN: THE REBIRTH DELUXE EDITION BOOK ONE-an incredible collection of the all-new adventures of the Man of Steel in this first deluxe collection of the new Rebirth series, exploding from DC's blockbuster Rebirth event! Rocketed from his dying homeworld as an infant, he became his adopted planet's greatest champion. Then he and his family-his wife, Lois Lane, and their son, Jonathan Kent-narrowly escaped the destruction of their entire universe. They emerged on a new Earth, where a younger, brasher breed of superheroes held sway. And when the valiant young Superman of this strangely famil...iar reality fell in the line of duty, the original Man of Steel stepped out of the shadows to take his place. Now, in addition to battling threats from around the world and across the universe, Superman must fight to earn the trust of his newly adopted planet's other protectors-as well as his curious small-town neighbors. Most of all, he must teach young Jonathan how to harness his ever-increasing abilities and wield them in the service of truth and justice-as a child of two worlds, this grandson of Krypton's potential is rivaled only by the dangers he will face. Also includes the SUPERMAN: REBIRTH one-shot.

Review by Library Journal Review

For those familiar with the Superman story lines of DC's "New 52" reboot, this collection may initially confuse. The "Rebirth" series, launching off the end of the "New 52" books, restores the Superman who is married to Lois Lane. Early on in this deluxe edition, which collects Superman Issues 1-13 and the stand-alone Superman: Rebirth, the "new" Superman lives north of Metropolis on a farm with Lois and their young son Jon. Jon knows his father's secret identity and struggles with the use of his own emerging powers. Over several episodes, a battle ensues against the Eradicator, a sort of artificial Superman construct. The Eradicator houses the dead souls of Krypton and is bent on destroying young Jon because of his mixed heritage. Other issues feature a visit to Dinosaur Island and a contentious and humorous yet ultimately friendly and rewarding team-up with Damian Wayne, Batman's son. Verdict Tomasi (Light Brigade), Gleason (Batman and Robin), Mahnke (The Mask), and a host of other artists ably bring these colorful stories to life. The focus on family dynamics, small-town life, a few cameos, and interactions with superheroes such as Batman and Wonder Woman make these rebooted tales inviting and fun. Recommended.-Jeffrey W.
