The wholesome! Sweet, nostalgic, but not saccharine.
Jeph Loeb's four outsider POVs provided great reflections on just-starting-out Superman as a character. Tim Sale managed to draw the Man of Steel as simultaneously an absolute unit and cuddly. Lex Luthor is given enough complexity (⚠️referenced child abuse) that even as an over the top villain, you get a glimpse at how he justifies his motivations. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 I fear Lana Lang is outside my knowledge, such that I don't know if this version of her is too simplified.
Lois Lane, in addition to her perspective on Superman, does provide comical moments in her interactions with Clark Kent.
It's hard for anything to top Batman in the DCU, for me, but I did highly enjoy this. ⚠️ plot point of deadly virus hitting respiratory system; if reading about such things post-2020 upsets you, be aware.

Kal-El may have been born on Krypton, but Clark Kent grew up in the #smalltown of Smallville, Kansas.

Superman for All Seasons is one of those comics you share with people who don't like superhero comics to show them how beautiful and powerful superhero comics can be. Art by the incomparable Tim Sale. #RockinMay

#24in48 well guys...I'm at a modest 3.5 hours so far 😂😋 and I am about to start this. I have recently been into graphic novels and picked this up from the library on my boyfriend's recommendation. So here we go!
