Reviews from the web

From Polygon: Bendis and Reis keep the focus of Superman #18 tight on his loved ones, ending the issue before we get any hint at the world’s reaction, and it’s the best way they could have framed something this monumental. In a genre that has a “nothing will ever be the same” twist every other month or so, it’s easy for readers to get tired and cagey with the announcement of each one. Superman #18 does an end run around all of that, by taking a headline and making it human.

From GeekDad: Superman #18 is the issue DC has been building towards for a while, as Superman reveals his secret identity to the world. The problem, and this is something writer Brian Michael Bendis and the DC PR team has had to address, is that this is not the first time this story has been done. An elaborate New 52 story had Superman’s identity exposed by Lois Lane, to very mixed reviews. So what do you do when the story you want to do has already been told in the wrong way? Simple – you do it the right way, and that’s exactly what Bendis and Ivan Reis do with this fantastic character-driven issue. Bendis smartly keeps the focus exactly where it should be – on the characters most important to Superman and how they influence his decision. The story picks up with Superman holding a press conference that will be streamed worldwide, as everyone from his family to the criminals he’s locked up in Stryker’s Island watch. But that scene is spliced with individual scenes as he makes his decision and tells those closest to him first.

From AiPT: This is a monumental issue. Brian Michael Bendis and the entirety of DC Comics have been hyping up this issue as one that will change Superman potentially forever, redefining the character for the generations to come. And, credit to Brian Michael Bendis, the issue does exactly what it promises. Its long-term effects remain to be seen, but this issue does a fantastic job turning over the status quo Superman has had for the majority of his existence in favor of something far more modern.
