When a rocket ship crashes to Earth, its occupant is revealed to be a small boy with incredible powers! Sound familiar? It does to Clark Kent, too - and as Superman he sets out to rescue...another Kryptonian survivor? But he's not alone! The government is also after this powerful child, as is Lex Luthor. In fact, the whole world is in danger - from the boy's parents, escaped Kryptonian super-criminals General Zod and Ursa! This all-new collection is written by Superman director Richard Donner, with Geoff Johns ("Infinite Crisis") and astonishing art by Adam Kubert ("X-Men")! Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - MIXED FEELINGSI love Geoff Jones, I love Dick Donner, and I certainly love Superman. I had high expectations on this comic, but I can't help but think that this is overly an incomplete comic. The art is amazing!. They focus on the background more that the actual characters, making this something really fun to watch. The story is good also; leave you with some taste of Superman: The Movie and Superman II... Dick Donner, ladies and gentlemen!!. Regarding the story though, it really ... Read More Rating: - An Awesome Superman Story"Last Son" takes what could be a disaster and transforms it into a wonderful story. The "Superson" concept sounds like a terrible idea altogether, but the way it's presented here is just amazing. It does a wonderful job of intertwining it with the characters as they exist in the current DCU and is a very entertaining story. Zod's involvement is well done and there's a Mon-El cameo for you Legion fans. And Luthor, Parasite, and Metallo get some of the action as well. This also has plot points ...

They come up with a young character with a big heart and enough wisdom, you would THINK he's older than what he is. The graphics are great, especially the 3-D pages from the Phantom Zone. So if you love comics, if you love Superman and if you think Geoff and Richard are geniuses... then buy this! Rating: - Good For What It Is I GuessLast Son is a nice little story, but I'm kind of sad that it didn't take place in the movie universe. I would have rather seen Donner's take on what happened after the second film. Instead, it's a seperate story where Zod and Kal-El have not met before. Overall, it was a nice little story, but it could have been longer. Chris is a nice addition to the Superman mythology. If you want a fast little Superman story, I'd recommend this. With time, the plot could have been way more in depth than it is and it had ... Read More Rating: - An instant super-classic!Superman Last Son is a surprisingly rollicking good romp of superhero goodness and a pretty fun and memorable superman story to boot. And believe me, in the long publishing career of this character, there are surprisingly (that word again) few excellent, memorable comic epics involving the Man of Steel, making Last Son all the more special. Although not a perfect collection, (I'll get to that in a bit), this story is definitely worth owning if you're a) a Superman fan; b) a Superman the Movie or Richard Donner ...
