Superman Vol. 3: The Truth Revealed by Brian Michael Bendis
4.0

The truth! AGAIN!

No really. Didn't Superman just get outed like 5 years ago? But that was New 52 Supes. But people still found out he was Clark so....anyway... So now Clark decides to reveal himself personally to the world. And in doing so he expects a "nasty" reaction. But what does he get instead? Happiness? Concern? Well you'll have to read this to find out. This also finishes up the storyline with Jon saying goodbye to Damien before going with the Legion.

I really enjoy when this book focused on Lois and Clark. They're adorable together and feel like a married couple. Clark going to people most important to him before telling the public was a nice twist. Each hero reacting different to clark coming out was pretty great too. The art varies from amazing to just okay. The plotting was confusing as it looked like Superman gets his ass beat at one point then for two issues we go back days prior? Weird. Oh and Benids, I love you, but you got Damien's voice COMPLETELY wrong. His dialogue was weird.

Overall though I can't help but really enjoy the majority of the book because I think Bendis writes Superman himself very well. Super enjoyable and a 4 out of 5.
