Superman: The Man of Steel Vol. 2
by John Byrne
This volume is just about as strong as the first, and I really enjoyed the first!
Again we have a few different writers/artist here. Marv actually comes through this volume and with his "gang" storyline I actually enjoyed a lot of character work. Getting Superman to think hard on his choices in life and how they effect his Clark persona. It helps to introduce Jose, who is "gangbuster" and you guessed he, he bust gangs. But he also is trying to help kids not join these gangs. All together some great stuff.
John also gives Superman some really fun stories. Including a great one where his powers go haywire, and both funny and exciting. Also a great Joker story as well as introducing a nuclear woman. I will also say the Legion story in here? Excellent. Really showcases what Superman is all about and it's trippy enough but still straight forward at the same time.
I will say the "Porn" storyline wasn't as bad as I expected. Outdated? Yes. Silly? Very much so. But it wasn't all that bad.
I will say the circle storyline though? That can end soon, that shit just straight up sucks.
Overall though I'm enjoying the hell out of this run. A 4 out of 5.
