Superman Vol. 5: Hopes and Fears (Rebirth) by Patrick Gleason, Peter J. Tomasi
2.0

While I didn't think this was awful it was pretty average. Which is sad, because been loving this run so far.

So we have three tales. One is basically a gigantic history lesson for Jon to learn about America. Don't get me wrong, cute to see a family doing this, but it dragged on for two whole issues. Then we have a story about Peralax or whatever his name is, and his return to taking over kids. Superman finds him, they get into it, and Senisto comes to the rescue. Then last two issues is Deathstroke playing games with Superman.

Good: The middle stuff was fun enough and I did like Jon's curiosity throughout. I think the art is still great too.

Bad: It was kind of boring and if you skipped it honestly you missed nothing. This is a skippable chapter in the Superman run to be honest.

overall a 2.5. I wish I could say it's worth getting like the rest but it really isn't that great.
