Superman: The Book of El 3 has my Heart!

It’s New Comic Book Day!

Today I read Adventure of Superman: Book of El 3 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Scott Godlewski, and Alex Guimarães

⭐️Overall rating: 4/5: PKJ knocks it out of the park again. I love his take on Superman, he just gets how much he likes to help. It’s so simple, but it means so much. I also love how much Superman loves being a father, him talking about his kids nearly made me cry. Godlewski’s art was perfectly expressive and lively with Guimarães’ colors. The Brainiac design is top tier. The final letter by Lois Lane made me eager for the next issue. Superman fans, you need to pick this up!!
