And yet we rarely ask ourselves how we got there or what it might mean for us. Equally intrigued by work's pleasures and its pains, Alain de Botton here heads out into the under charted worlds of the office, the factory, the fishing fleet and the logistics centre, ears and eyes open to the beauty, interest and sheer strangeness of the

If you are reading the description on Amazon, don't worry, it includes the Annual. Not sure why they decided to not mention that detail. You should read Action Comics 1050 before reading this, as it sets up the new status quo for Superman going forward, and is important to know in this book if you're coming from earlier Superman stories. This is pretty interesting stuff so far, a lot of familiar Superman villains are appearing with new twists provided by new players in Metropolis, who seem to have a vendetta against Lex Luthor, or so Lex is claiming. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out in future volumes.

Fun new status quo

This presents a fun New status quo for Superman, as is the norm for a Superman book there's a great supporting cast of characters led by Lois. Excited to dive into the rest of the series and learn more about the secret history of metropolis that they're seeding here.

The art was super good! The story was good as well. It's always nice to see Superman's villains all come together in one book. Some new players as well. I am excited for this series and I am hooked on the story. Do yourself a favor and read it!

Great jumping on point

Format: Kindle

I haven't read Superman in awhile but overall tus was a great place to jump back in. The story is accessible without ignoring continuity. The artwork is very nice and the story moves at a fast oace.
