Superman and Superboy. Father and Son. Truth, Justice, Family! Rocketed from his dying homeworld as an infant, he became his adopted planet’s greatest champion. Then he and his family—his wife, Lois Lane, and their son, Jonathan Kent—narrowly escaped the destruction of their entire universe. They emerged on a new Earth, where a younger, brasher breed of superheroes held sway. And when the valiant young Superman of this strangely familiar reality fell in the line of duty, the original Man of Steel stepped out of the shadows to take his place. Now, in addition to battling threats from around the world and across the universe, Superman must fight to earn the trust of his newly adopted planet’s other protectors—as well as his curious small-town neighbors. Most of all, he must teach young Jonathan how to harness his ever-increasing abilities and wield them in the service of truth and justice—as a child of two worlds, this grandson of Krypton’s potential is rivaled only by the dangers he will face. From the New York Times bestselling creative team of Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason comes a celebration of family and heroism. Featuring every story from their modern-day classic for the first time in a single hardcover edition, the Superman by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason Omnibus collects the team’s adventures from Superman #1-25, #27-28, #33-39, #42-45, Superman Annual #1, Superman: Rebirth #1, Superman Special #1, Action Comics #975-976, #1000, Super Sons #11-12, and Teen Titans #975-976.

I loved the first half of the omnibus with Superman's son's introduction to all of the characters of the DC Universe. While latter half's plot didn't grip me as much, I stuck around for the touching moments between Superboy and his friend and family. Superman learning to be a dad and the son of Superman learning to be just that make for some very endearing coming-of-age stories, not the biggest, baddest, most consequential Superman stories, no world-ending threats or anything along those lines, but heartwarming, cozy, sitcom-esque adventures.
Particular stand out issue is the one where Lois, Clark, and Jon all go to the fair as a family. Adorable stuff.
