The Man of Steel by Brian Michael Bendis

Brian Michael Bendis’s 2018 relaunch of The Man of Steel was a bold DC miniseries that reintroduced Superman for a new era, with Ivan Reis and Jay Fabok providing the sweeping, cinematic artwork. Over its single, tightly-plotted issue, Bendis set the stage for his signature dialogue-driven storytelling and high-stakes cosmic threats, redefining Clark Kent’s place in the DC Universe. This series matters as a pivotal reset that modernized Superman’s mythos while honoring his classic heroism.
