Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

George Newbern's narration is the perfect complement to Weldon's writing. He captures the joy and wonder of Superman's story, making even the densest analyses engaging. The pacing is spot-on, never lingering too long on any one era. However, some of the more obscure comic references might fly over casual listeners' heads. Overall, it's a fantastic listen, especially for Superman fans looking for a fresh perspective.
