"As can be noted from my comments above, any book that will make you think or react makes for an interesting read and ‘Superman And Philosophy’ succeeds in doing thatOne should always be glad that Superman sees himself as the good scout otherwise the DC Earth would truly be hell."  (SFCrowsnest.org.uk, 1 June 2013)

“And this delightfully appealing tome does exactly that…”  (Comics Review, 25 April 2013)
