(Finished April 13, 2015)
Loved bringing Superman into the modern age. Plot holes (old
and new) neatly filled; Clark has an appealing complexity and isn't always
immune to temptation (though this isn't massively, oppressively grimdark like
the most recent movies). But his life will show him the way—he seems to have
faith in that, and as the reader, I'm happy to concur—and he will learn that
there are no simple choices.
Oh, and the artwork. So gorgeous. A thousand times I have
picked up a graphic novel based on the gorgeousness of the cover art and been
disappointed by clunky, unimaginative, and even amateurish drawing throughout
the body of the story. Not so here. Of course the cover is still the most
fully-realized image in the book, but thought and care and skill have been
applied throughout.
Not a DC person? Maybe this series will change your mind.
Don't know what that means? This is a great entry-point into that universe.
Four stars, and high hopes that the whole series will amount to five.
