Another terrific Superman iteration, though I am beginning to wonder how many origin stories I can handle. I guess as long as they're entertaining...

Art style is a bit messy here, but works for the most part. I did feel a bit uncomfortable with depictions of black/African people, however.

Luthor has never been this threatening, I really dug his and Clark's backstory in Smallville. Some other nice details about how Clark starts as a worldwide investigative journalist before coming to Metropolis, discussions with his parents and his justification for an alter-ego. Nice. ( )

There were some creative changes I dug - like Clark Kent being an established reporter long before Superman came into Metropolis and the journalist donned his hat at the daily planet. This makes more sense of him passing his dual personas off without people catching on. His parents help him make the costume, even with a joke about the glasses not fooling anyone.

I like the connection with both parents living and the e-mails back and forth through the crisis's in The Daily Planet. After the intro of the book where Clark as a journalist finds other heroes in human form in Africa, he comes home for awhile to face some issues with his parents. It gave credibility to the story and their relationship.

I liked the prominent Daily Planet setting, Lois's character, Jimmy, Perry White. I enjoyed Lex was focused on quite a bit but I found a lot of that part rushed. I do like how they made Superman into a 'powerful Superman version' - some wimp him down a bit.

I disliked him not knowing his origins, no fortress, and the rushed feel with the main story-line. It makes sense the city wouldn't trust him fully at first, but the story started losing me a bit after awhile. I also didn't like the whole hack into Krypton thing, just felt weird for me. Lex felt a little hokey.

The art was great, I liked so much focus on heat vision. They captured most of what makes Superman Superman and Clark Clark. Anyone catch the little Batman figurine in one panel when he's in his room? Awesome. There's a little humor too - love the wink he gives Lois as a nod from the movies when they meet, and the Africa selfies e-mailed home to mom.

It's always interesting to see different interpretations of Superman's beginnings - this one took some risks, working with some of them but not pleasing me with others. ( )

Yet another Superman origin story. This time the 03/04 version. It's the basic story of the origin. Superman gets sent shooting away from the dying/destroying itself Krypton in a rocket ship. It lands in Smallville and Martha and Jonathan raise Clark as an Earthman. Then he travels the world and eventually settles in Metropolis. He becomes Superman and the mild mannered reporter for the Daily Planet Clark Kent.

One difference is that Clark knows Lex Luthor when they were teens, though for some reason Lex doesn't remember it. The entire thing is much more Smallville (the TV series) than previous incarnations. The world is more tightly tied together. Another difference that instead of a Fortress or a globe of Krypton all Clark needs to know about his home planet is sort of an en ebook reader like thing.

But, one thing that goes back to pre-Byrne origin is that Superman is the 'real' person and Metropolis Clark is the disguise. I know that that's bee the 'real way' for more often than it hasn't, but, I've always liked the Byrne (and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) way much better so I was a little sad.

Also, I didn't really love the art either. A little too messy. ( )

A modern origin story for Superman that makes sense. I've read many of these origin type of books. The majority of them suck. This is one of the good ones. It keeps a good pace while not getting away from what makes Superman a super man. The writing and art work well together so that you wonder why these two didn't work together more often. ( )
