Prologue
I'm excited by the Zero Month. It's a good opportunity to see our heroes in a new, unexpected way: as fallible human beings. In this issue, we learn about Superman's early apperances in Metropolis. It's not in an epic level as Superman and the Men of Steel, but it allows us to know about Clark before his big days as Metropolis' protector.
New events include his friendship with Jimmy Olsen, his first meeting with Lois Lane, and the story of how a boy took Superman's cape. Sure, the story was fun but the premise was a bit silly. Basically, Superman is unconscious and some random kid takes his cape. Hey, kid, it doesn't matter if that person is incapacitated, it's wrong to steal his belonging. Heheheh.
The other story focuses on Captain Comet, the Forgotten Superman. A boy finds a research document on Captain Comet and decides to find him, believing that he has the key to unlock humanity's evolutionary advancement. Needless to say, he finds more than he imagined.
The stories are well-written and allow you to immerse yourself deeper into the Superman universe. I hope Grant Morrison can expand his story. He never stops surprising us. As we all know, he is leaving the title in Issue $16, I hope he can deliver.
That's it. Good reading!
