A Whole Planet of Super Hot Guys

Last issue (review#2) Superman escaped from the military base to return to his apartment in Metropolis.this issue starts off with Clark reliving the last moments of Krypton in a dream...

Good:

There's a white dog/ ghost watching over you? What does that mean? A look at superman's origins has been expected for some time now. It also does a great job of showing Clark second guessing if what he is doing is really any good. Fortunately his land lady gives him a little reassurance (otherwise this would be a very short series).

I loled when Clark made that crack about pens being easier for him to list XP as if He has trouble lifting anything!

Bad:

A very Clark Kent heavy issue, but I suppose it is needed. Are both his parents (adoptive) dead now? I can't tell

Other:

I like how superman is keeping his his morals and not selling out for money. I also think Lois maybe the one tipping off Clark(just a guess)

Verdict:

This issue is mostly set-up and filler, but I liked it and it was drawn/written well (as always). I am also please that Superman is getting his first villain aside from Luther.

One of the interesting things that writers of other mediums - and I'm largely thinking of George Lowther who wrote for the Superman radio shows as well as the first Superman novel - did was make Su...

I love this book. Issue #3 was my favorite yet. Clark’s rivalry with Glen Glenmorgan is at the heart of this series, and you have to understand it to appreciate it. In my opinion, the worst trait humanity carries from generation to generation is greed. It’s at the heart of the greatest injustices on the face of this planet. In the Congo, rebel factions tear each other to pieces over conflict minerals that power our favorite electronics while the people live in extreme fear and poverty. One of th...
