Looks good. Looking forward to this, hopefully we'll get better antagonists than parasite and Tyrell.
From art, synopsis and previous plots, it seems the villain will be the one that ordered Krypton's destruction, from revealed concept art it seems that someone is probably Zod. And of course the Luthors will be in that too.
@saint_wildcard: I actually thought vol one was better than vol two. Could it be you're just tired of Superman origins.
IDK, don't remember it much. I do love the part where he's going around looking for a job, that was pretty funny. VOlume 2 had more enjoyable moments (like that scene with the dictator and the pimp) IMO, plus I really love that hooker character and the Lexs interest me. I think the villain in both were kinda meh though. .
Probably one of the best weeks recently. The end of two arcs, one of those will feature the new suit and power and the end of a trilogy of OGNs which marks the end of an era for the E1 franchise as a whole, I think V3 is the last book by JMS, I could be wrong though.
I wonder how I'll get annoyed by this latest volume of Superman: Earth One. They've never let me down so far in that regard.
Wow.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion,there isn't anything bad about that,but for sure if you have already made up your mind before it is even released ,if you approach a comic book,or anything else,with this attitude you'll always be displeased by something but in this case the fault isn't in the material probably.

Considering that in the first volume Clark acts with selfish and self interested motives for half the story and in the second volume he hands a dictator over to an angry mob to let them do what they want to him, I fail to see how I can ever be won over by the Superman: Earth One volumes. It's not hard to ignore the core tenants and characteristics of Superman but JMS seems to be doing a good job writing a Superman story with a character that doesn't feel like Superman at all. I hated both the first 2 volumes based on the approach JMS took, I don't see how this one will be any different.
It's not me making my mind up prematurely according to your assessment, it's the poor track record of Superman Earth One thus far that gives me all the justification I need to hold the opinion I do. I don't approach all comics with this attitude but bad comics with bad material are bound to displease me. So I'm afraid I have to correct you here, the fault is in the story material, not in my opinion.
I've looking forward to this. Finally Vol.3 it was about time.
Lisa and Clark seem to be pretty much where they were the last time around. And now Lois is tacking tips from Jim Gordon and using a Superman-signal. That part was lame. I mean, he found out she had been pretty much invading his privacy and she flashes a sign in the sky and he just shows up. I would've left her there all night waiting.
I do hope this time around, his ship has built some sort of fortress, because Vol.2 was very poor in that department.
