DC Revamp Day 8 (6/10): Superman

Top pick of the day: Supergirl
Not interested in:
 
Action Comics #1 - Grant Morrison and Rags Morales 
 
Not a lot of detail is given here, so it's hard to decide how excited I am for this one. The cover is a little silly: showing Superman wearing the practical jeans and sneakers, but still wearing the cape? If they were trying to go with the Superboy jeans and t-shirt look, they might as well have gone all the way. Considering his costume on the cover of Superman #1, I don't think its a big deal, just pointing it out. Other than that, there's not a lot to say on this yet. It's really annoying that they are restarting the numbering, but I'm sure they'll switch it back once they hook their new readers. Grant Morrison is cool, so I'll be interested to see what he has in store for Superman.
 
Superman #1 - George Perez and Jesus Merino
 
I know George Perez has done a lot of art, but I'm not familiar with his writing, so I can't draw much from that. Not much detail given here either except for that this will be a Superman book... so yeah.

Supergirl #1 - Michael Green, Mike Johnson and Mahmud Asrar
 
This one caught my interest. I liked Green's work on Superman/Batman, Smallville and Heroes, so I know he can write. The line that caught my interest was that Supergirl had none of Superman's affection for the people of Earth. This was played at in stories like Amazons Attack and New Krypton, but it will be interesting to see how this is handled in her solo series. I think the costume is good, looks more Kryptonian which probably fits with her new storyline better.
 
Superboy #1 - Scott Lobdell, R.B. Silva and Rob Lean
 
The initial reaction people had to this was "Superboy's a robot now?" It certainly looks that way from the cover, but they also mention "Kryptonian and human DNA" in the description, so maybe he is not THAT far off from the Superboy we all know and love (The Superboy on the cover of Teen Titans doesn't look like a robot..). It looks like the "Young Justice" superheroes are starting over, so it will be interesting to see if the Death and Return of Superman is retconned, as well as Superboy's relationship with Superman and his earth parents. All in all, I am only mildly interested in this one.
 
UPDATE (6/13): The description of the book now mentions that Superboy is a clone, so maybe the machines are just used to grow the clone? Since they appear to be starting over, the first issue will probably see Superboy's escape from wherever he is being kept.
