I liked it. It didn't blow my mind, like the kind of stuff I'm used to from Snyder, but it's only the first issue and I shouldn't judge to harshly on only a small part of the story. The one thing that I did not like was the foldout poster. It was more of a nuisance than something I could appreciate. Granted, the art was impressive, but it could just have easily been on a regular sized page. The "poster" (imo) was mainly to give DC another excuse to up the price to five dollars. The poster was awkward and superfluous.
I'm don't generally read Superman comics, but I think Snyder provided a good human portrayal of Superman. And Jim Lee's art rarely disappoints. Overall, I enjoyed it, but was not thoroughly impressed, as I had hoped.
I wouldn't consider either one to be a "better" company. I know that I prefer modern DC books to modern Marvel books as reading material, but I like to collect older back issues from both companies. Both companies have creative and unique characters, and both have had some amazing writers and artists. Comics are comics.
Hello, I'm brand new here.. I've been building my collection for the past few years, and since then I've learned a lot. I'm a big fan of the Justice Society as well as Batman.
