The Good
Everything? Sometimes, I wish that would suffice, but it doesn't, nor will it ever. I'm a huge HUGE fans of Gary Frank's art on this, even moreso than Geoff Johns' writing, which is almost sacrilegious for me to say. A lot of people get bummed out by the retelling of their favorite character's origins, but in the defense of this book, it really needs it. Writing styles change over the years, and as great as it would be to go back in time and read the original origin story of Superman, wouldn't you like to see a more contemporary spin on it? I would, and did. This story itself is pretty simple, but takes all the elements of what's happened to the character over the years, and gives you glimpses into what's to come. We get a little of the people backing Superman, and him becoming the "beacon of hope" for the city. We get to see the start of the battle between Lex and Supe, and even the relationship between Lois and Supe, and a lot of that all comes from this single issue. I felt this was a great ending to a great series.
