Superman: Earth One

by J. Michael Straczynski

I rather enjoyed this, its nothing new to be fair but a nice modern version of bringing the story to our modern time. Worth picking up if you are a fan of Superman.

yeah there was some talk a few months back about how this is the new EMO Superman

Yeah I'll be honest he is not a emo version lol, he does wear a hooded top and trainers but thats about it.

Agreed. He is totally not Emo. I actually think that he's less angst driven than the other Superman.

Great comic. I was hoping it was going to become a new Superman comic series too. And he is far from Emo in the book.

Yes they are its in development and I think its a grower. Its always hard to have a bit of a new launch especially with something so iconic. Great hardcover though, little touches like that make it for me.

It struck me as kind of like DC's version of Marvel's Ultimate line of books. Ultimate Superman.

Great! Do you know if it's planned to be a monthly book or just these occasional releases?
