Although I read, and enjoyed, "Superman: Earth One, Vol. 2" first I'm glad I circled back and read this one as well. Yes, it's yet another re-telling of Supes origin story. Yes, the first half of the book or so has a distinctly Smallville-ian feel to it. Nice hoodie, Clark! And, yes, the Big Bad was a disappointment. But...J. Michael's writing was on point, and the sequence of Clark interviewing for jobs in various fields in Metropolis was awesome, and the art was great, well planned out and richly coloured. I can't help but feel that a lot of this was used as direct source material for the film "Man of Steel", which will no doubt divide fans just as much as that movie has, but it's worth revisiting and considering on its own merits.
