It was a warm night in 1989. I was a young lad of about 6 and I was waiting in a line that wrapped itself around the movie theater and vibrated with anticipation.

Superman Earth One Vol.2
Just finished reading this amazing graphic novel written by J. Michael Straczynski and drawn by Shane Davis.
This book takes a very introspective look at the man of steel and changes up the established myth in a similar way as the new film.
This along with Vol.1 take on superman during his earliest outings as the big blue boyscout and shows us a Clark/Superman still unsure of himself and a world that has no ideas if they can or should trust him.
With a few minor tweaks for continuity purposes I don’t see why they don’t just use this as the template for the sequal.
A great read that takes the spirit of the classic character and brings him into humanistic sci-fi world, this version introduces a wicked take on classic villain Parasite, and even shows us a very interesting new version of arch-nemesis Lex Luthor. Or should I say Lex-squared.
Read it and you will get it.
9/10
