Superman, Volume 1: Before Truth
by Gene Luen Yang
Everyone knows who Superman is! NOOOOOOOO!
Wait. Brah, you're a super saiyan powered badass without parents and mostly everyone in your life dislikes you with the exception of Lois and Jimmy. So who gives a fuck? Just put them in hiding.
It just felt really odd reading this because the stakes didn't feel high when the reveal happened. The final issue of this volume where Superman is learning the consequences of being revealed cause but it doesn't have the weigh behind it. Also Superman little threat felt out of place for me.
On the flipside I enjoyed the start of this a lot and loved him dealing with his new powers. Learning how to control them. Watching Superman grow is always a interesting concept, better than throwing him against big bad foes. So the first half was good, the art solid, but the ending was meh.
A 2.5 out of 5.
