This is a great book for someone who's never read Superman before.

This book goes through Clark first starting his Superman persona and getting the city to learn who he is (and what he stands for). Watching Superman save people, go head to head with Luther, and of course dealing with the inner turmoil of who he is and what he should do. It has all the elements to make it one of the best comics ever.

Except I read better Superman stories this year. Both had a deeper look into life as Clark. Both had broader look into both Superman and Clark. Both leave you with questions yet satisfaction. This story leaves you with satisfaction but it feels very safe. Very very very safe.

The art is also a bit on the mixed side. The backgrounds, some fights, and certain emotions are all well drawn. But a lot of time everyone looks like they're ready to take a shit. It's a odd design and something I couldn't get over.

So it's a solid book for first time Superman readers, but there is better.
