I’m eager to read more Superman after the James Gunn movie and thought this would be a good place to start. It’s a cute retelling of the Superman origin story, told from the perspective of a different character for each season, and I found it to be a very breezy read. The simplistic art style was also so fitting and really added to the charm.

This and Morrison's All Star Superman are the greatest Superman stories of all time. You can skip just about everything else.

“My Mom made it for me.” The art is beautiful with the watercolor and the expressions and the richly detailed backgrounds. Clark is written wonderfully and Lex is beautifully pathetic. The framing around the seasons works really well. This is a great origin story and one I’m glad I read but it would have five stars if it weren’t for a few Jeph Loebisms. One an oddly racist moment where vague Arab terroirs shoot a missile at metropolis. If this sounds like a big plot point it’s not it’s like five pages. Also I don’t really like how he wrote Lois. She’s a little too into Superman and not in the journalistic way. Other than that I would still say it’s worth a read just be prepared.
