This is such a lovely take on Clark and Superman.
It got me teary, and full of hope at the same time.
I love how we get different people's take on CK, even if Lex definitely has a creepy way of seeing things -this guy is scary- and it's everything I love about our dear CK.
The art is also special and gives a peaceful vibe to the stories, if that makes sense.
As I read this, this is a +10 yo story and yet it has an out-of-time spirit that will draw you back to it. This is a story for all, for all seasons ;)

I'm not a big Superman fan but I absolutely loved this volume. Each season is told from a different perspective. I absolutely adored his parents. I can't wait to read more by Jeph Loeb!
So, I have always loved Superman and I'm at a point where I want to delve deep into the Superman theology and read all I can. Problem is, it's really hard to figure out where to start. Ya, Wiki will tell you what order stuff has been written, but the beginning comics of Superman are pretty cheesy. I wanted to see if there was somewhere else I could start. I came across a website and it recommended this series as one of the first to read. So here we go.
It's a four-issue story that talks about Clark's move from Smalltown into Metropolis and ultimately becoming Superman. It's a great story line and does a great job of showing that Superman does indeed have weaknesses. The illustration wasn't exactly how I pictured these characters (hence 4 instead of 5 stars), but it wasn't badly done. Like I said, I really liked the storyline. If you're looking for a long-running story with multiple arcs, this isn't what you want, but if you're wanting insight into Superman (like what I wanted), it is something to have in your reading repertoire.

Rating: 4 stars!
This was required reading for my Epic Hero unit in Communication and Literacy class. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, including the beautiful illustrations, and look forward to reading more graphic novels in the future!
