Interesting look at teenage Clark, but not quite as good as the first issue. I didn't like the art here as much (I often had trouble identifying people, like I didn't even know that was Clark who showed up at the house until he started doing some of his Superman stuff).
The story (like the art) is a lot darker here—a gang shows up in Smallville and kills a few people in a convenience store. Clark decides to try to stop them on his own, and goes a little overboard with his powers (e.g. burning a guys limbs off with heat vision).
Maybe it's because the first issue was so bright and hopeful, or maybe I just don't like seeing a torn teenager, but this was definitely a big step down in the series.
Plus, there's a one-page epilogue that features some character that probably means a lot to Superman lovers, but he doesn't mean anything to me...

Can we take a minute to see how amazing and powerful the art of this comic is ? It's absolutely stunning ! This second issue focuses on Clark as a teenager. It's interesting to see that he's acting like a normal teenager facing an existensial crisis. Even though, he deals with 'alien' problems, he's just trying to figure out who he is.

I love that cover, would like to hang it as a poster in my room! This chapter deals with Clark Kent's dilemma in helping people, to use or not to use, that is always a question... Favourite comic cover so far, classic!

Big jump in time between #1 and #2. Here we find a teenager Clark who try to find his place between a normal teen and the superhero he will become. Maybe a little cliché, but still interesting! We may see the face of a darker Clark in futur issue, just a guest...
