first ACTUAL superman comic i finished! 

i started this like last year but i keep forgetting to continue it along with other things im busy with

this is actually pretty informative for me as someone who has always loved superman, i never knew he was only known to leap instead of his ability to fly and the the whole thing about him having a radio show that also fought back against those racists

also, the first ever detective comics? is that really the first cover? 
im glad the author of this comics was able to publish this the way they want to and confront dc's comics past by shedding light on that and the author was allowed to without pushback from the big-name comic publisher (i hope)

A really cool take on the superman story but with a twist.

So utterly thrilled that this comic exists. Gene does an incredible job covering so many different aspects of race, class and immigration. Plus the runner with the kid who thinks Superman smells like cotton candy is hilarious.

4.5 stars

Artwork: good, cartoony
Plot: timely, necessary, well-rounded, complete

I would recommend this to anybody considering (or not considering!) reading it. It’s one of my favorite Superman stories.
