Superman: American Alien by Max Landis
4.75
The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because Max Landis is a piece of shit.
Each part of the story is charming and realistic. Landis proposes an incredibly intriguing concept throughout the comic: what if the people of Smallville knew Clark's secret? There's a whole wealth of beautiful stories in this idea that shouldn't be left in Landis' hands. There's classic moments throughout, that really well lays out Clark's philosophy and beliefs in a wonderfully straight-forward way. This would be one of the comics I would tell a new reader to pirate online. Edwards' art in issue #2 is gorgeous, illustrating my absolute favourite design for Clark Kent. I wish we got to see their take on an adult Clark.
