I do not like the New 52 Superman, with the exception of Grant Morrison’s Action Comics where he is younger, but the Superman I’ve seen in Justice League and here in this book does not depict any of what we loved or found captivating about the Man of Steel the last 70 years, I have not seen the always smiling, protecting and helping, thinking before fighting, level headed leader hero above all heroes. It’s more then just him, it’s the armored costume, the way they got he’s hair now, and the new Clark Kent has messed up hair and an untucked shirt, WTH? Now about the actual book, I don’t think I’ve read anything written by George Perez, I know he’s work as an artist on Marvel and DC books, the story was alright, very talky but I did like how the other characters were portrayed, Lois Lane was definitely the best written, and I did enjoy alot of Jesus Merino’s art, Supe’s ugly new suit and hair style aside, everyone else, the city buildings, panels, and splash pages were really good, the best part of the book really. I don’t know how interested I’m in picking up the next issue, we’ll see, and I can hope I’m the not the only one not liking the new Superman, and DC wises up and begins to make Superman the Superhero we can look up to and believe in again.

  1. First, I should say that I am a complete newbie when it comes to comics. My local comic book store guy suggested that I start out with the New 52. My only experience with Superman is with the various tv shows, cartoons, and movies. Superman #1 kind of left me flat, but I am giving it a chance for the story arch to pick up. Other than finding Lois with another guy, there wasn’t much of a tease for the next one. At least the Batman #1 left wanting to read #2.
