I finally got around to reading this. And it is just average and nothing special.
First the art, Shane Davis might be a good artist, but he really, really needs to relax. The anatomy is questionable in areas and given that he wants to work in a realistic style that's a problem. If it were a more stylized rendering he can get away with the occasional flub or lack of knowledge in that area, but it bothered me. The scene with Clark talking on the cell to his mother, the hands are very awkward, and on the cover too. (Are the being held up, or is he opening his shirt?)
One thing I learned in art school was how observing is the key to understanding what you are drawing. His stuff looks like freshman work. Heavily overdone, and stiff.
On the story. Why bother. The villian, Tyrell was one note, forgettable, and it seemed like JMS found some old Barry Kitson designs to get ideas. Clark stands around and mopes, no real character interaction and the threat seemed to be resolved rather quickly. If you retell Superman's origin for the 100th time don't bore us.
An Alien wants to blow up earth, he blew up Krypton (the big change here) and Superman fights him, the Alien dies, Superman saves the day. Again. The only, only character interaction between Superman/Clark and another character was the one with Perry White. But Perry more like talks at him, not to him.
DC wants to showcase Superman to new readers, give them Geoff Johns' Secret Origin. A much better, more character driven, and fun read.
Art: 2 - Average
