I've never been a fan of Superman. In fact I have always thought he was kind of a douche. I know that's harsh but it's how I've always felt. I would pick Batman over Superman any time and any day... till this time and this day.
Johns is great as always in his section of the story. Although seeming as how the first five pages and the last page of his nine page section has no dialog most of what makes this first part great is Franks art. You feel for Clark. You feel his guilt, his anger, and his grief. You feel all of this in nine pages. Pretty damn good if you ask me.
The rest of the book mostly focuses on what the impact of Krypton will have on the world. If one son of Krypton can save the world what can a city full do? I really liked the idea that there are different guilds of Krypton. A Science Guild... a Soldiers Guild... and more? Can't wait to see what they all are and what they are all like.
While I am labeling this a Spoiler review I don't want to give away the end. I'll just say that The New Krypton story has a lot of big players... some of which you won't believe. After reading the Jimmy special last week I was a little confused on how it would tie into New Krypton but now I know and I like it a lot.
Because of Johns, Robinson, and Gates I no longer think Superman is a douche and if for no other reason I thank them for that. I have high hopes for this arc and if the first issue is any indicator as to what to suspect, you should be excited too.
