Superman: Earth One

I am going to start this post by saying I have not yet read the second volume, but I plan too. Looking forward to it as well. 

Why?

Because I am a Superman fan. A real fan. Sure I have read stories and watched movies that I didn’t like, but I am not someone who throws their arms up in the air yelling to the sky (or the internet) every time the powers-that-be  do something I don’t like or understand.

Before The New 52, Superman: Earth One was the first real attempt to create a Superman for the new century. I liked what I think most fans liked, that this story was separate from all the other books.  The best part of the whole story was the newspaper interview at the end.  That was worth the price alone.

When it comes to Superman fans I enjoy seeing how people react when they announce, well, anything. For Earth One I don’t think there was too much to discuss. Nothing really major was added or taken way, save for how Krypton meet her demise. No one involved in creating the story really pushed the envelope.  So over all Earth One was a safe bet.

However, when looking at Superman in the New 52 there is a lot to discuss. The sales don’t lie so unfortunately for those who are not happy with this new Man of Steel, you are going to have to deal.

I like most of what I am reading. The basics are all there so something silly as what he’s wearing doesn’t bother me. When I saw the new suit I said as long as it has meaning I will be fine with whatever they do. Does this mean I prefer armor over red trunks? Thinking about Superman wearing armor is just as ridiculous as anything else he does. I like the way it looks, most artists don’t even draw it to look like armor. So whatever.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the second volume of Superman: Earth One. I will probably read it after I give Superman #13 another read.

Have a nice weekend.
