    So happy you loved it! It really stood out to me as a great Superman interpretation. I agree that none of the cameos felt shoehorned in and instead felt natural.

      You were one of the maybe 2-3 people I specifically remember recommending this to me in a comment, and wow I appreciate that! Easily one of my favorite Superman stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a minute 👏
      Excellent book 📚

    Its great to see someone reviewing this title n talking bout it! N ur certainly worthy of it Dom, i read this years ago when it first came out. To me personally, even if its not 'All Star Superman' tier, i definitely put it up there with Superman Secret Origin by Geoff Johns , Secret Identitiy by Kurt Busiek n Red Son by Millar as far as origin stories goes by. Great review, glad u did it...peace n love, cheers!

    It’s too bad Landis turned out to have some serious issues. This was a really, really good series either way.

      @@TheComicBookReport well Superman has so damn cannon, non canon, or alternate universe origin stories. Don’t understand why they can’t keep it simple like characters like Batman only had one defining origin like year one or zero year that one hasn’t changed unless the story was in a different world.

    This is definitely in my top 3 Superman stories right next to secret origin and all star Superman probably my favorite lex luthor moment in comics (right next to the final confrontation in the luthor graphic novel) it's absolutely hilarious that Superman's first cape is Batman's! I think my favorite aspect of Superman is the Clark Kent persona and it's really great that this book highlights that! Also I love that Lois Lane falls in love with the man and not the superhero! 9.5/10

    I’ve been interested in reading this for a while, especially since it influenced the “Superman: Man of Tomorrow” movie, and the current “My Adventures w/ Superman” show.

      Yeah I don’t know much about his personal life but as for the story I loved it! A fantastic Superman story, or set of stories. Gorgeously illustrated and memorable for me. This is absolutely one I plan to revisit periodically in the future. 👏

      Landis has a REALLY bad reputation for being a Hollywood creep. Apparently, he got banned from the set of a movie HE WROTE because of how he treated the women.
      Will do! I’m still hoping to get Tom King’s Up in the Sky in trade (it sadly went out of print 😢).

      That’s the advantage to companies taking most of the money off these things.
      If the creatives behind it end up terrible people, you can still buy without much guilt.
