I like it when a Superman writer remembers that Superman also has a super-intellect...Finally managed to get my hands on this book while in the city today (other stores had sold out), thank you Kinokuniya, still my favourite bookstore in Sydney. Read it on the way home, loved it! And OMG! I'm so glad I loved it, I had been worried because of what I'd seen other people saying about the book.
I liked the story, the new spin of a re-boot. And it was good too, to see where J. Michael Staczynski is coming from as a Superman fan himself, his heart's in the right place, he told a solid story, with just a few flaws that were easy to brush off.
Also liked the Superman interview at the end of the book, being interviewed by Clark Kent. It was an odd perspective as a reader in the real world to know that Clark had to be creative, and very much put all of himself into that article/interview. Taking Perry White's advice and ignoring his advice at the same time... read the book and you will know what I mean.
The art in the book was fantastic! And Clark Kent/Superman was drawn as he should be... handsome. This is a super guy, in many ways, including in the good looks department. Superman should never be visually ugly, this is a guy that makes the girls swoon.
To sum up, awesome book, I'm certainly now looking forward to the next book. I hope the wait is not long.
