Superman: Earth One (DC Comics) reviews

This is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel that does a fresh take on a classic for a more modern audience and surprisingly it succeeds beautifully. This is a great comic that i probably wont be lending to my friends any time soon.

This is a very well written re-imagination of the Superman story.

Well worth a read.

Sold out within hours of release in the States, just goes to show that fans want awesome stories and this did pull it off ,good style it seems to leave it open for the sequel

These NEW year one series are a big hit, I love every single one, each very creative and high quality.

Very dissapointed in this, expected more from it, artwork was very good but story line wasnt interesting and im a big superman fan

Great fresh start for the man of steel. Really well illustrated and written. 10/10

Artwork is lovely. But the story is a little disjointed. It has its differences from the more traditional versions of the mythos, and is most likely going to appeal to a more youthful demographic, but the story leaps about a bit too much.

Lois is there, but only just. Jimmy seems to get more page time than she does. And Clark's character is a little confusing. He seems really angry, even before there is cause for him to be. The villain of the piece is a corker, hope to see more of him – back story is excellent; more than enough to keep Superman on his toes.

I guess on its own, it is enjoyable; stacked against the previous versions of the characters involved, well that's open to opinion.
