Good story and artwork. I rather have seen the artist interpretation of Superman rather than basing him on Christopher Reeve image ( not that I don't like Christopher Reeve but I like him in live action) it a great retelling story take a look and enjoy!

I really liked the art. Superman looked like Christopher Reeves which is the Superman I grew up with. The story was good as well but I have read the Superman origin story many times even though this had a twist to it. I definitely recommend this book.

The plot will eternally be retold with fresh parts. The artworks excellent. But what make me love mostly from this one is the portrayal of Clark and Lois' faces. They are identical with Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. Thanks for preserving the best memories, ever. :)
