Back in December when DC Comics announced the Earth One graphic novels updating the origins of Superman and Batman for the 21st century, I was ecstatic. J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis on a Superman graphic novel? Yes, please.
Since then, JMS has soiled our excitement with heavy handed work on Superman and absurd character changes in Wonder Woman. However, DC released an early look at Superman: Earth One, and the man just may redeem himself. Hitting stores at the end of October, Superman: Earth One takes an interesting approach to Superman's origin, updated for the 21st century. Newspapers are fledgling, the world moves almost as quickly as a speeding bullet, and everyone is always connected. JMS and Davis explore how Superman fits into a world that's not quite as naive as it once was.
For your viewing pleasure, a nifty 5 page preview of this exciting new book.
