The story of Byrne is well known from his success at Marvel, through his recruitment by D.C. to reboot The Superman series. Unfortunately for D.C. they got Byrne at the height of his arrogance, and the low of his inspiration. Superman TMoS V.1 dives right into yet another retelling of the Superman origin story.
Byrne quickly brushes past the first 20 odd years of Clark Kent's life to the ridiculous point of Kent just deciding one panel to become a hero and his adoptive mom sewing ... Read More

Although this book probably explains more and better than most books on the origin of Superman, it still fell short in some areas. Kryptonite is explained as well as Supe's costume. But the letter S on his costume is not explained. Lex Luthor is brilliantly explained. I mean, I never really wonder why he hated Superman so much...mmmm...other than because he's being evil. Origin of Bizarro is also in this book. What I didn't like about this book is there is very little action. Superman mostly ... Read More

John Byrne did do the impossible, and in my opinion, I actually think he improved on the character. I love that Clark becomes the focus and the real person and Superman is the hero. It just works better that way, and when you read this you can see it. This book is amazing, I couldn't put it down. Every story is just great, but I'm not so much of a fan of the way Lara and Jor-El are portrayed (not knowing love, at least not until the end). Besides that, I loved it. It was an interesting approach on the ... Read More

Its okay. This is a very classic looking book, and its all very beautiful on a technical level, but I guess I was just hoping for more. Compared to Ultimate Spider-Man, this retelling/reboot just can't compete. I guess you had to be there back in '86 when all the changes and updates to the Superman mythology were new and could surprise you.

Byrne did the impossible in '86 by actually getting me, a Marvel-exclusive comics fan, to buy & be interested in DC comics- specifically with this excellent reenvisioning of DC's famous Man of Steel. He takes nearly 50 years(!) of history and makes it look brand new.
Highlights here for me...
*Issue 1- Quickly & clearly introduces us to Superman's origin; he gets his costume on the last 2 pages.
*Issue 2- Superman & Lois Lane. This is the relationship that gives the characters ... Read More
