Book Reviews of Superman: The Man of Steel, Vol. 1
Book Review: Good But Not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
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 fights nobodies on the street and the only real villain he fights is Bizarro. Artwork is what you would expect from any great Superman comic and writing is great but I felt someone bored by lack of any real villains. Subsequent volumes would probably be more exciting.
