I've been following Smallville for over ten years, and I own and avidly watch the movies (both Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh ones), so I am proud to reveal my inner nerd-dom. However, this graphic novel is great because it not only tells the story of Superman, but it tells it from a new perspective, fully fitted into the present-day world.
My favorite part of the story is how selfless Clark Kent comes across as. In one part, he gives up the opportunity of a lifetime to give a Superman interview to the struggling Daily Planet newspaper. The characters are artfully portrayed and make for an overall great read.
