Superman

This volume reminded me a lot of Superman: Red Son. I think it was because Superman was dealing with deeper moral issues that made him feel powerless.

While I am interested in seeing where the second goes, I was really bothered by how choppy the story is. The way in which scenes got chopped up into really abrupt sections really cheapened the story. This was probably done to appeal to more action oriented fans and people who don't naturally like to think very deeply. On the one hand, it's a good thing to present these otherwise rather shallow people with deeper material; on the other hand, it can get really annoying when better things get ignored in favor of works that spoon-feed "deepness" to the reader.

But hey, it is an interesting concept. I liked the artwork.
