The Man Of Steel #1-6

The Good:

  • The art!!!
  • Living Kents!
  • Characters are mostly good

The Bad:

  • Krypton’s bleakness (and the stupid “Birthing Matrix”)
  • Lana Lang’s appearance to yell at Clark for ruining her life felt weird to me
  • Supes has no interest in Krypton at all? Flying around for a bit and thinking is all it takes for you to not care at all about the father whose final act was saving your life?

Pretty much agree with your assessment of the comic. Far too much is invested in the ultimately irrelevant task of elaborating on Krypton. But, what it gets right is the character’s core- truly, feels like Superman put in a modern context without being a token gritty reimagining.
