« Last post by Dandontdare on Today at 04:18:01 pm »Speaking of of early-days Superman stories, I just re-read Superman: American Alien last night, and it's a terrific example of the genre. Seven standalone slices of life, from childhood to early superhero days - the final story (where he meets Lobo, the first person who's a match for him in a fight) is illustrated by Jock. As the back cover says, it isn't a Superman book, it's the story of a Kansas farmboy whio happens to be super. Recommneded

Initial impressions weren't too positive, but it really took off in the last few episodes (7 and 9 were particularly excellent).
Then we got to the final 30 minutes of the last episode and JJ (and I'm arbitrarily blaming JJ here) pulled a JJ and it turns out the penultimate (and best) episode was seemingly all a lie.
I can't do this anymore, JJ. I just can't.

As for the art I think it has some of the best I've seen from Romita. As with Miller's writing, it has a certain charm to it. At times proportions are off, but I tend to enjoy it.
The key to the best of Romita Jnr's artwork is the inking - which is why his collaborations with Al Williamson will always be the creme de la creme to my eye.
Superman Year One was pretty fun stuff overall - I'm enjoying Millers recent output and have already pre-ordered The Golden Child.

He replied "I know".
Which was pretty fu*kin spot on.
