It's hard to believe that this book has been around for as long as it has, and it's still this good. Of course it helps that you have Geoff Johns and Richard Donner scripting the book. Seriously, this story is fantastic. Then, to add a little icing to your cake, we have Adam Kubert on pencils. Now I've been a fan of all the Kubert's for a while now, but Adam's art in this book is probably some of the best I've ever seen from him. He's kind of changed his style a little for this one. But, whatever he's done, he's doing it right. And his cover is just a work of art. I want to frame it. The story starts out feeling a little bit like one of the Superman movies, which is good, but then the drama starts when an alien spaceship crash lands in the center of Metropolis. There's a little boy inside, who appears to be from Krypton. He speaks Kryptonese, already has more that human powers, and after some testing appears to match in the DNA department also. Clark of course feels overwhelmed by the possibilities, and immediately wants to take him under his wing. But, then the Govt. moves him without telling Superman. This puts a serious bee in his bonnet. But on their transport assignment, someone stops the convoy and abducts the child. Next thing we know we see Clark on the Kent's doorstep asking for help in raising the boy. I think he's really putting himself in a bad situation here. But, we'll have to wait till next issue to see where the story goes. Fantastic story and art though. Get some copies while you can 'cause this is going to be a classic.
