Title: GREAT ART, VIRTUALLY NO STORY
Review: The two stars this book gets is very generously given. If I was buying a pin-up book, I'd give it the full five stars, but this is supposed to be a story! Alex Ross's painting a beautiful, giving Superman and old-fashioned, noble look and also depicting the world's problems very well. But there is no story to speak of here! Superman does go through some internal and external struggles, but what was told in some 64-odd pages could have been told in 20! It just goes on and on about the same issues and frankly bores. Yes, we know the world is messed up. We know that human beings are flawed, etc, etc. Tell us something new and stop being so preachy! I am planning to get the Batman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel parts of this series and I'm crossing my fingers hoping that it gets better than this!
