Title: Super Retelling of the Origin
Review: I have always wondered about the 'missing years' in Superman's life. You know, that period between being a boy growing up in Smallville, and the time when he mysteriously appears in Metropolis. This book elegantly fills in the gap, and the story is quite well written. Over the course of this book Superman learns some very valuable lessons. Like the fact that he can't save everyone, but that saving everyone isn't what's important. What is important is that you don't give up, and Superman is a hero because he stays in the fight, even when it seems impossible to win.My only complaint is that the book breaks a bit with some of the traditions of Superman, but that is forgivable given the excellent story telling.Highly recommended.
