5.0 out of 5 stars Superman, but not as we know him., 22 Feb 2005
Beautifully written, and equally beautifully drawn and inked, this Elseworld story takes the idea of Superman and asks what would happen if he were to truly exist in our world. How would humanity behave towards a real superhuman? More importantly, how would he feel towards us? The narration is superb and the character of Clark is wonderfully rounded and believable, with a thoroughly human voice, guiding the reader through his story, through his life, echoing the fears and anxieties he feels, which we all share. It is a wonderful book, utterly different to the standard superheroic fare of other Superman titles, and totally distinctive for that difference. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great alternative story, 24 Jun 2008
This review is from: Superman: Secret Identity (Superman (DC Comics)) (Paperback)
This is really worth reading. Reimagining the Superman story from the start with some nice ideas executed well. Nicely drawn, well written and I suppose makes the story of Supes that little more... human

5.0 out of 5 stars Elseworlds concept used correctly, 12 Jan 2007
By H "H" (Ancient kingdom of Northumbria) - See all my reviews
this is a thoughtful and well balanced tale set in a world without super-heroes until young Clark Kent suddenly finds he has all the powers described in the comics his family buy for him just because of his name.

OK once you get over the 'it had to be Clark Kent' moan, the rest is beutifully written, taking the super powered teenager through life to relative old age in what is still the near-future to us.

Sounds corny but it isn't. Not as dark as Frank Miller or Alan Moore but in a lot of ways more human and believable. Not just for Superman fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative self-referential Super-story
This non-canonical version of Superman is described by the author as the culmination of a long-delayed wish: to develop the (formerly) obscure character Superboy-Prime. Read more
