This story was awesome, and it's hard to tell what's better between this, and Volume One, but this story was very close to being better than Volume One. Straczynski, and Davis continue to give us excitement, and emotion, as we have more fabulous action, as well as great character development. Clark also gets a love interest which was nice, and the villain Parasite was handled perfectly, being a real threat to Superman, like he should be. Due to all this as well as other teasers I would highly recommend this to anyone, and although you can read this without reading Volume One I'd recommend reading that also, and I hope Straczynski, and Davis continues to make these wonderful graphic novels.

People want the Superman who can punch Darkseid the length of two continents. While Straczynski's approach could come across to some as emo, the DC Comics reboot and the reported darker direction of next year's Man of Steel film heavily suggests the corn-fed Boy Scout is gone. If this version of the last son of Krypton is not the new definitive one fans want, this is certainly the closest to as good as it gets. No matter which side of the fence you are on, this second installment of Superman: Earth One will receive even more praise and vilification as its predecessor. Read Full Review
The potential for a really challenging and entertaining piece on Supermans sexuality is intriguing, and this series would be the perfect vehicle for such, but the end result does not match the honesty Straczynski seems to be able to write into the rest of Clarks character. That said, for a solid read into Clarks conflicting emotions about his place in the world, and an undeniably gorgeous book, Superman: Earth One continues to merit a spot in my read pile.
