ThisisajobforSuperman! reviewed Superman: Year One #2 Aug 21, 2019
This read exactly like a legend from times of old.
A romantic adventure, a quest for greatness that comes from the purity of the character and his motives. Like the adventures of Odysseus or king Arthur.
Miller's narration sometimes is so strong and gripping. Unlike anyone else currently in comics.
JRJR is also at his best.
Clark Kent's journey of self-discovery continues in the second installment of Frank Miller and John Romita Jr.'s remarkable reimagining of Superman's origin story. This chapter takes young Clark to the Pacific coast and beyond, as he discovers a place as sensational as he is...Atlantis! There he meets new people, finds love, clashes with gargantuan...
