I could see why people have problems with this. I really don't though. Most people hate Frank Miller for the reasons that I love him. I enjoyed this take on Clark and felt it was an appropriate origin considering what Superman is like in The Dark Knight Returns. The Navy SEALs addition was pretty cool when keeping in mind how Clark later becomes a government controlled puppet in a sense. I also thought that the telepathy part was interesting and alien-like, which I thought was a nice change. The art though... I don't know, I just felt conflicted with it. I read all the Kick-Ass books growing up and I remember JRJR being much better back then. Still, there were moments that I thought looked really cool. Then again there were panels that bugged me due to the weird faces and lack of consecutive detail. At times, I would go from "Wow this looks awesome!" to "Really?".

To sum up my feelings, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the writing and choices made throughout. The art was all over the place. It could look great and detailed in one panel then downright lazy in the next. Overall, is this book anywhere near the flawless All Star Superman? It's great, but not that great. Am I excited for the next issue? Hell Yeah! more

History got me arrested. The art is in the details. Frank, puts the world of Clark in a new perspective. We should wait for the next two for a final note.
