No sooner has the most recent retelling of Superman’s origin been completed – Superman: Secret Origin completed its six issue run last week – than DC Comics unveils the first preview of Superman: Earth One, the even more brand new version of the earliest days of the Man of Steel. DC’s The Source blog today posted pages from the upcoming graphic novel that lets writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis reinvent and update the world(s) of Clark Kent, freed from worries about continuity or the greater DC Universe. The result is a younger Superman who, judging from these pages, prefers a hoody to a cape, and feels more than a little directionless.
Superman: Earth One is released next month.
