Not everyone's excited about JMS' Superman right now...

but five lettered pages are up as a preview at Newsarama. There isn't much story to go on yet, but the art is looking rather nice. I'm not sure how I feel about hoodie!Clark.

I like the artwork from a mega perspective but Clark looks unrecognizable to me. Are they...urbanizing him? lol He looks somewhat thuggish, and that hoodie doesn't help. (I feel like these pages should have a bone, thugs and harmony soundtrack,lol) He looks more gotham than metropolis.

It's rather hard to infuse "urban realism" into the Superman mythos. The two don't really suit or have much in the way of a common denominator. I can see modernizing Supes (a la Tony Stark and extremis) but to urbanize him...that's a bit of a stretch.

Haven't read any comics for a while. Guess I'll have to jump back into it and see what's going on. lol Thanks for the interesting fodder.
