What if a very green Clark Kent lived in today’s world? Where would his journey take him, and what would eventually decide his fate to become Superman? This is the premise of J. Michael Straczynski’s Superman: Earth One.
From DC:
“This is a Superman for the 21st century. With SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, Straczynski and Davis inject the folk tale and legend that is Superman’s origin with a modern, vital and forward-looking energy that makes for a refreshing, epic and challenging super-hero adventure. In SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE – the first original graphic novel retelling Superman’s origin — Clark Kent is a man looking for meaning in a new city and an age of failing newspapers, hand-held devices and instant gratification. But when you can fly through the sky and burn objects with a glance – things become a tad more complicated. Doubly so when a fleet of alien ships arrive on your doorstep. SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE channels the best tales of Superman with a look toward the future, by two of the brightest talents the industry has to offer.”
It sounds interesting, check out the pics below from slashfilm. It looks like they gave Clark Kent a Hollywood-esque (bedhead) hairstyle.
The Graphic Novel will be 136-pages long, and is available at Amazon for $12. (10/25/2010)
