Don't let the name fool you, whereas Batman Year One actually took place within a years time of Bruce Wayne/Batman here we go from the beginning, the destruction of Krypton to a crime stopping Superman. Despite this collecting only 3 issues don't be fooled as they are a satisfactory 60 or so pages each, with each issue focusing on specific points of Clark Kent's life.
#1 Smallville, we see Hal (Clark before being named Clark) leaving an exploding Krypton to his development to a happy child upto highschool. I feel this this issue really highlights the values and principles that Clark holds that shape him into who he will become.
#2 Atlantis, we see Clark leave home to join the Navy to begin to explore the world and grow up in a sense. Joining the Navy for a sense of excitement and adventure of the sea Clark discovers Atlantis and naturally, Clark always wants to help those in need.
#3 Metropolis, Clark decides he wants to be a reporter and moves to Metropolis to begin his new career and start fighting crime as the man of steel, learning that crime can be anywhere from the lowlife on the streets to one of the wealthiest particularly Lex Luthor.
Overall this is a fantastic collection, and I'll be providing several pictures, I appreciate that this hardcover has a sewn binding so there is no gutter loss which might not have been an issue anyways since it's under 200 pages but I appreciate the quality. I will also mention that the hardcover itself is textured, it's not just a slick cover, I've taken a close up picture in the hopes of showing it. There are a few things I found annoying albeit not picky and I'll mention those, just a warning there may be spoilers but I will give clear warning before and space after so you know when I'm finished. For starters, I really don't like how it's a recurring theme that text is repeated so frequently, for instance a text box will say something like 'And he wept' then the text box right after says 'And he wept' I found it frustrating given the frequency and how unnecessary it is in my opinion. Another thing I'm not sure about is the artwork for baby/kid Clark, just a personal taste thing but the artwork and colouring has really grown on me as I read through the comic. Superman a bit of a playboy….I get it but really, is it necessary to have a new love interest every issue? (potential spoiler warning) ---------------------------- he starts dating this girl from school and it seems really special then leaves to go to the navy says he'll come back showing it was a special relationship, goes to Atlantis meets a mermaid for what seems like a few hours and already seems to be in love again completely forgetting about the first girl, then leaves her just as fast, Lois lane I thought was his main love interest, none shown whatsoever here then Wonder Woman shows up and seems they have a thing in even less time than he spend with the mermaid I just found it unexpected, but then again I don't know anything about Superman so oh well. --------------------- (End of that potential spoiler) now onto a definite spoiler ------------------------------ (Definite Spoiler) ---------- in Atlantis Superman is a hero, having saved the town, he wore the costume and all so there's no mistaking him, yet at the beginning of issue 3, the people of Atlantis are trying to blow up a nearby approaching submersible, fair enough gotta keep Atlantis a secret, but you see Superman saving it and you're still trying to shoot it? I thought Superman was your hero and you are trying to blow him up, odd but ok ----------- (End of definite spoiler). A big difference is that this is a modern day origin of Superman, so there's cellphone's etc. one thing I loved was a newspaper in the comic had a picture of Superman flying in the sky but the headline was WTF? I'm not sure if I prefer it this way or if the story would've been more interesting like Batman Year One before the technology but I respect it.
As I said I don't know really anything about Superman so I don't know how much of this is accurate to Superman's story or if it was created for this story but I have my eye on the Superman: The Golden Age Vol. 1 TPB which collects the very first Superman comics, I look forward to finding out more about Superman and if he can beat Goku. I easily can recommend this to any Superman fan or anyone who is a fan of comics and wants to get into comics.
Hopefully you found this review helpful and happy reading.
