seriousficMy one-line (give or take) review of Superman: Earth One by JMS.
Originally, Superman was a guy who saw that there was a lot wrong with the world, had superpowers, and decided he would use those powers to make the world better. DC decided to make him more sympathetic and relatable to today's youth. So, they released a book in which Clark Kent doesn't know whether he wants to be a highly paid professional athlete or a brilliant scientist (who is also highly paid), before finally choosing to make the ultimate sacrifice--becoming a universally beloved superhero.
