NEW 52 REVIEW: Superman #1

Superman has been called The Man of Tomorrow. In Superman #1, writer George Perez is focused on transforming him into the Man of Today. He’s back in his own #1 issue by virtue of DC’s new relaunch. Clark Kent is much younger than we remember, and his place in the world in and out of the costume is different in this new continuity. How successful is Perez at bringing Superman into the world of 2011? Take the jump and be prepared to share in my disappointment.

NEW 52 REVIEW: Batman #1

Each and every week since the beginning of DC’s New 52, we’ve been presented with a brand new book featuring Batman. First it was Detective Comics, then Batman and Robin, and now Batman #1.

SPOILER WARNING!

Yes.
