It's Superman! by Tom De Haven

[zerohour films]

So I finished reading this book this past week. Haven't seen any mention of it around here....

Anyone's thoughts?

I enjoyed the book a lot. Thought it was a great read--though I feel the Superman (or even Clark) parts got lost in the mix of telling backstories for so many other characters.

I do take issue with some of CK's characterization and would like to open that up for discussion with someone else who has read it.

Although I feel the author did take the character of Clark himself and really show what someone raised in that culture and place in time would be like, I feel some of it trailed away from the traditional Clark we all know.

I bought mine a while back. I really enjoyed it. I liked seeing Clark grow into that Superman role and his travels across country.

Finally...I was beginning to think nobody but me had read it.

Also, I see you are a fellow Alabamian.

The book was a great read.

In regards to the travels, I wish they had dealt a little more with just Clark. They seemed to skip through alot of his stuff to introduce other characters.

But overall it's a good elseworlds tale of Supes.

I will cover this, even though it's not really any type of spoiler:


didn't care for Clark smoking that one time though, just a little annoyance.


This would be considered one:

And Lex giving Clark his suit was an interesting twist, but a bit odd. I guess you could consider it his one contribution to mankind.

I haven't read it, Zerohour, but when I do, I'll be sure to comment. :up:
