IGN reviews SUPERMAN: SECRET ORIGIN #2
October 30, 2009
When Superman: Secret Origin was announced, there were two schools of thought. The first shouted a collective "More Geoff Johns and Gary Frank on Superman? Sign me the hell up!". The other school wondered why the industry needed yet another retelling of Superman's origin. The answer is self evident. It's Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. I'd stop my review right there, but apparently that's not enough justification.
Admittedly, Secret Origin isn't quite the exemplary retelling I thought it would be. In many ways Origin is a fantastic read, but there are areas where past efforts still outshine the series. I'm now actively curious to see whether the project will takes its place as the definitive origin tale, or if it will be just one more option for choosy readers to decide among.
