Superman: American Alien - Max Landis
Collecting all seven issues, this book adapts, retells, and modernizes the Superman mythos. But as the jacket states, this is not a Superman story. It's the story of Clark Kent, an alien wondering who he is. Meeting Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen and Lex Luthor, fighting the Parasite — these are not the point of the stories, but merely events that help Clark discover what he should be. I love how Landis implied that the whole town of Smallville knows Clark is Superman and keeps it to themselves, I love the Lois Lane romance (although it's extremely compressed), I love the retelling of the Deathstroke meeting on the yacht. Just brilliant mythmaking. [5]
