Superman: American Alien
Superman: American Alien | Max Landis
4 posts | 3 read
Max Landis, acclaimed screenwriter of the hit film CHRONICLE, presents seven stories from the life of the man who will be the Man of Steel, seven pivotal moments that turned a sometimes good, sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always human, all-American alien into the worlds first superhero. THIS IS NOT A SUPERMAN COMIC. This is the story of Clark Kent, a Kansas farm boy who happens to be from another planet. Its the story of a scared young kid with impossible powers, of a teenage delinquent with a lot to learn, of a reporter with a nose for the truth whos keeping the biggest secret the world has ever known. This is not the Superman you know. Not yet. Illustrated by some of the greatest artists in comics today-including Jock (BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR), Francis Manapul (DETECTIVE COMICS), Jae Lee (BATMAN/SUPERMAN), Jolle Jones (LADY KILLER), Nick Dragotta (EAST OF WEST) and more with covers by Ryan Sook (ACTION COMICS)-SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN tells the very human story of the Last Son of Krypton.

I was really conflicted about whether I still wanted to read this after the allegations of Max Landis being a creep. Ultimately decided that I‘d read stuff by creeps before (mostly dead ones) so I‘d give it a shot.
It‘s fine. This is my 2nd superhero comic ever & I liked it well enough but ultimately I just didn‘t really connect with much of the material? I dunno.

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Lukewarm Reviews of Comics by Megan! 😏

A little afternoon snack and an ice cold beer. What Max Landis has done with Superman in the American Alien arc is nothing short of wonderful and at the same time frighteningly relevant today. I also appreciate the Easter eggs left for devoted fans and all the small meta-details.
