Superman, Action Comics Vol. 1: Superman and the Men of Steel

This is the first volume of the New 52 Action Comics starting Grant Morrison's Superman epic.  Over the years Superman has had his origin told & retold.  In every retelling some of the facts are changed & enemies or specific events are changed.  When DC Comics rebooted there continuity they gave the reigns of Superman's origin to Grant Morrison to shape for a new generation.  This first volume shows us a cockier Superman in a t-shirt & jeans looking more like the Smallville version or Superboy.  Throughout the book Superman discovers his own origin about who he is, where he came from.  This story puts a new spin on who or what Brainiac is.  Several members of Superman's supporting cast are present throughout this story Sam Lane the primary antagonist of The World of New Krypton story-arc is here in a similar fashion.  Metallo's origin appears in this book along with Clark Kent's first meeting with the Legion of Super-Heroes.  Steel also makes his triumphant New 52 origin in this title & I have to say his parts of the book are some of my favorite throughout the story  In this book Clark Kent & Lois Lane work for rival newspapers.  The art is this book is some the best I have seen in a lately Rags Morales & Andy Kubert should be applauded even if you are not a fan of Grant Morrison's writing the art alone is worth giving this a look.  Overall this is a good start but since I am a product of the Post-Crisis continuity that broke onto the market back in 1985 with Crisis on Infinite Earths this is going to take some time to grow on me.  In time I'm sure Grant Morrison's origin will stand up to those of Geoff John's Superman: Secret Origin, Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright, John Byrne's Superman: Man of Steel Vol. 1 or even Jerry Siegel's Action Comics #1.  For now it is just another entry in line of Superman origins, but I will definitely be checking out part two.
