And Then I Read: SUPERMAN #32

There’s been lots of publicity for this new creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artists John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson, so I gave it a try. I haven’t read a SUPERMAN issue in years, so I can’t compare it to what came before, but I enjoyed this one. Yes, Romita’s characters don’t look much like other recent versions, but that’s okay with me if the story works, and I think it does. Johns takes the opportunity to introduce a character named Ulysses of equal power and a similar background to Superman. The name and story have resonance: a wanderer returned home to find things much changed. Meanwhile, John’s handling of the Superman supporting cast seems great so far. I liked it, and will read more.
