just read this last night, and i really, really dug it. from the smooth pencils, to the slick paper, to the perfectly placed writing.
waid is one of the few guys i always felt was perfect for superman. poigniently noted during his flash and captain america days, he just has a way of emphasizing the 1950's-good in a super hero character, without getting (overly) corny about it.
he can spin a complex and compelling tale (i.e; kingdom come), yet keep it simple and face-value enough to keep newbies on for the ride.
he's, really, what superman needs. actually, this whole book is, really, what superman needs.
a fresh, exciting retelling of a superhero that so desperately needs one.
good shtuff.
