Prepare For Superman: Earth One....

Remember DC's announcement about there a new wave of graphic novels being released and taking a new spin on the heroes and characters we all know and love from that universe? Well, the first book in the line, Superman: Earth One, has finally appeared in DC's August Solicitations, and if anyone needed a fresh new way to read about Supes, here's a great opportunity presented to you, as only writing legend J. Michael Straczynski can deliver! Joining him in this endeavor is the artistic duo of Shane Davis & Sandra Hope, and as a retelling of the Man Of Steel's origin in modern times, this is a comic book prospect worth checking out! Take a look at the cover:

In all honesty, the "modern concept" is very much similar to what we've seen in Birthright and Secret Origin, but I'm all game for this if Straczynski is on board. As the guy who created Babylon 5 and redefined Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man and Thor, I'm all for reading this new take on the Man Of Steel, and he also begins his run on the current series starting with Superman 701 in a few weeks time. Also, the art looks gratifying enough, and it has a Smallville look to it, only with more attitude involved. For more info, visit Newsarama's post on DC's August Solicitations, and be sure to check out Superman: Earth One when it comes out in shops on October 27 this year!
