Superman
Superman: American Alien | Max Landis
4 posts | 3 read
Hollywood screenwriter and Eisner Award nominee Max Landis ("Chronicle, American Ultra, Adventures of Superman") joins forces with top comics artists including Jock, Francis Manapul and Jae Lee to bring you "Superman: American Alien," a new epic that chronicles the life of Clark Kent and his development into the archetypal hero he will eventually become. But these are not the stories of the iconic "Superman" as you know him, but of the soft-spoken, charming, often-funny Kansas farm-boy behind the Man of Steel. With the tone of each issue ranging from heartwarming and simple, to frighteningly gritty and violent, to sexy, sun-kissed and funny, Superman: American Alien is unlike anything you've seen before. Collects" Superman: American Alien" #1-7.

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.
