Review of advance copy
Et si Jor-El était arrivé sur Terre plutôt que son fils ? Superman aurait tout de même existé mais sous une forme bien différente. Désirant ne pas voir la Terre connaître le même sort que Krypton, le scientifique met tout son savoir au service des humains. Mais sont-ils seulement prêts à le recevoir ?
Le postulat de ce titre était prometteur, son développement l'était tout autant. Le questionnement à l'échelle de l'humanité est forcément des plus pertinents, mais celui de Jor-El l'est tout autant et permet de s'engager pleinement. Je regrette que les deux derniers numéros partent dans du gros affrontement un peu générique plutôt que de pousser les thématiques plus loin, mais c'est déjà pas mal du tout.

Putting a star rating on it because it's getting bombed early.
I liked this alt-exploration of Superman, and the ending was uplifting. Porter put together a good story. The art was uneven at times but still good to look at. Nice job, gents.
