Since his debut in 1938 Superman has become one of the most recognisable fictional characters in existence. Now, prepare for a fresh take on Superman, courtesy of two of comics' brightest talents... Imagine Superman comics were beginning again and you could read the first adventures of the Man of Steel - but reinvented from top to bottom to reflect today's world and today's sensibilities. That's Birthright: the story of Superman - from Krypton to Metropolis (via Smallville!) and beyond. Master scribe Mark Waid demonstrates his love for, and knowledge of, the Superman mythos whilst the graceful illustrations of Leinil Francis Yu bring the story to life.
