I've been looking forward to reading this since I saw you post the other day. Definitely worth the wait
.
I really do like this switch from the Pilot. This debut is so much more intimate. It's not a problem with a rocket ship (that then gets lifted, amazingly, into space, no less
). It's not broadcast on national television
. And it doesn't end with Lois being deposited at her desk in front of the newsroom for everyone to see
. Not that I ever really had a problem with any of that, but this chapter offers such a great contrast
.
Lois is intregued--it's a great news story, complete with a flying man
--but, IMO, she seems very much more to be taking Superman's arrival for what it is...and not what her connection to the situation entails.
I was really wondering if she'd recognize Clark. Becoming closer friends, having a more personal relationship with him as Superman comes into being, I thought might let her see things (i.e. 'Clark') a lot easier. I guess we'll see about that
.
Such a unique story--love it, DC
