Superman: Earth One Volume Three Review

Finished reading Superman: Earth One Volume Three, this continues J Michael Staraczynski's reimagining of Superman with the introduction of alternative versions of Zod and Lex Luthor. The book opens up with Clark Kent dreaming of his last moments on Krypton as his Landlord is checking up on his tenets. Meanwhile at the U.N each member is debating what to do with Superman if he was to turn on the world, this is where Lex Luthor and his wife Alexandra pitch their contingency plan against Superman by using red sun radiation. Back in in Metropolis Lois Lane builds a "Super" signal to contact Superman to warn him about the United Nations plans. As this is happening Zod crash lands on earth where he finds Superman and wins his trust after helping him with a collapsing bridge only to instantly double cross him when Zod walks in to the U.N as he wants to "save" them from Superman with the U.N agreeing to let Zod handle Superman alone with the armies of the world agreeing to not intervene. The book continues with a big fight between Superman and Zod with Lex Luthor intervening leading to a massive development for Alexa Luthor which hypes up the next volume extremely well. Overall this was a great book Zod's origin is changed as he is now the brother of Jor-El, Superman's father, which brings a more personal aspect to the character. While the reimagining of Lex Luthor is amazing as its his wife who has the problem with Superman not Lex as he sees Superman as someone trying to do the right thing and not as an alien menace. 8/10.
