Superman has seen plenty of revisionist origin stories over the years, from John Byrne's Man of Steel to Mark Waid and Leinil Yu's Birthright to Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Secret Origin. At this point, DC might be a little too preoccupied with revisiting Clark Kent's journey to becoming Superman. But they managed to avoiding retreading old ground with their most recent attempt at exploring Clark's early years. Thanks to writer Max Landis and a cavalcade of talented artists, Superman: American Alien easily takes it place among the all-time classics.
American Alien immediately sets itself apart because it doesn't aim to re-tell the entire saga from baby Kal-El's escape from Krypton to Superman's first battle with Lex Luthor. American Alien instead chooses seven specific stories from Clark's life, ranging from his childhood to his early months as Superman. Each issue features Landis collaborating with a different and telling a standalone story, and all seven eventually combine to offer a cohesive portrait of a young man finding his place in the world and becoming a hero.
