I really wanted Birthright to be good. I normally enjoy Waid's work and I have some issues with the Byrne version of Superman.
However, after reading the first two issues, I just didn't think it was very good.
Maybe I'm even MORE "old school" than Waid, but I prefer a Superman story that where Clark Kent wears glasses and uses his powers while wearing blue leotards and a cape.
This story seemed like no more than "Smallville: the summer off from college years" to me.
