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.
If you read the third issue, he adopts the glasses and Ma creates his costume. The fourth is supposed to have him coming to Metropolis to interview at the Planet.
