Clark Kent is different. He has the ability to fly, see through walls, and burn objects with his gaze. He is incredibly powerful but he is alone and purposeless.

Like almost all twenty-year-olds, he doesn't know what he wants from life. He can engage in everything: sports, sciences, economics, media. He can go very far... if he keeps his superhuman powers secret.

When the sky darkens from the ships of a distant planet and our world is on the brink of extinction, Clark will have to make the most important decision of his life: to reveal his abilities, losing any hope of living a normal life... or to let Earth be destroyed.

Famous creator J. Michael Straczynski guides us into the universe of "Earth One", a parallel version of the superhero universe, and tells the modern story of the sole survivor of the planet Krypton, as well as his desperate struggle to save humanity from the alien force that destroyed his own world. With the help of acclaimed illustrator Shane Davis (Green Lantern), Straczynski presents us with an exciting and different narrative of Superman's early steps...

"Superman: Earth One" equally develops the character, the myth, and the action, elements that constitute the ingredients of every classic Superman story. I believed every moment. I know that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster would consider it great!"
(Richard Donner)

"If you want to reimagine the most iconic and beloved character of the last decades, there is only one choice. The road to Superman leads to Straczynski. It is an incredible work."
(Harlan Ellison)
