This interesting issue goes deep into Superman’s emotions and uncovers fears that he has.
What does Superman fear? He fears losing his relationship with Lois. He fears failure. And he fears for his very own life. The writers did an excellent job of communicating these fears too me. I actually feel for him. I’m impressed that they pulled this off.
Too many times, we forget that possibly the superheros have true hurts, fears and feeling. Examining this angle opens up the character to an entire diminsion of possibilities. Does every story need to be “gooey”? I think not. However, taking the character apart once and awhile sheds light on the personal side that illuminates the characters for us to believe in.
Superman Confidential seems to be off to a great start.
