CRÍTICA: http://www.planocritico.com/critica-superman-o-ultimo-filho/ ( )

This special edition, a giveaway for Free Comic Book Day and the first chapter of the graphic novel of the same name, tells the story of a young child transported to Earth -- a child who may well be the last survivor of the planet Krypton. Well-paced, the story is compelling and ends on a note that leaves the reader wanting to know what will happen next. The characterizations are well done, and we see a softer side of Superman that isn't always on view. His soft spot for the child is coupled with a fierce anger toward any who might harm him, letting us see yet another side of this character that isn't always the one presented. The illustrations are perfectly executed, with great detail and sometimes interesting contrasts (largely, the newsroom and the editor's tirade versus the rocket crashing toward Metropolis).

This title also contains an interview with the author and illustrator of the upcoming series Superman: Unchained, which provided some interesting insights into the creative process and the Superman mythos. ( )
