This was my first look at DC's 'NEW 52', and frankly, I wasn't really impressed. The 'new' origin of Superman didn't really change anything. What's the point of telling the same story over and over again? Aside from a few minor details, it's basically the exact same origin we've read a thousand times.
The issue was not a total waste, however. I found that both of the writers did very well on the characterization of Jon and Martha Kent. So that's the part we're gonna look at.
