Gavin's Reviews > Superman: Secret Identity

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. This is everything that a Superman miniseries should be. New, inventive, keeping you interested, tweaking the old familiar into something new yet respective of the original. This book breathes more life into Superman than a heck of a lot of the other stuff I've read. When they keep doing origin stories and changing one or two little things, I wonder what the point is? Here, Busiek takes an idea (from Superboy Prime as he full well admits in the intro) and fleshes it out and takes it off in a whole other and fantastic direction. If there were a real Superman, it would be something like this.
I don't want to spoil any of it, so I will suffice it to say, that between Busiek's great script (Clark's internal thoughts written down) and Stuart Immonen's fantastic art (as always), there's one of the best Superman 'what if' stories I've ever read. Makes him so human, that's the best part of it. When they go for realism, this is what they should be doing...I loved every bit of it.

If you like Superman, this is essential. If you just like good storytelling and art, this is a very solid bet.
