Graphic Books Best Sellers: Superman Reimagined . . . Again At No. 1 on our hardcover graphic books best-seller list this week is volume two of "Superman: Earth One," a new take on the early days of the Man of Steel, published by DC Comics. The story is written by J. Michael Straczynski and illustrated by Shane Davis. The first volume landed at No. 1 on our list in 2010 and received a fair amount of media attention, some of it centered on the hipster wardrobe of this version of Clark Kent. As a longtime fan of comic books, it's hard to get excited by yet another version of Superman. In 1986, the writer and artist John Byrne offered a fresh take in "The Man of Steel" mini-series. In 2003, the iconic superhero's origin was tweaked again in "Superman: Birthright." And more recently, as part of its "New 52" initiative, DC unveiled yet another look at the Metropolis Marvel. The Superman in "Earth One" is younger and uses his powers more violently than typical interpretations of the hero, but I can't quite lose myself in the reading experience. I keep wondering how many volumes this series can last before it is weighed down by its complicated back story.
