These splash pages from Adventures of Superman #1 by Jeff Parker & Chris Samnee showcase the type of artistic pleasantness and fun I’ve missed from Superman in a long time. 

I fell in love with Samnee’s sublime artistic style during his ill-fated run on Thor The Mighty Avenger and i’m glad to see this guy getting more work.  Now that Thor has been collected into a regular-sized TPB as well as Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom (not to mention his current run on Daredevil with Mark Waid), i’m gonna have to drop some serious dollars on wrangling Samnee’s bibliography.

Sidenote: This comic was only 99¢ on Comixology, (the first digital comic purchase i’ve made) but i have to say, until they figure out how to give us DRM-free files that i can keep on my hard drive (like say, Louis CK’s specials), i won’t using that method to purchase any more comics unless they’re free.  If i were to continue to amass a digital comics “collection” I would like to actually own the books i pay for, and not have them housed at a site that may or may not exist in the next few years. 

But that’s another discussion for another day.
