I like everything this guy does but his faces.

Seriously, what is with those faces. o_o

[biod]

It's like he's had a psychotic break while suffering a stroke.

[jlroberson]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. I think Clark looks creepy here. In fact, I'd bet he killed them, the way he smiles here.

[causticlad]

Killed them? Probably ate them too, with fava beans and a nice chianti.

*Thhhthhhthhht*

[sadoeuphemist]

That's an insult to Dr. Lecter, who was a paragon of class and restraint.

Maybe the new rebooted timeline is based on Earth-Prime rather than Earth-1?

[jlroberson]

Now wouldn't that be a twist. The final triumph of Superboy Prime. You know, now that I think of it...the problem I've been having with the current characterization of Superman, especially in Geoff Johns' hands...

Oh my god.

This is Superboy Prime with no Superman to push him aside.

his face looks crooked to me

I know the art is trying to be "young Christopher Reeve" because I can see some of the key bone structure, but DAMN is that painful.

More like "Serial killer having fetish orgasm" than world's greatest hero.

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah, I think what they're trying to do is have him be a mix of a bright, grinning hero, while making it have a bit of a smug smirk at the same, and there's definitely been less disturbing examples of it (Gary Franks been pulling it off well, even if his Superman's face looks disturbingly like Charlie Sheen's).

[jlroberson]

I'm assuming you mean the current non-Reeve face he's using.

[icon_uk]

Sadly all I can see is the smirk, not the smile.

[liara_shadowsong]

This. So this. The way this artist draws faces just creeps me out. But everything else looks so nice! My favorite panels of this page, artwise, are the ones that either don't show Clark or don't have him facing the viewer. I did like this moment... although I really really don't like that the Kents are dead in this world. (But those faces! Gah!)

Did you read the whole book? Because the page after, "Bobblehead Supes" is much, much worse. It's very creepy looking.
