Joe Kelly and Derec Aucoin explore the legend of Superman
Last year D.C. decides to send each of the Superman comic books on its own separate way, instead of having a pattern of continuity that tied each together. That means that within the general context of a world in which Lex Luthor is President of the United States and Clark Kent has been fired from the Daily Planet (do not worry, he is working undercover investigating the aforementioned Luthor presidency), each comic book gets to carve out its own path. "The Adventures of Superman" currently features the effort of writer Joe Casey and artist Derec Aucoin to explore the legend of Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Recent issues have looked at the merchandising of Superman, the Superman of Yesterday vs. the Superman of Tomorrow, and the world of Heroville where Superman is just another character in colorful tights.

This approach means that the more you know about the Superman mythos the more you are going to appreciate these efforts, which, so far, have tended to avoided what would now be considered the "main" Superman plot line which is now found mainly in "Superman" and, to a lesser degree, in "Action Comics." It will be interesting to see how the various Superman titles flourish in this brave new marketing scheme, but Kelly and Aucoin are going to have to mix up the insightful looks at Superman with some more traditional superhero, ah, adventures. These creative looks at the legend of Superman would work a lot better if they were not coming up one after another like this.
