Just backed this!

Been a friend and fan of Connor for about 5 years now. This is the perfect project to jump into Kid Eastwood with as a new comer and an exciting moment for us old heads!

Tons of other great short comics in here, if you see it around grab a copy!

Oh yeah, it does date the book but it’s also a good thing it came out in 2004 before social media became an all encompassing nightmare reality haha

It’s definitely a strong meta textual take to the character that I think does a lot to emphasise his relatable aspects while modernising the overall approach

Beautifully written, overly sentimental and very of the time with Superman being a benevolent vision of Western military power. I can see why it ranks so highly for people as the personal stuff does hit.

Immonen is a genuis, I grew up with his Avengers but this is something else
