Finished this last night before going to catch Pokemons. It was quite enjoyable, but the body count far exceeded that of the later Silver Age Superman, or any Superman since. This guy was killing people right and left. To be sure, most were in enemy submarines that he punctured, blew up, or otherwise sank, but one rather nasty fellow he deliberately punched with all his strength, knowing full well the fellow would never survive. Wonder what his adopted parents, Eben and Sarah Kent, would have thought?

Lots of fun and very interesting to see how the character has evolved over the years.
