☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSuperman: Birthright is a 12-issue limited series published by DC in 2005, written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu. This collected edition presents a modernized retelling of Superman's origin, from his arrival on Earth as Kal-El to his emergence as Metropolis's protector, reimagining key elements like his relationship with the Kents and his first encounters with Lex Luthor.
In this pivotal issue of Superman: Birthright, Superman is drawn to an emergency that triggers an unexpected vulnerability, leaving him questioning his own strength. As he and the Kents reflect on the event, flashbacks reveal a younger Lex Luthor grappling with the consequences of his experiments—and a mysterious mineral that may hold the key to uncovering an alien presence. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life by Leinil Francis Yu’s dynamic art, with inks by Gerry Alanguilan and colors by Dave McCaig, the story unfolds with quiet intensity. The cover, by Leinil Francis Yu and Gerry Alanguilan, captures the moment’s tension with striking precision.
