Great choice, M!tch! :)
I was planning to do something more "action" oriented like the one below I did a few years back, but gotta work on those monthly funnybooks, you know? So 30 minutes was all I had and went with the above minimalist take.
Hope you guys dig it nevertheless :)

Cheers,
Francesco

At first I thought it was just a shift in perspective to remind us of the big feat that Superman's flight is, but then I said to myself "Its a bird, its a plane..." and then I finally got it.

One for the win. This would be an amazing comic cover.

Thank you so much, everyone, I am so glad you all enjoyed it so much, especially considering I was almost skipping the week. I am happy I didn't now :)

Cheers to you all.
