Yes. Yes I should.
Mark it.
Also, some guy on IMDB posted that there was a surprise panel at Comic Con with Bryan Singer and Brandon Routh, in which they revealed the trailer for Superman: Man of Steel. I rushed back to work from the cafe so I could watch it. Imagine my disappointment to find that it was a fake. In retrospect, I saw it coming… but I didn’t want it to be true.
And people wonder why I’m bitter.
A smile comes to my face every time I glimpse over my TPBs of Superman Birthright and Superman and Captain Marvel: First Thunder.
A smirk comes to my face whenever I think of First Thunder. Or any Judd Winick comic, really.
As a fan of the heroic adventures of both Superman and Al Gore, I got a kick out of this Onion article.
It really kinda shocked me how much Action Comics Superman looks like Christopher Reeves. It really is kinda of amazing and unsettling at the same time. That guy will always be Superman to me.
All Star Superman has been delayed from a week from today to two weeks from today. In other news, squirrels ate nuts this morning and apples are still apples.
So Action Comics 868 like the latest 2 issuses is just keeps getting better and better
Supes meets with the “real” Brainiac and he big plans for Supes
goody, what do you think of the current issues of Superman and Action Comics? Do you even care at all?
Not really.
Simply put, DC (and Marvel, to a lesser extent) has done everything in its power to lose me as a reader over the years. Unless a current project is so pants-explodingly interesting that I can’t not pay attention, I tend to ignore it and do other things with my time.
I think the most recent Superman storyline I picked up in single issues that was even halfway decent was the death of Clark Kent. The villain was awful, but at least the story was founded on an interesting idea. And there have been some trades since then that I’ve liked.
I am, of course, excluding ASS from that statement, since it is–as you all know–quite possibly the zenith of the superhero genre as we know it.
You should realy give the Brainiac arc a a try its realy something else
ASS #12 has been delayed again.

Has anyone ever read superman inc. before?
Well I just finished looking at Superman: Doomsday. Man i kind of enjoy the movie a bit. Luthor actually killng mercy 
:wow:. Clone superman killing toyman wow! I guess they had to tell a story once doomsday died. Maybe they should of had the fight last a little longer.
So is issue #12 the last?
Its the last one from Morisson & quitley so no point reading after that
on a diffrent topic: Goody what do you thing about WB rebooting the Superman movie franchise and making it more mature and darker TDK style? (I personaly thinks its wrong to make Superman “dark”)
And here I was thinking I missed All-Star Supes #12. I shoulda known better.
I already discussed it a bit in the other thread, but I haven’t really discussed the “dark” issue yet.
In a nutshell, WB is doing what all executive idiots do when something turns out really awesome does big business: attempt to boil it down to a repeatable formula and make cookie cutter products out of it. It’s why so many comics in the 90s were bad Watchmen/DKR rip-offs, and it’s why DC’s future comic book movies are probably going to be bad TDK rip-offs. They don’t understand that the appeal is in the substance just as much as the style.
It’s obvious that there are plenty of people who equate “mature” with “dark.” All Star Superman is a great example of a mature, sophisticated story that is about as far from dark as it gets.
I think it would be wonderful to make Superman dark. It would certainly bring him to a new audience. Superman has all this power so he should be all about killing people and bringing world peace by murdering every supervillain, dictator, and petty thief on the planet. Then when he establishes a worldwide utopia, his DARKNESS could create tons of psychological angst and then he could slit his on throat by aiming his heat vision at a mirror and back at himself.
I got a kick out of this:
Serious answer: they pretty much pursued this angle in Red Son, minus the genocide/suicide stuff. It’s a good “What if?” scenario, even though its ultimate purpose is to remind the audience of what makes the real deal special in the first place.
Even more serious answer: the heat vision would melt the mirror, and Superman would have to live out the rest of eternity in a comical series of failed suicide attempts.
That guy’s efforts are admirable, but probably for naught.
But the panel with Samson telling Superman about the unanswerable question (Superman’s response: “What?”) is pretty funny out of context.
