@Reaganfan78 I’m glad you enjoyed (and very much so, it seems!) this week’s comics. Generally speaking, this arc seems to get the stink eye from some, but I’ve always enjoyed it.
@msgtv During my re-read, I thought the exact same thing about this being a counterpoint to Bendis’ current arc. I wonder if he’s read this story, and if he did, if it influenced him.
As for Conduit, as far as I recall, he’s been dead since 1995. It would have been cool to see him come back during Blackest Night, and I’m always hopeful he’ll get a reboot in the future.
First time I ever saw Clark Kent “die” is when he had to fake his death. He went by John Clark, a fireman. Of course it was temporary. Afterwards the Metropolis fire department checked their records for any “John Clark” and they did in fact find a match. The man had died years ago.
Ooooooooooooooo spooky.
Adventures of 523 was another topflight issue. One of the things I liked was how well the fight was choreographed. Not just punches, heat vision and speed.
I read it in real time right before I dropped the Superman titles for awhile. I just wasn’t feeling it and don’t enjoy some of the art here. They could be owed some to the mullet, though. Which is odd given how unkempt I let my hair get sometimes.
My favorite “death” this week was the animated episode. That was really well done, and it was fun seeing Clark in investigation action.
My favorite issue was when Lois finally catches up to Superman. But how sad was it that Jimmy was such an afterthought? “Oh, by the way, I completely forgot that your best pal is likely in mortal danger and no one know where he is.” Bad form, Lois!
Hey @Vroom, do know if Detective Bowman a character from a comic book or he just a character for Superman the animated series?
In his very first comic appearance Superman trys to save a guy from being executed!
For more issues under the belt today as Kenny continues to attempt to fill the gaping hole left in his life by placing second in the junior high Sports Fest. So, I’m not sure here is Superman saying he should’ve killed Lois?
Kenny to Pipeline Operatives: Lois Lane is a fugitive! I want you to search every hotdog stand, pretzel cart, gelato seller and taco truck between here and Gotham!
That was an interesting video. I like the idea of doing some sort of side elseworld story to do something different – everyone’s expecting a Luthor movie, why not mess with fan expectations?
What’s funny is that I think in a lot of ways recent Superman movies have actually done the very things he thought of when talking about hope and people coming together – the problem is that people are just so blinded by nostalgia that they can’t see it.
Superman’s true motto: “I’m the best there is at what I do, and what I do is inspire an entire genre of storytelling that’s lasted 80+ years, along with being an everlasting symbol of hope and justice to everyone, everywhere.”
