I thought this was just a cool looking image of Superman using his heat vision. Didnât occur to me that it was a spoiler⌠(I would blur the image, but I feel like 18 years is enough time for this to be ok.)
One of my favorite moments from the series. Itâs like Superman playing bad cop with the world
I remember being shocked for a moment, then thinking about it and realizing that this is exactly what Diana would do and itâs what sets her apart from every other hero. âMake a hawk a dove, Stop a war with loveâ.
One of my favorite Wonder Woman moments of all time.
Havenât read all the issues for this week yet, but Iâm definitely enjoying this story so far. Itâs interesting to read this now, because from what I understand, not only was this story very influential to how Superman was portrayed in the DCEU, but itâs actually Henry Cavillâs favorite Superman story.
I think you can definitely tell, from how it plays with how Superman affecting world events would realistically pan out, to the stuff with Superman and the priest. I feel like the scene in Man of Steel where Clark talks to the pastor in Smallville was an intentional nod to that story.
I didnât know that! How cool!!!
Yep. He apparently talked about it a few years back on his Instagram:
And he also talked about how itâs a story that he would love to do for a future Superman movie.
Wanted to show this off â much like Leeâs previous large story in Batman: Hush, there was a two page story by Lee with Azzarello showing the basics of Supermanâs origin, and much like Hush, itâs shown in the first pages of the trade collection of the story.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, all!
Fun Fact: My birthday is on the 15th, so nobodyâs belated in their uper greetings, which are just great!
A very special thanks to club Co-Leader @Bar-El for setting this up!
Iâll chime in with my thoughts on the story soon enough, but Iâm so glad everyone is enjoying it, thus far!
For Tomorrow truly is one of the best 21st century Superman tales, as well as being one of the best Superman stories in his overall modern oeuvre.
Talk soon, uper Fans!
Well then, Happy Actual Birthday!
Happy Birthday, good @Vroom!
I hope youâre enjoying yourself today. Thank you so much for being a special part of our community
Btw, youâre a cool guy!
Oh⌠how cool, you ask?
This cool
Classic cover from Jim Lee (Iâm drawing a blank on what âafter M.Bâ is referencing thoughâŚ)
Love the Batman/Joker cameo, and Supermanâs conversation with Batman as well.
Jimâs Fortress is breath taking
Hell of a cliffhanger
If the promise of a showdown between Superman and Wonder Woman drawn by Jim Lee doesnât get your blood going, we canât be friendsâŚ
I need to see Jim draw more Superman rogues.
I didnât catch this initially, the implication that Superman was behind the vanishing.
^ Underrated rivalry.
Love the bit that his blood cracks the blade.
âTime runs out through usâ while we close in on an immortal womanâs face
One of my favorite Superman covers
Love the conversation Superman has with âClarkâ.
This peach metaphor always stuck with me. Great way to visualize why Superman helping us wouldnât hinder us.
Iconic moment.
Beautiful splash page.
One of my all time favorite cliffhangers. I was beyond excited that General Zod vs Superman drawn by Jim Lee
They had spent some time showing how formidable Equus is, so to see Zod show up holding him on a chain like a dog was a great reintroduction.
It was very Superman of this to be his response to that question: trying to come up with a way to save everyone.
A very âAll Star Supermanâ way to show Supermanâs origin quickly, but with enough nor to miss anything.
If I could sign into law that going forward, all dialouge intended for General Zod must be written by Azzarello, I would. It is justâŚchefs kiss perfect.
chills!

his sculpture Pieta
Awesome, thank you
One of my favorite covers of all time. âSuperman vs General Zod inside the Phantom Zoneâ is a phrase give me goosebumps
Jaw droppingly gorgeous.
âI opened my eyes wide. They dried, then crackedâŚbut I wouldnât blinkâŚâ
THATâS Zod.
That was a very interesting conversation, especially when you consider how Azzarello has written Batman in the past.
Batman in Azzarelloâs past work like Broken City would describe his life before his parentâs murder as being âbefore I was what I am.â I donât know if heâs fully said it, but from this and other scenes in his work with Batman, you get the vibe that he subscribes to the âBatman is the real identity, Bruce Wayne is the maskâ idea of Batmanâs psychology. Itâs not the route I personally prefer, but I can see why itâs appealing for certain writers and you can do interesting things with it.
Anyway, during that conversation, Superman rebukes Batman calling him Clark and asks him to instead call him âKal-El.â During this whole conversation, and really, some of the previous issues, Superman feelsâŚoff, aloof, a little unhinged, heâs hurting and scared and is retreating from his circle of peers and isolating himself. And at the end, when Superman leaves, Batmanâs last words are, âMy name is Bruce.â
Maybe this is me projecting into the work, but I think this conversation shook Bruce to the core. Bruce sees in someone who while they donât always agree on everything, is still the closest thing he has to a friend, start to talk like what he thinks in his own head, and it scares him. Itâs a very illuminating scene.
Oh man, I didnât notice that detail! Thatâs really cool. I kind of felt like the action, while solid in figure work, kind of got obstructed with the panel layout, but details like that does help amp it up a bit.
That is a great quote. I also loved in this page (and a lot of the rest of this arc) the way Superman thinks about Lois. âShe has her faults, of course, but they only prove to make her perfect.â You can really feel the warmth and love the two have, such good stuff.
THANK YOU. I was trying to google search for that and I just wasnât getting anything. I guess both of them being more on their feet and Wonder Womanâs sword was throwing me off.
âIsnât my existence proof enough that there can be happy endings?â - said while heâs uppercutting Zod so hard he smashes his helmet. They could have stopped there and Iâd still have given the story a round of applause.
I remember staring at this page for twice as long as I normally do. Just taking it in.
This one too
âKick his ass and save the dayâ. Thatâs why Lois has a Pullitzer
My father saved me. I choose to save others. You canât save someone who wonât save themselves.
This story hits deep with the questions it asks you as a reader, and this ending doesnât dissapoint.
